PS Tutorial Sheet 2 - 2

This document contains 5 questions regarding short circuit analysis on power systems. Question 1 involves determining the short circuit current and MVA for a fault on a transmission line connected between generators and transformers. Question 2 involves sizing a current limiting reactor between a grid supply and generator bus to limit fault current below a circuit breaker rating. Question 3 and 4 use Thevenin's theorem to calculate fault impedance, current, and voltages during a fault at different buses. Question 5 repeats the analysis for faults at two different buses.

Q1: The system shown in Figure 65 is initially on no load with generators operating at their
rated voltage with their emfs in phase. The rating of the generators and the transformers and their
respective percent reactances are marked on the diagram. All resistances are neglected. The line
impedance is j160 -. A three-phase balanced fault occurs at the receiving end of the transmission
line. Determine the short-circuit current and the short-circuit MVA.

Q2: The system shown in Figure 67 shows an existing plant consisting of a generator of 100
MVA, 30 kV, with 20 percent subtransient reactance and a generator of 50 MVA, 30 kV with 15
percent subtransient reactance, connected in parallel to a 30-kV bus bar. The 30-kV bus bar feeds
a transmission line via the circuit breaker C which is rated at 1250 MVA. A grid supply is
connected to the station bus bar through a 500-MVA, 400/30-kV transformer with 20 percent
reactance. Determine the reactance of a current limiting reactor in ohm to be connected between
the grid system and the existing bus bar such that the short-circuit MVA of the breaker C does
not exceed.

Q3: The one-line diagram of a simple power system is shown in Figure 69. Each generator is
represented by an emf behind the transient reactance. All impedances are expressed in per unit
on a common MVA base. All resistances and shunt capacitances are neglected. The generators
are operating on no load at their rated voltage with their emfs in phase. A three-phase fault
occurs at bus 1 through a fault
