  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    A power system network is having 300 buses out of which there are 20 generator bus, 10 reactive power support and 15 shunt capacitor buses. The load flow studies are conducted using Newton Raphson method. The size of the Jacobian matrix is
    Solution

    Size of Jacobian matrix = (2n - 2 - m) × (2n - 2 - m)

    n = number of buses

    m = number of generator bus, reactive power support bus, 

    One bus is treated as slack bus.

    where as shunt capacitor buses are considered as load buses.

    Size = 2(300) - 2 - (19 + 10 )

    = 569
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    A 3-phase, 11 kV, 50 Hz, 200 kW load has a power factor of 0.8 lag. A delta connected 3-phase capacitor is used to improve the power factor to unity. The capacitance per-phase of the capacitor in micro-farads is
    Solution

    Line voltage, VL = 11 kV

    Phase voltage, Vph = (11/√3) kV

    Real power (P) = 200 kW

    Power factor = cos ϕ = 0.8

    kVAR demand of load \(Q = P\tan \phi = 200 \times \frac{{0.6}}{{0.8}} = 150\;kVAR\)

    kVAR demand of load at unity power factor = 0

    kVAR rating of Δ connected capacitor bank = 150 kVAR

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{{3V_{ph}^2}}{{{X_{Cph}}}} = 150 \times {10^3}\)

    XCph = 806.67 Ω

    (1 / 2π f C) = 806.67 Ω 

    C = 3.948 μF 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    A 3-phase, 11 kV transmission line delivers a load of 2395 kVA at 0.8 power factor lag over a distance of 25 km. The transmission line has an impedance per phase of (3.25 + j 7.55) ohms. The sending end power factor is
    Solution

    Z = (3.25 + j 7.55) ohms

    R = 3.25 Ω

    X = 7.55 Ω

    Receiving end voltage, Vr = 11 kV

    \({V_r}\left( {phase} \right) = \frac{{11}}{{\sqrt 3 }}kV = 6.35\;kV\) 

    Load power factor = cos ϕr = 0.8 lag

    Load current, \({I_L} = \frac{{2395 \times {{10}^3}}}{{3 \times 6.35 \times {{10}^3}}}\)

    = 125.72 A

    Sending end voltage (Vs) per phase

    = Vr + IR cos ϕr + IX sin ϕr

    = 6.35 + 103 + (125.72) (3.25) (0.8) + (125.72) (7.55) (0.6)

    = 7.25 kV

    Sending end power factor,

    \(\cos {\phi _s} = \frac{{{V_r}\cos {\phi _r} + IR}}{{{V_s}}}\) 

    \(= \frac{{\left( {6.35 \times {{10}^3} \times 0.8} \right) + \left( {125.72 \times 3.25} \right)}}{{7.25 \times {{10}^3}}}\) 

    = 0.757 lag
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    A 20 MVA, 6.6 kV 3phase generator with X’’d = 10%, Xd = 20% and Xd = 100% is connected through a circuit breaker to a transformer. It is operating on load when a short circuit occurs between breaker and transformer.

    The initial symmetrical rms short circuit current through breaker is
    Solution

    Voltage (VR) = 6.6 kV

    MVA rating = 20 MVA

    X’’d = 10% = 0.1

    Xd = 20% = 0.2

    Xd = 100% = 1

    Rated current \({I_R} = \frac{{\left( {VA} \right)}}{{\sqrt 3 \times V}}\)

    \(= \frac{{20 \times {{10}^6}}}{{\sqrt 3 \times 6.6 \times {{10}^3}}}\)

    = 1749.5 A

    Let I0 be the initial symmetrical rms short circuit current.

    At initial state, reactance = X’’d = 0.1 pu

    \({I_0} = \frac{{{V_{pu}}}}{{X_{{d_{pu}}}^{''}}} = \frac{1}{{0.1}} = 10pu\)

    \({I_{0\left( {actual} \right)}} = {I_{0\left( {pu} \right)}} \times {I_R}\)

    = 1749.5 × 10 = 17495 A
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    An 11 kV, 25 MVA, 3-phase Y-connected alternator was subjected to three different types of fault at its terminals. The fault currents were:

    5610 A for a three phase fault

    6760 A for line to line fault

    8630 A for single line to ground fault.

    If the alternator neutral is solidly grounded, the zero-sequence reactance of the alternator (in pu) is _________
    Solution

    Voltage (E) = 11 kV

    Phase voltage (Eph) \(= \frac{{11}}{{\sqrt 3 }}kV = 6.35\;kV\)

    Three phase fault current = 5610 A

    \({I_{f\left( {3 - \phi } \right)}} = \frac{{{E_{ph}}}}{{{X_1}}}\) 

    \(\Rightarrow 5610 = \frac{{6.35 \times {{10}^3}}}{{{X_1}}}\) 

    ⇒ X1 = 1.132 Ω

    L-L fault current = 6760 A

    \({I_{f\left( {L - L} \right)}} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 {E_{ph}}}}{{{X_1} + {X_2}}}\) 

    \(\Rightarrow 6760 = \frac{{\sqrt 3 \times 6.35 \times {{10}^3}}}{{1.132 + {X_2}}}\) 

    ⇒ X2 = 0.495 Ω

    L-G fault current = 8630 A

    \({I_{f\left( {L - G} \right)}} = \frac{{3{E_{ph}}}}{{{X_1} + {X_2} + {X_0}}}\) 

    \(\Rightarrow 8630 = \frac{{3 \times 6.35 \times {{10}^3}}}{{1.132 + 0.495 + {X_0}}}\) 

    ⇒ X0 = 0.58 Ω

    \({X_{base}} = \frac{{\left( {kV} \right)_{base}^2}}{{{{\left( {MVA} \right)}_{base}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {11} \right)}^2}}}{{25}} = 4.84\;{\rm{\Omega }}\) 

    \({X_{0pu}} = \frac{{{X_0}}}{{{X_{base}}}} = \frac{{0.58}}{{4.84}} = 0.1198\;pu\)
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    In a 230 kV system, the line to ground capacitance is .03 μF and inductance is 12 mH. If an instantaneous magnetizing current of 8A is interrupted find the output voltage appearing across the pole of a C.B.
    Solution

    L = 12 × 10-3 C = .03 × 10-6

    Voltage across the breaker poles

    \(= i\sqrt {\frac{L}{C}} = \sqrt[8]{{\frac{{12 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{.03 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}}} = 5059.64\;V\)
