Study Notes

Module 1: Elements of Power System Analysis

  • This module covers fundamental aspects of power system analysis.

Aluminum Conductors

  • Various types of aluminum conductors are used in power transmission lines:
    • AAC (All-Aluminum Conductors)
    • AAAC (All-Aluminum-Alloy Conductors)
    • ACSR (All-Aluminum Conductor, Steel Reinforced)
    • ACAR (All Conductor Alloy Reinforced)

Resistance

  • Resistance in transmission lines generates copper loss and affects voltage regulation.
    • The DC resistance formula is: R = ρL/A
      • R = resistance (ohms)
      • ρ = resistivity (ohm⋅m)
      • L = length (m)
      • A = cross-sectional area (m²)
  • Resistance also depends on temperature: R₂ = R₁[1 + α(t₂ - t₁)]
    • R₂ and R₁ = resistance at temperatures t₂ and t₁ respectively
    • α = temperature coefficient (per degree Celsius)

Inductance

  • Inductance is calculated as flux linkages per ampere: L = λ/I
    • L = inductance (H)
    • λ = flux linkages (Wb)
    • I = current (A)
  • To accurately calculate inductance, consider flux inside and outside the conductor.

Ampere's Law

  • The magnetomotive force (mmf) around a closed path equals the net enclosed current: mmf = ∮H ds = I
    • H = magnetic field intensity (At/m)
    • s = distance along the path (m)
    • I = enclosed current (A)

Inductance Calculation for Two-Wire Transmission Line

  • Inductance of a two-wire circuit: L = 2x10⁻⁷ In(D/r) H/m
    • D = distance between conductors (m)
    • r = radius of each conductor (m)
  • For Multiple Conductors: Inductance calculations become more complex involving mutual inductance (between conductors) and calculating geometric mean radius (GMD) and geometric mean distance (GMD)

Inductance Calculation for Composite Conductors

  • Inductance calculation for composite conductors considers multiple filaments.
    • Different filaments exhibit different inductances.
  • Overall inductance is calculated by considering the individual inductances of filaments.

Capacitance

  • Capacitance is related to the charge and voltage: C = q/V
  • Capacitance per unit length of a long straight cylindrical conductor: C = 2πɛ/ln(D/r)
    • ɛ = permittivity (F/m)
    • D = distance to surrounding (m)
  • Capacitance formulas for specific configurations (e.g., single-phase, three-phase) and calculations involving grounded center tap arrangements are also discussed.

Calculating Capacitance for Multiple Conductors

  • Overall capacitance for a given number of conductors (multiconductor lines) involves complex calculations and the calculation of geometric mean distance and radius.

Three-Phase Inductance for Equal Spacing

  • For equilateral spaced conductors in three-phase lines, inductance can be determined using simplified formulas.
  • Symmetrical conductors lead to balanced three-phase conditions, and inductance is calculated easily using the given geometric distance.
