 What are loads?

a) Loads are specified as power consumption at the rated voltage.

This course deals with :

 Computing load voltage given the specified load and generation.
 Design of power systems using specifications of conductor size, circuit breakers,

system needs.

ZL = RL + jL = R + jXL = / ZL /

/ ZL / = R2 + XL2  = tan-1 (XL/R)

Inductive load - Power representation

The complex power absorbed by the load is:

SL = VLI*L = VL (IL -)* = VLILcos + j VLILsin

SL = / VL // IL / ( in units of VA)

P = VLILcos (in Watts) Q = VLILsin (in Vars)

 S = P + jQ (for an inductive load)  = tan-1 (Q/P)

cos = pf (power factor) Note: for inductive loads IL lags VL

Power Formulas: for a single phase system when V is given in kV, it is easier to use the
formula:

P = VI cos  Note: P is in kW when V is in kV.

kW = kVA cos 
/kVA/ = /S/ = / kV // I / = / V / x / I /
Q = VI sin  Note: Q is in Vars when V is in kV
kVar = kVA sin  When V is in kV and I is in kA, then
P = MW = MVA cos , Q = Mvar = MVA sin  6
/ S / = MVA = / V / / I /
Power Formulas: for a single phase system, when V is in kV, it is easier to use the
formula:

P = VI cos  Note: P is in kW when V is in kV.

kW = kVA cos 
/kVA/ = /S/ = / kV // I / = / V / x / I /
Q = VI sin  Note: Q is in kVars when V is in kV
kVar = kVA sin  When V is in kV and I is in kA, then
P = MW = MVA cos , Q = Mvar = MVA sin 
/ S / = MVA = / V / / I /

Power Formulas: for a three phase system:

S = 3 V I*
P3 = 3 V I cos 
Q3 = 3 V I sin 

Let V = VL-L /  3 Where VL-L is the Line to Line voltage.

Then:
P3 = 3 VL-L IL cos 
Q3 = 3 VL-L IL sin 

Note: that IL (line current) is equal to I for Y connected systems.

P3 = kW = kVA cos 
Q3 = kVars = kVA sin 
Where:
/ kVA / = / S3 / =  3 VL-L IL Note: VL-L is in kV and IL is in Amps.
We can also write:
P3 = MW = MVA cos 
Q3 = MVars = MVA sin 
/ MVA / = / S3 / =  3 VL-L IL Note: VL-L is in kV and IL is in kA.

Example: for a single phase inductive load, given below, compute the line current.
Vs
Solution:
40kVA kVA = / V/ / IL / x 103
Vload=220V / IL / = 40x103 / 220 = 181.8
pf = .9 lagging IL = 181.8-25.8

Example 2: for a three phase inductive load given below compute the line current.
Vs
Solution:
2000kVA kVA 3 = 2000
Vload=20kV V L-L = 20kV
pf = .9 lagging kVA =  3 VL-L IL
/ I L / = 2000/ 3 x 20 = 57.8A
I L = 57.8 -25.8
P3 = kW = kVA cos  = 2000 x .9 = 1800kW
Q3 = kVars = kVA sin  = 2000 x sin (25.8) = 870.46kVars

Problem 1: Consider a three phase distribution feeder as shown below:

source Vs j100()
bus load #3{ kVA = 133.34
VR { pf = 0.0(leading)

load #1 { kVA = 100 load #2 {100kW load #4 { kVA = 100

{ pf = .6(leading) {pf = .6(lagging) { pf =
0.0(lagging)

Compute the following:

1) The source voltage Vs, if VR is to be maintained at 4.4 KV (VR = 4.4kV line value).

2) The source current and the power factor at the source

3) The total complex power supplied by the source.

4) How much reactive power should be connected to the source bus to obtain unity
power factor at the source bus?
