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.
