Preface
Main motto of any laboratory/practical/field work is for enhancing required skills as well as
creating ability amongst students to solve real time problems by developing relevant
competencies in the psychomotor domain. By keeping in view, GTU has designed competency
focused outcome-based curriculum for engineering degree programs where sufficient weightage
is given to practical work. It shows the importance of enhancement of skills amongst the
students, and it pays attention to utilize every second of time allotted for practical amongst
students, instructors and faculty members to achieve relevant outcomes by performing the
experiments rather than having merely study type experiments. It is essential for effective
implementation of competency focused outcome-based curriculum that every practical is keenly
designed to serve as a tool to develop and enhance relevant competency required by the various
industries among every student. These psychomotor skills are very difficult to develop through
traditional chalk and board content delivery methods in the classroom. Accordingly, this lab
manual is designed to focus on the industry-defined relevant outcomes, rather than old practice
of conducting practical to prove concepts and theory.
By using this lab manual students can go through the relevant theory and procedure in advance
before the actual performance which creates an interest and students can have basic ideas prior
to performance. This in turn enhances predetermined outcomes amongst students. Each
experiment in this manual begins with competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes as
well as practical outcomes (objectives). The students will also achieve safety and necessary
precautions to be taken while performing practical.
This manual also provides guidelines to faculty members to facilitate student centric lab
activities through each experiment by arranging and managing necessary resources in order that
the students follow the procedures with required safety and necessary precautions to achieve the
outcomes. It also gives an idea that how students will be assessed by providing rubrics.
Power System II is the Professional Core Course which is aimed to provide exposure about the
modeling of power systems components and transmission line, its analysis and performance
including the fault analysis of power systems, brief introduction to corona and transients in
power systems.
Utmost care has been taken while preparing this lab manual. However there are always chances
of improvement. We welcome constructive suggestions for improvement and removal of errors
if_any.

Theory:
Consider ideal single-phase diagram displaying sinusoidally ac source supplying load as per
following:
iL
Single phase
Sinusoidal ac Load
voltage
source
v
The single-phase AC circuit, that supplies complex power (S) to a load can be derived using the
expression:
S = VIL* … … 1.1
where V is the complex voltage and
IL* is the complex conjugate of the current.
The complex power is a useful quantity that considers both the magnitude and phase relationship
between the voltage and current in an AC circuit, and it is expressed in units of volt-amperes (VA)
or volt-amps reactive (VAR), depending on the load type.
In AC circuit analysis, voltages and currents are often expressed in phasor form, which is a
complex representation of their magnitudes and phase angles. Let's assume the voltage and current
are represented as follows:
V = Vm∠ϕv , … … 1.2
IL = Im∠ϕi … … 1.3
where Vm and Im are the magnitudes of the voltage and current, respectively, and ϕv and ϕi are
their respective phase angles.
The complex conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary
part. In this case, taking the complex conjugate of the current I gives us:
IL* = Im∠(-ϕi) … … 1.4
Multiplying the voltage and the complex conjugate of the current gives us:
VIL* = Vm∠ϕv * Im∠(-ϕi) … … 1.5
Above expression: VI* is still in phasor form. To express it in rectangular form, we can use the
trigonometric identities:
VIL* = VmIm * [cosϕv * cosϕi + sinϕv * sinϕi + j * (sinϕv * cosϕi - cosϕv * sinϕi)]… 1.8
Separating the real and imaginary parts of VIL*, we can equate the real part to the real power (P)
and the imaginary part to the reactive power (Q):
S = P + jQ … … …1.11
= VmIm * (cosϕv * cosϕi + sinϕv * sinϕi) + j * VmIm * (sinϕv * cosϕi - cosϕv * sinϕi)..1.12

Write a Scilab/MATLAB code to generate and plot the instantaneous current, voltage, real

Ex.4: Two loads connected in parallel are supplied from a single-phase 240-V rms source. The
two loads draw a total real power of 400 kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. One of the
loads draws 120 kW at a power factor of 0.96 leading. Find the complex power of the
other load.
Write a Scilab/MATLAB program for the system such that the voltage magnitude of source
1 is changed from 75 percent to 100 percent of the given value in steps of 1 volt. The
voltage magnitude of source 2 and the phase angles of the two sources is to be kept
constant. Compute the complex power for each source and the line loss. Tabulate the
reactive powers and plot Q1, Q2, and QL versus voltage magnitude |V1| From the results,
show that the flow of reactive power along the interconnection is determined by the
magnitude difference of the terminal voltages.
Ex.5: A balanced three-phase source supplies a balanced Y-connected load with an impedance of
Z = 300 * (36.87 + 1i) per phase. The instantaneous phase voltages are given by:
van = 2800 * cos(wt)
vbn = 2800 * cos(wt - 120)
vcn = 2800 * cos(wt - 240)
where wt represents time in radians.
Using Scilab/MATLAB, plot the instantaneous powers for each phase (pa, pb, pc) and
their sum (total three-phase real power) versus time (wt) over a range of 0 to 2pi with an
increment of 0.01pi on the same graph.

Competency and Practical Skills: Basic knowledge of mathematical modeling of short, medium,
long transmission line, and basic Scilab/MATLAB programming skills
Relevant CO: CO2: Evaluate performance of short, medium and long transmission lines.

lines.
(b) To evaluate transmission line parameters and operating performance using

(c) To write a computer program for voltage regulation and efficiency of short,

Theory:
Given transmission line can be modeled mathematically based on its length and line voltage level:
1. Short Transmission line approximation:
A short transmission line is typically defined as a line where the length is less than 80 km
or the line's length is small compared to the wavelength of the operating frequency. In
such cases, the transmission line can be modeled as a lumped element circuit, and its
behavior can be analyzed using a simplified equivalent circuit.
Due to the small magnitude of the capacitance, it is negligible and can be ignored.
Similarly, the shunt admittance can also be disregarded as the current flowing through the
line remains the same.

R

i. Since the shunt capacitance of the line is not considered, the sending end current
and the receiving end current are assumed to be equal.
ii. As there is no capacitance in the transmission line, the current through the line is
assumed to be negligible during no-load condition. Therefore, at no-load condition, the
receiving end voltage is considered to be the same as the sending end voltage.
iii. With change in load being fed through the line, voltage drop across line impedance
reduces the receiving end voltage as depicted in the vector diagram using Fig.2.1.
IS = IR … … …2.1
VS = VR+IR(R+jXL) … … …2.2
Voltage regulation in the context of a short transmission line refers to the change in
voltage at the receiving end of the transmission line when the load conditions change,
while keeping the sending end voltage constant. It is typically expressed as a percentage of
the nominal or sending end voltage.
A medium transmission line refers to a type of transmission line with an effective length
that falls between 80 km to 250 km.
● Unlike a short transmission line, the line charging current in a medium
transmission line is significant,
● Thus the shunt capacitance must be taken into account.
● The shunt capacitance is incorporated as admittance (Y) in the ABCD circuit
parameters.

A long transmission line refers to a type of transmission line with an effective length that exceeds
250 km.
● No longer can model line parameters as lumped rather they are modeled as distributed
uniformly along the total length.
● The calculations for circuit parameters will require rigorous solutions due to the
complexity involved.

L circuit mathematically
(b) To be able to estimate power system parameters using transient analysis
(c) To write a computer program to simulate and analyze transient condition
using series R-L circuit model.
Theory:
In an electrical power system, transient analysis is important to understand the system's behavior
under different operating conditions, such as during faults or sudden changes in load or
generation. These changes can be caused by a variety of factors, including switching operations,
lightning strikes, or faults in the system.
The transient current is caused by the inductance of the circuit, which opposes any change in
current. With this understanding, transient response of electrical power systems through the R-L
series circuit model.
To derive the equation for transient behavior in a series R-L circuit, we can start by applying
Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) to the circuit. We have:

Relevant CO: CO3: Analyze symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults in power system
CLO2:Calculate fault current and voltages for three phase symmetrical and
unsymmetrical faults on power systems using computer program and computer
simulation.
Objectives: (a) To be able to represent electrical power system transient model using series R-
L circuit mathematically
(b) To be able to model synchronous machines
(c) To write a computer program to simulate and analyze the response of an
unloaded synchronous machine in the event of a three phase fault.
Theory:
A three-phase fault on the terminal of an unloaded synchronous generator refers to a fault that
occurs in the three-phase electrical system at the terminal of the generator when it is not
connected to any load. When a three-phase fault occurs, there is an abrupt change in the voltage
and current waveforms at the terminal of the generator. The voltage drops to zero almost
instantaneously, and the current waveform experiences a sudden increase. This results in a large
fault current flowing through the generator and the associated electrical system.
The large fault current can cause a significant amount of mechanical stress on the generator shaft
and rotor, leading to potential damage or failure of the generator. Therefore, protective relays are
used to detect and isolate faults to prevent any further damage to the generator.
Therefore, it is crucial to detect and clear the fault quickly to minimize the damage to the
generator. Protective devices such as overcurrent relays, differential relays, and distance relays
can be used to detect and isolate the faulted section of the system. The protective relays should be
set to operate quickly enough to prevent extensive damage to the generator while avoiding
nuisance tripping during normal operation.
The purpose of such simulation and analysis is to estimate design protective switchgears, circuit
breaker in specific.
i_fault = E / X … … … 5.1
where i_fault is the fault current, E is the generator's terminal voltage, and X is the equivalent
fault impedance seen by the generator.
During a three-phase fault, the fault impedance is very low, resulting in a high fault current. The
fault impedance can be modeled as a combination of the generator's internal impedance and the
external fault impedance.
The fault current can be calculated using the above equation, which shows that the fault current is
directly proportional to the generator's terminal voltage and inversely proportional to the fault
impedance. Therefore, during a fault, the generator's terminal voltage drops significantly, and the
fault current increases rapidly.
The subtransient reactance (Xd") represents the initial opposition to the flow of current due to the
presence of magnetic fields in the rotor and stator windings. It is typically the highest reactance
value and reflects the transient behavior of the machine. The subtransient reactance is generally
between 10% to 25% of the synchronous reactance (Xs).
The transient reactance (Xd') represents the opposition to the flow of current during the transient
period following a fault. It is caused by the time-varying magnetic field in the rotor winding as it
interacts with the time-varying stator currents. The transient reactance is typically between 20% to
50% of the synchronous reactance (Xs).
The steady-state reactance (Xd) represents the opposition to the flow of current when the machine
has reached its steady-state operating conditions. It is caused by the time-invariant magnetic field
in the rotor winding as it interacts with the time-invariant stator currents. The steady-state
reactance is typically between 70% to 90% of the synchronous reactance (Xs).
The field winding reactance (Xf) represents the opposition to the flow of current in the field
winding circuit. It is typically small compared to the other reactances and is usually neglected in
many analyses.
The leakage reactance (Xl) represents the opposition to the flow of current caused by the magnetic
fields in the slots and teeth of the rotor and stator. It is typically smaller than the other reactances
and is also neglected in many analyses.
The armature reaction reactance (Xa), represents the distortion of the magnetic field due to the
armature current.

The dynamic reactance of a synchronous generator can be mathematically modeled using a phasor
diagram and equivalent circuits. The reactance values can be calculated based on the physical
characteristics of the machine, such as the number of turns in the winding, the length and diameter
of the conductors, and the magnetic properties of the core material.

Relevant CO: CO2: Evaluate performance of short, medium, and long transmission lines.
CLO1:Evaluate transmission line parameters and operating performance using
computer program and simulation
Objectives: (a) To be able to represent electrical transmission line network through ZBUS
(b) To write a computer program to formulate, manipulate and analyze power
system using ZBUS.
Theory:
In power system analysis, the ZBUS. matrix is an important tool for calculating fault currents,
voltages, and power flows. It is a matrix that relates the complex voltages and currents at all buses
in a power system under fault conditions. The ZBUS. matrix can be derived from the YBUS matrix,
which represents the admittance of the network. The Ybus matrix is obtained by summing the
admittances of all the branches and nodes in the network.
The ZBUS. matrix is a square matrix with dimension N x N, where N is the number of buses in the
network. The diagonal elements of the ZBUS. matrix represent the self-impedances of each bus,
while the off-diagonal elements represent the mutual impedances between buses. The elements of
the ZBUS. matrix can be obtained by inverting the YBUS matrix.
To obtain the ZBUS. matrix experimentally, we first need to construct the YBUS matrix of the given
reactance network. This can be done by measuring the admittances of all the branches and nodes
in the network. Once the YBUS matrix is obtained, we can simply invert it to obtain the ZBUS
matrix.
where ZBUS. is the impedance matrix of the power system, and YBUS is the admittance matrix.
Once we have the ZBUS. matrix, we can use it to solve for the voltage, current, and power flow in
the system using various methods such as Gauss-Seidel, Newton-Raphson, and Fast-Decoupled
methods.
In this experiment, we will derive the ZBUS. matrix of a given reactance network by inverting the
Ybus matrix. We will measure the admittances of all the branches and nodes in the network and
construct the Ybus matrix using these measurements. We will then invert the Ybus matrix to
obtain the ZBUS. matrix.
Procedure:
1. Construct the admittance matrix YBUS for the given power system network using the
formula Ybus = [Y], where [Y] is the nodal admittance matrix.
2. Verify that the Ybus matrix is symmetric and has a diagonal of real numbers.
3. Invert the Ybus matrix to obtain the ZBUS. matrix using the formula ZBUS. = inv(Ybus).
4. Verify that the ZBUS matrix is also symmetric and has a diagonal of complex numbers.
5. Use the ZBUS. matrix to analyze the power system network for various fault conditions,
such as line-to-ground faults, line-to-line faults, and three-phase faults.
6. Compare the results obtained using the ZBUS. matrix with those obtained using other
methods, such as sequence impedance of symmetrical components analysis.

Theory:
Symmetrical components are in power system analysis to simplify the analysis of unbalanced
three-phase systems. The method of symmetrical components involves breaking down the
unbalanced phasors into three balanced sets of phasors, each set representing the positive
sequence, negative sequence, and zero sequence components of the original unbalanced phasors
as represented by phasors in Fig.7.1
● The positive sequence component represents a set of phasors that rotate in the same
direction,
● the negative sequence component represents a set of phasors that rotate in the
opposite direction, and
● the zero sequence component represents a set of phasors that do not rotate.
Symmetrical components allow unbalanced phase quantities such as currents and voltages to be
replaced by above three separate balanced symmetrical components.

Objectives: (a) To be able to model and analyze transmission line using symmetrical

(b) To be able to analyze unsymmetrical fault using symmetrical components
(c) To write a computer program to simulate and analyze unsymmetrical fault
using symmetrical components
Theory:
Different types of unsymmetrical faults occurring in a power system can be listed as,
Single-line to ground (L–G ) fault
Line to line (L–L ) fault
Double-line to ground (L–L–G ) fault
Majority of the faults occurring in a power system are unsymmetrical in nature. Such faults give
rise to unbalanced fault currents in the three phase system and hence analysis of such faults is not
possible on per phase basis. However, the concept of symmetrical components can be easily
applied to compute fault currents in the event of such faults. The following discussion summarizes
the application of symmetrical component transformation to solve unsymmetrical faults.
These equations suggest parallel connection of positive and negative sequence networks through a
series impedance 𝑍𝑓 as shown in fig. 10.6 and 10.7 below.
