TITLE
Studying the significance of surge impedance of transmission line.
THEORY
The theoretical significance of the surge impedance is that if a purely resistive load that is equal
to the surge impedance were connected to the end of a transmission line with no resistance, the
voltage at the receiving end would have the same magnitude as the sending end voltage. Surge
impedance load (SIL) is such a load at which natural reactive balance occurs as shown below:
MVar Produced by Capacitance of the line = MVar Used by Inductance of the line

=I²XL

SIL=
Surge Impedance
From the above equation it can be observed that SIL only depends on the voltage level and
surge impedance of the line. It is independent of the length of the line.
It is a useful quantity as it suggests transmission line loading with minimum reactive power
requirement. Lines loaded above SIL are inductive in their behavior while those loaded below
SIL are capacitive.
Power system engineers find it convenient to express power transmitted by line in terms of per
unit of SIL i.e as a ratio of power transmitted to SIL.

TITLE
Introduction to Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP)
THEORY
ETAP is a power system simulation software suite that contains a group of sub-programs that handle
a variety of power system analysis. The analysis types include balanced and unbalanced load flow
analysis, short circuit analysis, arc flash analysis, real-time simulation, distribution system design,
grounding, protection scheme simulations, and others. The software is used mostly by engineers at
the facility design and control levels, and includes energy management modules and substation
automation.
PROCEDURE
New projects can be created in ETAP through file menu in status bar. The editor window ‘Create
new project’ asks for the name of project. The ‘User information’ editor asks user name, full name
and description related to your project.
Mode Toolbar
When you click the One-Line Diagram (Network Systems) button on the System toolbar, the Mode
toolbar is available that contains all the study modules related to the one-line diagram.
In general, ETAP has three modes of operation under Network Systems; Edit, AC Study, and DC
Study. The AC Study mode consists of analyses such as Load Flow, Short Circuit, Motor
Acceleration, Transient Stability, and Protective Device Coordination.
Edit Mode
Edit mode enables you to build your one-line diagram, change system connections, edit engineering
properties, save your project, and generate schedule reports in Crystal Reports formats. You can
select this mode by clicking the Edit button (graphically represented by a pencil). The Edit toolbars
for AC Elements, DC Elements, and Instrumentation Elements will be displayed to the right side of
the ETAP window.
Power System Analysis Lab Session 03
NED University of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical Engineering
Study Mode
Study modes enable you to create and modify study cases, perform system analysis, view alarm/alert
conditions, and view output reports and plots. When a study mode is active (selected), the toolbar
for the selected study is displayed on the right side of the ETAP window. By clicking the buttons
on the study toolbar, you can run studies, transfer data, and change display options. Two of the
available study modes which you will use and associated study toolbars are shown in the table
below.
In addition to the Study toolbar, a Study Case toolbar is displayed automatically when one of the
study modes becomes active. The Study Case toolbar allows you to control and manage the solution
parameters and output reports. The Study Case toolbar is available for all ETAP configurations.

TITLE
Studying the operation of a power transmission line in no-load conditions (no-load current of the
transmission line).
APPARATUS
▪ Industrial Power Supply (N-ALI01)
▪ Instrumentation Module 1 (N-PPIM2)
▪ Control and Protection of Turbine-Generator Group Module 1 (N-PPCM1)
▪ Power Generation Substation Module 1 (N-PSUB3)

▪ GMG4.5K2PH. 4,5 kW Generator-Motor Group (GMG4.5K3PH)
THEORY
Power transmission lines are designed to transmit large volumes of power between even far points
(hundreds and sometimes thousands of kilometers). Generally power plants are erected where an
energy source is available, then these plants will serve all the users located in urban and industrial
areas. The term “Line” will include both the overhead lines (usually bare conductors spaced from
each other) and the cable lines (insulated conductors grouped even under a further common sheath).
Three-phase cable lines show some troubles when their length exceeds 40 km, therefore they are
used to distribute energy between the substations and the final users at medium voltage. Overhead
lines cannot be used, for instance, for undersea connections between mainland and islands. The main
factor for the design/construction of a line is the power to be transmitted. Apart from some particular
cases, long-distance power lines consist of three-phase systems almost everywhere. The operating
voltage is chosen according to the power in order to minimize Joule effect losses (R I2). It can
immediately be realized that losses will be reduced when current is reduced, but, when huge volumes
of power have to be sent, energy will exclusively be transmitted with high voltages (of some
hundreds of kV). All that will lead to consider also the accessories, that is step-up transformers at
the origin and the respective step-down transformers at the destination of the lines.

▪ A Network Analyzer is connected before and after the transmission line to measure the
powers and other parameters at no-load.
▪ When the pre-established conditions (380-400V and 50Hz) are automatically reached, the
automatic speed and voltage controller will close the circuit breaker and the 52G indicator
will be turned on.
▪ Start this exercise considering the transmission LINE with the following constants:
Resistance = 33 Ω; Capacitance = 2 µF on both sides of pi-model; Inductance = 0.033 H.
▪ The reference electric diagram, the connections and configuration of the line are respectively
shown in the Figures 1 and 2.
▪ Read the electric quantities on the network analyzers and write them down in the following
table.
▪ Remove left side capacitor bank, right side capacitor bank and then both the capacitor banks
and respectively read the electric quantities on the network analyzers in all configurations.
OBSERVATION
Actual measurements carried out on the LINE with: Resistance = 33Ω; Capacitance = 2µF;
Inductance = 0.033 H.
The reactive power that must be provided by each capacitor in a three-phase transmission line
system with star connected line capacitors is:
𝟐
𝑽𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝟐
𝑸𝑪𝟏 = 𝑿𝒄 ∗ 𝑰𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 = 𝑿𝒄 ∗ ( ) = 𝑽𝟐𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 /𝑿𝒄
𝑿𝒄
𝑸𝑪𝟏 = reactive power due to the capacitance between two active conductors
𝑸𝑪𝟏 resulting from the formula indicated above is calculated for only one phase.
Total reactive power of the three-phase transmission line:
𝑸𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 = 𝟑 ∗ 𝑸𝑪𝟏 = 𝟗𝟎 𝑽𝑨𝑹
Compare the reactive power measured on the line to that calculated with the above formulae.
The no-load operation of the transmission line detects some active power, and this is due to the
dielectric losses and due to the discharge resistances available in capacitors.

TITLE
Short circuit analysis on ETAP
OBJECTIVES
1. To run short analysis on a test system for determining values of Short Circuit current,
line currents and bus voltages.
2. To observe the effect of fault location on the fault currents.
3. To study the effect of motor contributions to fault current.
4. To study the effects of reactor placement.
THEORY
A short-circuit fault takes place when two or more conductors come in contact with each other
when normally they operate with a potential difference between them. The contact may be a
physical metallic one, or it may occur through an arc. In the metal-to-metal contact case, the
voltage between the two parts is reduced to zero. On the other hand, the voltage through an arc
will be of a very small value. Short-circuit faults in three-phase systems are classified as:
Generator failure is caused by insulation breakdown between turns in the same slot or between
the winding and the steel structure of the machine. The same can take place in transformers.
The breakdown is due to insulation deterioration combined with switching or lightning
overvoltage. Overhead lines are constructed of bare conductors. Wind, sleet, trees, cranes,
kites, airplanes, birds, or damage to supporting structure are causes for accidental faults on
overhead lines. Contamination of insulators and lightning overvoltage
will in general result in short-circuit faults. Deterioration of insulation in underground cables
results in short circuit faults. This is mainly attributed to aging combined with overloading.
About 75 percent of the energy system’s faults are due to single-line-to-ground faults and result
from insulator flashover during electrical storms. Only one in twenty faults is due to the
balanced category.
A fault will cause currents of high value to flow through the network to the faulted point. The
amount of current may be much greater than the designed thermal ability of the conductors in
the power lines or machines feeding the fault. As a result, temperature rise may cause damage
by annealing of conductors and insulation charring. In addition, the low voltage in the
neighborhood of the fault will cause equipment malfunction.
Short-circuit and protection studies are an essential tool for the electric energy systems
engineer. The task is to calculate the fault conditions and to provide protective equipment
designed to isolate the faulted zone from the remainder of the system in the appropriate time.
Power System Analysis Lab Session 06
NED University of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical Engineering
The least complex fault category computationally is the balanced fault. It is possible that a
balanced fault could (in some locations) result in currents smaller than that due to some other
type of fault. The interrupting capacity of breakers should be chosen to accommodate the
largest of fault currents, and hence, care must be taken not to base protection decisions on the
results of a balanced three phase fault. 1
All machines are represented by their internal impedances. Line capacitances and static loads
are neglected. Transformer taps can be set at either the nominal position or at the tapped
position, and different schemes are available to correct transformer impedance and system
voltages if off-nominal tap setting exists. It is assumed that for 3-phase fault, the fault is bolted.
Therefore, arc resistances are not considered. You can specify fault impedance in the Short
Circuit Study Case for single-phase to ground fault. System impedances are assumed to be
balanced 3-phase, and the method of symmetrical components is used for unbalanced fault
calculations.
Three different impedance networks are formed to calculate momentary, interrupting, and
steady-state short circuit currents, and corresponding duties for various protective devices.
These networks are: ½ cycle network (sub transient network), 1.5-4 cycle network (transient
network), and 30 cycle network (steady-state network).
ANSI/IEEE Standards recommend the use of separate R and X networks to calculate X/R
values. An X/R ratio is obtained for each individual faulted bus and short circuit current. This
X/R ratio is then used to determine the multiplying factor to account for the system DC offset.
Using the ½ cycle and 1.5-4 cycle networks, the symmetrical rms value of the momentary and
interrupting short circuit currents are solved first. These values are then multiplied by
appropriate multiplying factors to finally obtain the asymmetrical value of the momentary and
interrupting short circuit currents.
½ Cycle Network
This is the network used to calculate momentary short circuit current and protective device
duties at the ½ cycle after the fault. The ½ cycle network is also referred to as the sub-transient
network, primarily because all rotating machines are represented by their sub-transient
reactance.

Click this button to perform a 3-phase fault study per ANSI C37 Standard. This study calculates
momentary symmetrical and asymmetrical rms, momentary asymmetrical crest, interrupting
symmetrical rms, and interrupting adjusted symmetrical rms short circuit currents at faulted
buses. ETAP checks the protective device rated close and latching, and adjusted interrupting
capacities against the fault currents, and flags inadequate devices. Generators and motors are
modeled by their positive sequence sub-transient reactance. Note that device duty calculation
for protective devices that are connected to single-phase loads is carried out only when you run
the Panel/UPS/1-Ph System Device Duty calculation.

TITLE
Symmetrical component analysis on Simulink.
OBJECTIVES
1. To observe the set of symmetrical components currents and voltages using sequence
analyzer in MATLAB
2. To observe the effect of neutral grounding on the flow of zero sequence current
3. To observe different cases of unbalancing (Unbalanced loads , unbalanced faults)
4. To observe the complex power associated with the symmetrical components
THEORY
The method of symmetrical components is used to simplify fault analysis by converting a three-
phase unbalanced system into two sets of balanced phasors and a set of single-phase
phasors, or symmetrical components. These sets of phasors are called the positive-, negative-,
and zero-sequence components. These components allow for the simple analysis of power
systems under faulted or other unbalanced conditions. Once the system is solved in the
symmetrical component domain, the results can be transformed back to the
phase domain.

Solution of Non Linear Algebraic Equations on MATLAB
THEORY
Non Linear Algebraic Equations such as N Power Flow Equations for N number of buses are
solved using techniques called Iterative solutions of Non Linear Algebraic equations.
The most common solution techniques are Gauss-Seidel method and Newton-Raphson method.
GAUSS-SEIDEL METHOD
A solution is obtained when the difference between the absolute value of the successive
iteration is less than a specified accuracy, i.e.
| x (k+1) – x (k) | < ε
where ε is the desired accuracy.
F (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x -4 = 0
d F(x)/dx = 3x2-12x+ 9
F (x) = - x3 + 6x2 - 9x + 4 = 0
.

.
x(5) = x (4) + Δx (4) = 4.0011 – 0.0095/ 9.0126 = 4.0000

TITLE
To perform the load flow analysis on ETAP.
OBJECTIVES
1. To design a power system such that
a. It has a swing bus with at least 2 generators in parallel. The voltage of the
generators is in the range of 11-18kV with a rating ranging from 10-50 MVA.
b. At least 2 transmission circuits are radiating out from the swing bus. Each
transmission circuit is connected to at least 1 distribution grid which steps down
the voltage to 11kV.
c. Distribution grid of the city is at least 40 km away from the generation station.
Connect the primary feeders to different loads and show details of appropriate
load sizing.
THEORY
The load flow or the power flow problems involves calculating voltages magnitudes and
angles, current and power injections at the various buses in the power system. The load flow is
a static network analysis, that is, the values of the impedances and currents must be the same.
There can be various methods to calculate the load flow analysis like Gauss Siedel method,
Gauss Jacobi method, Newton Raphson method etc.
The ETAP Load Flow Analysis module calculates the bus voltages, branch power factors,
currents, and power flows throughout the electrical system. ETAP allows for swing, voltage
regulated, and unregulated power sources with multiple power grids and generator connections.
It is capable of performing analysis on both radial and loop systems. ETAP allows you to select
from several different methods in order to achieve the best calculation efficiency.
The Load Flow Toolbar will appear on the screen when you are in the Load Flow Study
mode.
Select a study case from the Study Case Editor. Then click on the Run Load Flow Study
icon to perform a load flow study. A dialog box will appear to specify the output report name

the output report for Crystal Reports. Available formats for Crystal Reports are displayed in
each page of the Report Manager for load flow studies. You can view the report in the Crystal
Reports viewer, or save the report in PDF, MS Word, Rich Text Format, or Excel format. If
you wish this selection to be the default for reports, click the Set As Default check box.
Choosing any format in the Report Manager activates the Crystal Reports. You can open the
whole load flow output report or only a part of it, depending on the format selection. The format
names and corresponding output report sections are given below:
