Power System Components and
Per Unit System
5.1 INTRODUCTION
A complete circuit diagram of a power system for all the three-phases is very complicated. It is
very much practical to represent a power system using simple symbols-for each component.
resulting in what is called a single-line diagram.
Power system engineers have devised the per-unit system such that different physical
quantities such as current, voltage, power and impedance are expressed as a decimal fraction,
or multiple of base quantities. In this system, the different voltage levels disappear and a power
network consisting synchronous generators, transformers and lines reduces to a system of
simple impedances,
Another important component of a power system is the synchronous machine and it greatly
influences the system behaviour during both steady state and transient conditions. The
synchronous machine model, in steady state and transient conditions is given in chapter 4.0.
5.2 SINGLE PHASE REPRESENTATION OF A BALANCED
THREE PHASE SYSTEM
Figure 5.1 shows a simple balanced three-phase network. As the network is balanced, the
neutral impedance Z, does not affect the behaviour of the network,

5.3. THE PER-UNIT (pu) SYSTEM
Power system quantities such as current, voltage, impedance and power are often expressed in
per-unit values. For example, if base voltage if 220 KV is specified, then the voltage 210 KV is
210/220 = 0.954 pu. One major advantage of the per-unit is that by properly specifying base
‘quantities, the equivalent circuit of transformer can be simplified. When expressed in per-unit
values, the equivalent impedance of a transformer whether referred to primary or secondary,
is the same. Another advantage of the per-unit system is thal the comparison of thecharacteristies
of the various electrical apparatus of different types and ratings is facilitated by expressing the
impedances in per-unit based on their ratings. When all the quantities are converted in per-unit
values, the different voltage levels disappear and power network involving synchronous
generators, transformers and lines reduces to a system of simple impedances,
Per-unit quantities are calculated ag follows:

quantities and denominators (.0., Sp, Vp, Ip and Zq) are always real numbers. To completely
define a per-unit system, minimum four base quantities are required.
‘Two independent base values can be arbitrarily selected at one point in a power system,
Usually, the three-phase base volt-ampere Sor (MVA), and the line-to-line base voltage Vp or
(kV) are selected, The base value has the same units as the actual quantity and hence making
the per-unit quantity dimensionless. Then, in order for electrical laws to be valid in the per-unit.

5.5.1 Tap Changing Transformer
‘The main purpose of all power transformer and distribution transformers is to transform
clectric energy from one voltage level to another. Practically all power and many distribution
transformers have taps for changing the turns ratio. Voltage magnitudb is altered by changing.
the tap setting and affects the distribution of VARS and may be used to control the flow of
reactive power. There are two types of tap changing transformers,
() Offload tap changing transformers,
Gi Tap changing under load (TCUL) transformers.
‘The off-load tap changing transformer requires the disconnection of the transformer when.
the tap setting is to be changed. Figure 5.23 gives the connection of off-load tap changing
transformer. A typical offload tap changing transformer might have four taps in addition to the
nominal setting,
‘Tap changing under load is used when changes in turn ratio may be frequent. Basically, a
‘TCUL transformer is a transformer with the ability to change taps while power is connected.
Figure 5.24 gives the diagram of on-load tap changing transformer. In the position shown in.
Fig. 5.24, the voltage is maximum, To change the voltage, following operations are required: (0)
open Al, (fi) move selector switch PI to the next contact, (ii) Close Al, (ix) open A2, (0) move
selector switch P2 to the next contact, (vi) close A2, These operations are required for one
change in tap position. Step-down units usually have TCUL in the low voltage winding and
de-energized taps in the high voltage winding,116 Electrical Power Systems

5.5.2 Booster Transformers or Regulating Transformers
Regulating transformers also known as booster transformers. These are used to change the
voltage magnitude and phase angle at an intermediate point in a line rather than at the ends
as with tap-changing transformers or the system may not warrant the expense of tap-changing.
A. Voltage Magnitude Control
Figure 5.29 shows the connection of a booster transformer for phase a. The secondary of the
exciting transformer is tapped and the voltage obtained from it is applied to the primary of the
series transformer. The corresponding secondary voltage of the series transformer is added to
the input voltage. Therefore, the output voltage isPower System Components and Per Unit System 121

‘This type of booster transformer is called an in-phase booster because the voltage are in

voltage across the series transformer can be made reversed by changing the switch position,

Note thatthe injocted voltage AVjq isin quadrature withthe voltage V,q, thus the resultant
voltage Vi, goes through a phase shift a as show in Fig. 5.31. Similar connections are made
for the remaining phases, resulting in a balanced three-phase output voltage
5.5.3. Shunt Capacitors
‘Shunt capacitors are used for lagging power-factor circuits. The effect is to supply the requisite
reactive power to maintain the values of the voltage. Capacitors are generally connected to a
busbar and are disposed along the route to minimize the losses and voltage drops. Capacitor is,
constant impedance type load and its value is proportional to the square of magnitude of the
voltage. Therefore, as the voltage falls, the VArs produced by a shunt capacitor falls, Thus,
when needed most, their effectiveness falls.
Figure 5.82(a) and (©) show the single line diagram of a line and its voltage-phasor diagram
before the addition of the shunt capacitor and Fig. 5.32(b) and (@) show them after the addition
of shunt capacitor.

() and (a) with shunt capacitor.
5.5.4 Series Capacitors
Series capacitors, ic., capacitors connected in series with line conductors and are used to reduce
the inductive reactance between the supply point and the load. One major drawback of the
series capacitors is the high overvoltage produced when a short-circuit current flows through it,
‘and special protective devices need to be incorporated (i.e. spark gaps and non-linear resistors)
Figure 5.33(a) and (b) show the transmission line with series capacitor and vollage phasor
diagram,
‘The relative merits between shunt and series capacitors may be summarized as follows:
1, Ifthe load VA¥ requirement is small, series capacitors are of litle use.
2. If voltage drop is the limiting factor, series capacitors are very effective.
3, With series capacitors, the reduction on line current is small; hence if thermal considerations
limit the current, little advantage is obtained and shunt compensation should be used.Power System Components and Per Unit System 123,

Tittle effect on the power factor.
5. For long transmission lines where the total reactance is high, series capacitors are effective
for improvement of stability
