Ike Electric Pvt. LTD.: System Fault Level Calculation M/S Tneb

This document calculates the fault level for a 15MW cogeneration power plant connecting to a TNEB distribution system. It provides input data on the generator, transformers, and distribution system. Calculations are shown to determine equivalent impedances and fault levels. The results find fault currents of 41.89kA at 415V and 12.85kA at 11kV, which are below the limits of 50kA and 40kA respectively, indicating the system fault levels are within safe limits. Diagrams are included to illustrate the equivalent circuit model used for the calculations.

OBJECTIVE: SYSTEM FAULT LEVEL CALCULATION FOR 15MW ARIGNAR


ANNA A/c TNEB Project.

INPUT DATA AVAILABLE:

1. Alternator Data Sheet :

18.75 MVA , 15MW , 984 A synchronous speed = 1500rpm , p.f 0.8 lag ,
voltage 11kV +-10% , reactance Xd” – 26% = 0.26

2. Generator transformer data: As per GTP of M/s Indo Tech Transformers


Ltd 15/20 MVA ,11/110kV star / delta , YNd1, Percentage impedance (%Z) –
12.5 % with tolerance as per IS (+- 10 % considered).

3. Distribution transformer data: As per GTP of M/s Tech Transformer Ltd.


1.6 MVA , 11/0.433kV ,star / delta , Dyn11, percentage impedance (%Z) –
6.25 % No negative tolerance.

(Two transformer never operate in parallel, we have considered one


transformer for this fault level calculations)

4. DOCUMENT REFERED AT THE TIME OF CALCULATION:

• AS per electrical load list No. TNEB-WIL-IKE-A11.

CALCULATION AS FOLLOWS:

1. Equivalent impedance diagram (Attached)

Calculation

Base MVA = 1.6 MVA

Generator Fault MVA = 18.75/26 x 100 MVA

= 72.115 MVA

Therefore Zg (Gen. Impedance) = 1.6 x 100 / 72.115

Page 1
= 2.2186 %

110 kV system Fault MVA = kA x √3 x kV

= 31.5 x 1.732 x 110

= 6001.38

Therefore Zs (system Impedance) = 1.6 x 100/6001.38

= 0.02666 %

Generator Trafo Impedance Zgt = 12.5 - 1.25 (-10 % Tolerance)

= 11.25 %

Generator Trafo Impedance Zgt = 11.25 x 1.6 / 20

1.6 MVA base = 0.9 %

A) Fault MVA at 415 V bus

at 1.6 MVA base = 1.6 / Z eq

= 1.6 x 100 / 6.903

= 23.17 MVA

B) Motor contribution for fault

Above 37 KW non VFD motor load as per electrical load list No. TNEB-WIL-IKE-A11.

1) 37kW x 3 Nos (2 Working + 1 Standby ) = 111 kW

2) Total kW = 111 kW

Page 2
3) Therefore kVA at 0.8 p.f lag & Efficiency 0.9 = 154 kVA

Motor contribution for fault = kVA x 5 times kVA

= 154 x 5 kVA

= 770 kVA

= 0.770 MVA

Therefore total fault MVA = Fault MVA at 415V


bus + Motor contribution

= 29.34 + 0.770 MVA

= 30.11 MVA

Fault at 415V Bus = 30.11 / √3 x 0.415

= 41.89 KA

As per the above value against 50kA Conclusion found is SAFE.

C) Fault MVA at 11kV Bus considering Base kV 0.433V = 1.6 x 100 / (ZB)

As per equivalent impedance diagram ZB = 0.6533

Fault MVA at 11kV = 1.6 x 100 / 0.6533

= 244.91 MVA

Page 3
Fault current on 11kV Bus = 244.91 / ( √3 x 11 )

= 12.85 kA

As per the above value against 40kA Conclusion found is SAFE.
