Power System Performance (Solved Numerical Problems)

A three phase 50 MVA, 11 kV generator is subjected to the various faults and the currents so obtained in each fault are: 2000 A for a three phase fault; 1800 A for a line-to-line fault and 2200 A for a line-to-ground fault. Find the sequence impedances of the generator. (AMIE Summer 2022, 10 marks)

Case 1

Consider the conditions w.r.t. the three phase fault

\(\begin{array}{l}{I_f} = {I_a} = {I_{a1}} = {E_{a1}}/{Z_1}\\2000 = 11000/(\sqrt 3 {Z_1})\\{Z_1} = 3.18\Omega \end{array}\)

Case 2

Consider the conditions w.r.t. the LL fault

\(\begin{array}{l}{I_{a1}} = [{E_{a1}}/({Z_1} + {Z_2})]\\{I_f} = {I_b} =  - {I_c} = \sqrt 3 {I_{a1}}\\ = \sqrt 3 {E_{a1}}/({Z_1} + {Z_2})\,or\\({Z_1} + {Z_2}) = \sqrt 3 (11000/\sqrt 3 )/1800\\{Z_2} = 2.936\Omega \end{array}\)

Case 3

Consider the conditions w.r.t. a LG fault

\(\begin{array}{l}{I_{a1}} = \frac{{{E_{a1}}}}{{({Z_1} + {Z_2} + {Z_0})}}\\{I_f} = 3{I_{a1}} = 3\frac{{{E_{a1}}}}{{({Z_1} + {Z_2} + {Z_0})}}\\({Z_1} + {Z_2} + {Z_0}) = 3\frac{{{E_{a1}}}}{{{i_f}}}\\{Z_0} = 2.55\Omega \end{array}\)

If a 250 MVA, 11/400 kV three-phase power transformer has leakage reactance of 0.05 per unit on the base of 250 MVA and the primary voltage of 11 kV. then find the actual leakage reactance of the transformer referred to the secondary side of 400 kV. (AMIE Summer 2022, 4 marks)

\(\begin{array}{l}{Z_p}(actual) = {Z_{pu}}.{Z_{base}}\\ = 0.05x\frac{{400x400}}{{250}} = 32\Omega \end{array}\)

A sending end bus transfer power P0 through a transmission line of p.u. impedance 0.1 If the steady-state stability margin is 40% and the bus voltages at both the ends is 1.0 p.u. Find the operating power angle and magnitude of P0.  

(AMIE Summer 2021, 10 marks)

Steady-state stability margin

\( = \frac{{{P_{\max }} - {P_0}}}{{{P_{\max }}}}x100\)

\(40 = \left( {1 - \frac{{{P_0}}}{{{p_{\max }}}}} \right)x100\)

0.4Pmax - Pmax = -P0

P0 = 0.6Pmax = Pmaxsinδ

δ = sin-1(0.6) = 36.870

\({P_0} = \frac{{{V_1}{V_2}}}{{{X_{12}}}}\sin {\delta _0} = \frac{1}{{0.1}}\sin {\delta _0}\) 

= 6 p.u.

Design of Electrical Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Important note There is something wrong with this question paper. It seems that instead of "Design of Electrical Systems" the IEI has given problems from "Electrical Machines". You should raise a complaint to director_eea@ieindia.org in this regard. Numerical A 120 V DC shunt motor draws a current of 200A. The armature resistance is 0.02 ohms and the shunt field resistance is 30 ohms. Find back emf. If the lap wound armature has 90 slots with 4 conductors per slots, at what speed will the motor run when flux per pole is 0.04 Wb?​ (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution The back EMF (E b ) of a DC motor can be calculated using the formula: E b = V - I a R a   Given: V = 120 V I a = 200 A R a = 0.02 ohms Substituting the values into the formula: E b = 120 − 200 × 0.02 = 120 − 4​ = 116 V Now, let's calculate the speed (N) at which the motor will run using the given flux per pole (φ p ). The formula to calculate the speed of a DC motor is: N = 60×E b /(P×φ p ) Wh...
