ABSTRACT

The distribution system is the most visible part of the supply chain, and as such the most exposed
to the critical observation of its users. About 30 to 40 % of total investments in the electrical
sector go to distribution systems. Ideally, power losses in an electric system should be around 3
to 6% .In developed countries, it is not greater than 10%.However, in developing countries, the
percentage of active power losses is around 20%; therefore, utilities in the electric sector are
currently interested in reducing it in order to be more competitive, since the electricity prices in
deregulated markets are related to the system losses. The voltage drop also ranges from 5 to 6%
of rated voltage.
To manage a loss reduction program in a distribution system it is necessary to use effective and
efficient computational tools that allow quantifying the loss in each different network element
for system losses reduction.
Our analysis on two of the Mekelle distribution system feeders, named as, KO2 & KO4, is aimed
to show power loss and voltage drop characteristics under standard load and voltage ratings. The
analysis is done with ELECTRICAL TRANSIENT ANALYZER PROGRAME (ETAP) software.
The final output of the analysis and recommendation on results obtained are provided in this
thesis.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Mekelle distribution system

The Mekelle distribution system named as “Lachi” is found on the northern outskirt of
Mekelle city. This station contains two three winding power transformers with other
protection and regulation power system components. Each power transformer is rated with
primary voltage of 230 Kv and 15 Kv and 132Kv secondary and tertiary output voltages.
The station is from two transmission lines. These are a single three phase line coming from
“Tekeze” line and a double three phase transmission line coming from “Alamata” line. Each
of the 15Kv outputs are parallelly connected to a single bus bar from which power is
distributed to customer residential loads around the city and nearby towns like „Quiha‟ and
„Samre‟. The 132 Kv output voltages are connected in similar manner to another bus bar.
This bus bar also supplies power to the city industries and remote towns like Wukro,
Adigrat, Adwa etc.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT AND JUSTIFICATION

Our problem of statement is to determine the exact power and voltage magnitudes that reach at
consumer terminals.
A considerable amount of effort is necessary to maintain an electric power supply within the
requirements of various types of consumers. Some of the requirements of a good distribution
system are proper voltage, availability of power on demand and Reliability.
One important requirement of a distribution system is that voltage variations at consumer‟s
terminals should be as low as possible. The changes in voltage are generally caused due to the
variation of load on the system. Low voltage causes loss of revenue, inefficient lighting and
possible burning out of motors. High voltage causes lamps to burn out permanently and may
cause failure of other appliances. Therefore, a good distribution system should ensure that the
voltage variations at consumers‟ terminals are within Permissible limits. The purpose of the
distribution system is to take that power from the transmission system and deliver it to the
consumers to serve their needs. However, a significant portion of the power that a utility
generates is lost in the distribution process. These losses occur in numerous small components in
the distribution system, such as transformers and distribution lines. Due to the lower power level
of these components, the losses inherent in each component are lower than those in comparable
components of the transmission system. While each of these components may have relatively
small losses, the large number of components involved makes it important to examine the losses
in the distribution system.
These losses typically account for approximately four percent of the total system load. There are
two major sources of losses in power distribution systems. These are the transformers and power
lines. Additionally, there are two major types of losses that occur in these components. These
losses are often referred to as core losses and copper, or I2R losses. Core losses in transformers
account for the majority of losses at low power levels. As load increases, the copper losses
become more significant, until they are approximately equal to the core losses at peak load. The
economic implications of these losses are far reaching. In addition to the excess fuel cost needed
to cover .the lost energy, added generating capacity may be needed. Also, the power lost in the
distribution system must still be transmitted through the transmission system which further adds
to the loss in that system. It is very important for electric power suppliers to consider these losses
and reduce them wherever practical.

1.3 OBJECTIVES

This thesis mainly provides power loss and voltage drop analysis of the two feeders, KO2 &
KO4 of Mekelle distribution system. This was the starting point of our case study. In parallel to
this, the ETAP software model also provides the other power system analysis results which
might be equally important as per needed.
 To determine voltage drop across each transmission line
 To know the power loss in the feeder
 To simulate the voltage drop and power loss analysis using ETAP software
 To understand whether the voltage drop or power loss are within acceptance limit.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

The analysis in this thesis is performed under standard conditions applied for efficient operation
of power transformer loading which ranges from 60 to 70% of its rated KVA value and that the
system is balanced. This gives acceptable results of the desired analysis. In practical situation
however these conditions may not be satisfied so that the measurements obtained there may not
match this thesis result.
Therefore, the results obtained here can be used by the power utility company to compare the
results so that necessary measures can be taken to come up with optimum values.

CHAPTER TWO

LITRETURE REVIEW

2.1 Distribution Systems

The electrical energy produced at the generating station is conveyed to the consumers through a
network of transmission and distribution systems. It is often difficult to draw a line between the
transmission and distribution systems of a large power system. It is impossible to distinguish the
two merely by their voltage because what was considered as a high voltage a few years ago is
now considered as a low voltage.
In general, distribution system is that part of power system which distributes power to the
consumers for utilization. Or is part of power system which distributes electric Power for local
use. The distribution system is the electrical system between the sub-station fed by the
Transmission system and the consumers‟ meters. It generally consists of;
 feeders,
 distributors
 Service mains.

2.1.1 Feeders
A feeder is a conductor which connects the sub-station (or localized generating station) to the
area where power is to be distributed. Generally, no tapings are taken from the feeder so that
current in it remains the same throughout. The main consideration in the design of a feeder is the
current carrying capacity.

2.1.2 Distributor
A distributor is a conductor from which tapings are taken for supply to the consumers. The
current through a distributor is not constant because tapings are taken at various places along its
length. While designing a distributor, voltage drop along its length is the main consideration
since the statutory limit of voltage variations is ± 6% of rated value at the consumers‟ terminals.

2.1.3 Service mains


A service main is generally a small cable which connects the distributor to the consumers‟
terminals. Fig.2.1 shows the single line diagram of a typical low tension distribution system.

Figure 2 Distribution system conductors.

2.2 Classification of Distribution Systems

A distribution system may be classified according to;


i) Nature of current as;
 d.c. distribution system
 a.c. distribution system.
ii) Type of construction as;
 Overhead system
 Underground system.
iii) Scheme of connection as;
 Radial system
 Ring main system
 Inter-connected system.

2.3 A.C. Distribution

Now-a-days electrical energy is generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating
current.

5 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

One important reason for the widespread use of alternating current in preference to direct current
is the fact that alternating voltage can be conveniently changed in magnitude by means of a
transformer. Transformer has made it possible to transmit a.c. power at high voltage and utilize it
at a safe potential. High transmission and distribution voltages have greatly reduced the current
in the conductors and the resulting line losses.
In general, the a.c. distribution system is the electrical system between the step down substation
fed by the transmission system and the consumers‟ meters. The a.c. distribution system is
classified into:
 primary distribution system and
 Secondary distribution system.

2.3.1 Primary distribution system


It is that part of a.c. distribution system which operates at voltages somewhat higher than general
utilization and handles large blocks of electrical energy than the average low-voltage consumer
uses. The voltage used for primary distribution depends upon the amount of power to be
conveyed and the distance of the substation required to be fed. Due to economic considerations,
primary distribution is carried out by 3-phase, 3-wire system.

Figure 3 primary distribution.

6 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

Fig3 shows a typical primary distribution system. Electric power from the generating station is
transmitted at high voltage to the substation located in or near the city. At this substation, voltage
is stepped down to 15 kV with the help of step-down transformer. Power is supplied to various
substations for distribution or to big consumers at this voltage. This forms the high voltage
distribution or primary distribution.

2.3.2 Secondary distribution system


It is that part of a.c. distribution system which includes the range of voltages at which the
ultimate consumer utilizes the electrical energy delivered to him. The secondary distribution
employs 380/220 V, 3-phase, 4-wire system.
Fig.3 shows a typical secondary distribution system.

Figure 4 Secondary distribution.


The primary distribution circuit delivers power to various substations, called distribution
substations. The substations are situated near the consumers‟ localities and contain step down
transformers. At each distribution substation, the voltage is stepped down to 380 V and power is
delivered by 3-phase, 4-wire a.c. system. The single phase domestic loads are connected between
any one phase and the neutral, whereas 3-phase 380 V motor loads are connected across 3- phase
lines directly.

2.4 Connection Schemes of Distribution System

All distribution of electrical energy is done by constant voltage system. In practice, the following
distribution circuits are generally used:

2.4.1Radial System
In this system, separate feeders radiate from a single substation and feed the distributors at one
end only. The radial system is employed only when power is generated at low voltage and the
substation is located at the center of the load.

Figure 5 Radial configuration


2.4.2 Ring Main System
In this system, the primaries of distribution transformers form a loop. The loop circuit starts from
the substation bus-bars, makes a loop through the area to be served, and returns to the substation.

2.4.3 Interconnected system


When the feeder ring is energized by two or more than two generating stations or substations, it
is called inter-connected system.

June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

2.5 VOLTAGE DROP AND POWER LOSS IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

2.5.1 VOLTAGE
Simply put, think of voltage as electrical pressure or pressure differential. The difference in
pressure that makes any hydraulic pump work is virtually is the same for electrons. The pressure
differential provided by the positive and negative terminals of the battery causes the electrons in
the conductor to move when the two terminals are connected together. This movement or flow of
electrons is used to perform useful work. Whenever work is done, pressure is used up. We can
measure where work is done in an electrical circuit by measuring where voltage is used up.
When working on electrical problems, there are two different methods of voltage measurements;
the open circuit voltage or voltage drop.
 Open circuit voltage is measured when there is no current flow through the circuit.
 Voltage drop is measured is dynamically while there is current flow through the circuit.

2.5.2 VOLTAGE DROP


When current passes through any component, voltage is used up. This voltage is called voltage
drop Δv. The voltage drop of a component is directly proportional to the resistance of the
component. The greater the resistance the greater the voltage drop.

2.6 VOLTAGE DROP EFFECTS

2.6.1 Voltage Drop in Distribution Systems


The resistance (DC) or impedance (AC) of conductors may cause a substantial difference
between voltage at service equipment and voltage at the point-of-utilization equipment. Under
voltage can result in inefficient operation of heating, lighting, and motor loads. Excessive voltage
drop impairs the starting and the operation of electrical equipment.
An applied voltage of 10% below rating can result in a decrease in efficiency of substantially
more than 10%. For example: Fluorescent light output would be reduced by 15%, and
incandescent light output would be reduced by 30%. Induction motors would run hotter and
produce less torque. With an applied voltage of 10% below rating, the running current would
increase 11%, the operating temperature would increase by 12%, and torque would be reduced
by 19%. The reduced output torque may cause the motor‟s speed to decrease, further increasing
the current/temperature effects in the motor.

2.7 LOSSES IN POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

2.7.1 Losses in Distribution Lines


One of the major sources of losses in the distribution system is the power lines which connect the
substation to the loads. Virtually all real power that is lost in the distribution system is due to
copper losses. Since these losses are a function of the square of the current flow through the line,
it should be obvious that the losses in distribution lines are larger at high power levels than they
are at lower levels.
Since power loss in the distribution lines can be considered to be entirely due to copper losses, it
can be calculated using the Equation;
P=I2R …………………………………………………………….2.1
From this, it is apparent that anything that changes either current or line resistance will affect the
amount of power lost in the line.
The primary determining factor for the magnitude of line current is the amount of real and
reactive power loading at the end of the line. As the power that is transmitted along the line
increases, the current flow in the line becomes larger. Another factor which affects the level of
current flow is the operating voltage of the line. For a given real and reactive power load level, S

a high voltage line will have a lower current than a low voltage line. This can be seen from
Equation 2.
S=VI ………………………………………………………..2.2
Therefore, for a given power level, the higher voltage line will have lower copper losses.
Another factor which can result in higher line losses is unbalanced loading. If one of the phases
is loaded more heavily than the others, the loss will be larger than it would have been in the
balanced load case. This is due to the squaring of the current in Equation 1. For instance, if one
line carries twice the current of the other two and all other factors are kept constant, an increase
in copper loss of 12.5% occurs compared to the balanced load case.
While the current level has the biggest effect on line loss, the resistance of the line cannot be
neglected. The line resistance depends on many factors, including the length of the line, the
effective cross-sectional area, and the resistivity of the metal of which the line is made. The
resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area and directly proportional to both

10 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

the length and resistivity. This is shown in Equation 111.3 below, where R is the resistance, p is
the resistivity, L is the length of the line, and A is the effective cross-sectional area.

…………………………………………………………2.3

Therefore, a long line will have a higher resistance and larger losses than a short line with the
same current flow. Similarly, a large conductor size results in a smaller resistance and lower
losses than a small conductor.
The resistivity is determined by the material of which the line is constructed and the temperature
of the material. A better conducting material will result in lower resistivity and lower losses. The
resistivity of the metal in the line will be affected by the temperature. As the temperature of the
metal increases, the line resistance will also increase, causing higher copper losses in the
distribution line.

……………………………………………………2.4
The letter rho, p, is the resistivity at a specific temperature. It is equal to
2.83 x 10-8 ohm meters for aluminum and 1.77 x10 -8
ohm meters for copper at a temperature of
20°C. To is a reference temperature and is equal to 228°C for aluminum and 241°C for copper.
P1 and p2 are the resistivity at temperatures T1 and T2 respectively.

2.7.2 Losses in Distribution Transformers


While losses in distribution lines are virtually all due to copper losses, transformer losses occur
due to both copper and core losses. The core losses are made up of eddy current and hysteresis
losses. The copper losses in transformers are essentially the same as those in the power
distribution lines.
The copper losses in a transformer are smaller in magnitude than the core losses. These losses
occur in the form of heat produced by the current, both primary and secondary, through the
windings of the transformer. Like the copper loss in the distribution line, it is calculated using the
I2R relationship of Equation1. Any factor which affects either current or winding resistance will
also affect the amount of copper loss in the transformer.

11 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

An increase in loading, either real or reactive, will result in an increase in current flow and a
correspondingly greater amount of loss in the transformer.
Additionally, an unbalanced system load will increase transformer loss due to the squared current
relationship. The winding resistance also has an effect on the amount of copper loss and is
mainly determined by the total length of the wire used, as well as the size of the wire. The
temperature of the winding will affect the resistivity of the wire, therefore affecting the overall
resistance and the copper loss. Since all but the smallest distribution transformers have some
type of cooling system, such as immersion in oil, the temperature effect on losses is usually
minimal.
The core loss in a transformer is usually larger in magnitude than the copper loss. It is made up
of eddy current losses, which are due to magnetically induced currents in the core, and hysteresis
losses, which occur because of the less than perfect permeability of the core material. These
losses are relatively constant for an energized transformer and can be considered to be
independent of the transformer load. Transformer core losses have been modeled in various
ways, usually as a resistance in parallel with the transformer's magnetizing reactance.
Since the core loss is relatively independent of loading, the most important factor when
considering core loss is the manufacture of the core. The physical construction of the core has

12 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

serious consequences on the amount of core loss occurring in the transformer. For instance, eddy
currents are greatly reduced by using laminated pieces to construct the core. These thin sheets are
oriented along the path of travel of the magnetic flux and restrict the amount of induced currents
that occur.
The hysteresis loss occurs in the transformer core due to the energy required to provide the
magnetic field in the core as the direction of magnetic flux alternates with the alternating current
wave form. This energy is transformed into heat. Hysteresis loss can be reduced by the use of
higher quality materials in the core which have better magnetic permeability. Many advanced
core materials have been developed recently with claims of core loss reductions in the range of
50 % and above.
A final aspect of the distribution system that increases losses in the transformers is the presence
of harmonics in the system. The harmonic currents only cause a small increase in copper losses
throughout the system. However, the high frequency harmonic voltages can cause large core
losses in the transformer.
Frequently, utilities are forced to use an oversized transformer to compensate when a large
harmonic presence is indicated. The increased skin effect of larger conductors combined with the
high frequency harmonics can result in even greater losses.

2.8 Methods of Lowering Distribution System Losses

Since distribution losses cost the utilities a sizable amount of profit, it is necessary to examine
the various methods of reducing these losses. While many ways of lowering losses can be used
on existing systems, other methods are easiest to use during the initial design and installation of a
new distribution system. an example of one of these methods is to carefully select .the location of
the substation so as to minimize the needed length of distribution lines. Another way is to use as
high as voltage as is practical for the lines to limit the current in the lines and transformer
windings. Also, the higher resistivity of aluminum means it will have larger losses than an
equivalent copper distribution line.
Therefore, copper should be used on lines where losses are abnormally high.
Other methods, such as high efficiency transformers and shunt capacitor banks, may be easier to
install during initial construction than they would be on an existing system.

13 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

High efficiency transformers, which use new core types, are beginning to see widespread use in
the United States. One example of a more efficient core is one that uses amorphous metal.
Amorphous metal is formed by rapidly cooling liquid metal. Approximately 60,000 to 70,000
amorphous metal transformers are currently in use, mostly in the United States. While
amorphous metal transformers cost 25 to 50% more than silicon iron transformers, they also
claim60 to 70% less losses. Therefore, utilities with high energy costs or those facing new plant
construction would do well to consider them.
Perhaps the most common method of reducing system losses is the use of shunt capacitor banks.
Capacitors are used to compensate for reactive loads in order to provide a highly resistive total
load and a near unity power factor.
Hence there is less current flow in the line and lower losses. The capacitors are strategically
placed to provide the best voltage support and current reduction. In one case, the use of shunt
capacitors reduced distribution system losses by approximately 20 %. However, care must be
used when choosing the placement of the capacitor banks. In the above example, the loss
reduction was calculated to be less than 5% when the capacitors were equally distributed
throughout the system.
Another method of lowering system losses is by reducing the amount of harmonics present in the
system. This can be accomplished by placing filters at each load that produces major non
sinusoidal signals. However, these filters cost money and have inherent losses due to the
imperfect nature of the components which limit the loss reduction that is achieved.
Utilities may also reduce losses that occur in the distribution system by ensuring that the load is
well balanced on all three phases. This will keep the copper losses in the lines and transformers
to a minimum.
A final method of reducing distribution system losses is demand-side management (DSM). With
DSM, a utility reduces the system loading, especially at peak periods, by turning off certain loads
or providing incentives for efficiency. Overall load is reduced by encouraging improved
efficiency by consumers with such things as rebates for high efficiency motors, refrigerators, and
lighting. Peak load can be reduced by direct load control of such items as air conditioners, hot
water heaters, and some industrial loads. DSM has an added benefit in loss reduction because the
primary load reduction occurs at peak loading when system copper losses are greatest.

CHAPTER THREE

METHODELOGY

3.1 Calculation of inductance

General assumptions made for calculating inductance of transmission lines are:


 The cross section of transmission line is uniform
 The current and charge densities are uniform over the entire length of conductors
 The conductivity, permittivity and permeability over the entire length of conductors are
constant

Figure 6 Triangular configuration of transmission lines


A three-phase transmission lines is shown in Fig. 1(c). The arrangement consists of three
conductors of phases a, b and c, each having a radius r and separated by a distance Dab, Dac and
Dbc between each of them.
The inductance, L, per phase per unit length is defined as

…………………………………….3.1
But Dab = Dbc = Dac = 1m
Therefore L = 2x10-7ln [1.284/r] Ω/m

3.2 Inductive reactance

15 | MEKELLE UNIVERSITY
June 20, 2013 [DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ETAP MODELING]

When the current flowing through an inductor continuously reverses itself, as in the case of an ac
source, the inertia effect of the emf is greater than with dc. The greater the amount of inductance
(L), the greater the opposition from this inertia effect. Also, the faster the reversal of current, the
greater this inertial opposition. This opposing force which an inductor presents to the flow of
alternating current cannot be called resistance, since it is not the result of friction within a
conductor. The name given to it is inductive reactance because it is the "reaction" of the inductor
to the changing value of alternating current. Inductive reactance is measured in ohms and its
symbol is XL.
As you know, the induced voltage in a conductor is proportional to the rate at which magnetic
lines of force cut the conductor. The greater the rate (the higher the frequency), the greater the
emf. Also, the induced voltage increases with an increase in inductance; the more ampere-turns,
the greater the emf. Reactance, then, increases with an increase of frequency and with an
increase of inductance. The formula for inductive reactance is as follows:

XL=2πfL …………………………………………………3.2

Where, XL is indactive reactance in ohom

f is frequency of the alternating current in Hz

Lis inductance in Henery

3.3 Calculation of Resistance

As the type conductor in the distribution system is of aluminum type, the resistivity, ρ, of the
conductor is obtained from standard table.
Now having the length of each conductor from the ETAP model and the resistivity, the resistance
the conductor per phase is given by;

Where;
R = resistance of conductor;
ρ = resistivity
l = length of conductor

 Low resistance components like fuses, switches, wires and connectors should have very low
Δv. As a general rule the maximum Δv allowed for these components is less than 0.1 per
component or connector.
 Higher resistance components are usually referred to as loads. Loads use their resistance to
convert into work (light, heat, motion).this conversion causes voltage drop as the electrical
pressure is used up. In any electrical circuit, all the voltage will always be used up. Adding
up all the voltage drops in a circuit will always equal source voltage.

3.4 Voltage Drop Calculation in distribution system

A distribution feeder provides service to unbalanced three-phase, two-phase, and single-phase


loads over untransposed three-phase, two-phase, and single phase line segments. This
combination leads to three-phase line currents and line voltages being unbalanced. In order to
analyze these conditions as precisely as possible, it will be necessary to model all three phases of
the feeder accurately, however, many times only a “ballpark” answer is needed. When this is the
case, some approximate methods of modeling and analysis can be employed. It is the purpose of
this chapter to develop some of the approximate methods and leave for later chapters the exact
models and analysis. All of the approximate methods of modeling and analysis will assume
perfectly balanced three-phase systems. With these assumptions, a single line-to-neutral
equivalent circuit for the feeder will be used. A line-to-neutral equivalent circuit of a three-phase
line segment serving a balanced three-phase load is shown in the Figure below. Kirchhoff‟s
voltage law applied to the circuit.

The phasor diagram for the above equation is shown below. The phasor for the voltage drop
through the line resistance (RI) is shown in phase with the current phasor, and the phasor for the
voltage drop through the reactance is shown leading the current phasor by 90 degrees. The
dashed lines represent the real and imaginary parts of the impedance (ZI) drop. The voltage drop
down the line is defined as the difference between the magnitudes
of the source and the load voltages.

suite of fully integrated Electrical Engineering software solutions including; Arc flash, load flow,
short circuit, transient stability, relay coordination, cable ampacity, optimal power flow and
more. Its modular functionality can be customized to fit the needs of any company, from small to
large power systems.
ETAP is chosen as the simulation tool, which is developed by OTI, a comprehensive analysis
platform for the design, simulation, and operation of generation, transmission, distribution, and
industrial power systems. It supplies calculations for load flow, short circuit, transient stability,
etc. it is the most comprehensive analysis software for the design, simulation, operation,
monitoring, control, optimization, and automation of power systems. ETAP is the industry leader
used worldwide in all types and sizes of power systems, including generation, transmission,
distribution, and industrial systems.

3.6.2 Methodology Used To Design


Our process starts from collection of data from an AutoCAD model of the system from which we
proceed through the following steps.

3.6.3 Information Obtained From AutoCAD


The AutoCAD model of the distribution system shows the topographical display of the feeders
which include;

 The position of the station and distribution transformers


 The cross section area , type and length of the cable or conductor
 The orientation of distribution lines and cover area of each feeder
From the AutoCAD model have taken the type and length of the conductor, the number of
distribution transformer in each feeder and developed buses where two or more electrical
components interconnected.

3.6.4 Feeder impedance calculation


All the conductors connecting two consecutive buses are less than 50km in length. Therefore a
short transmission line model is applied to calculate their respective impedance values. A short
transmission line is modeled by its series resistance and reactance values as shown in the figure
below

Figure 11 feeder impedance modeling


For the above line model the resistance and inductive reactance are found as;

R= ρl ⁄A

XL=2πfL

Where, XL is indactive reactance in ohom

f is frequency of the alternating current in Hz

Lis inductance in Henery

R= Resistance

ρ = Resistivity of aluminum conductor is 0.0265 ohm meter

A = cross section area

r = radius of conductor

D = separation phase conductors =1m

3.6.5 Power system component data


A) Letters or words used to represent components:
B = general bus

b = transformer bus

L = load bus (where a load is connected to transformer)

T = three phase two winding transformer

U = utility supply

Line = line connecting two buses

Load = static load connecting to transformers

B) component nomenclature
Most components are named by preceding their feeder code followed by their letter
representation and their sequence number. The transformers naming are taken from the systems
AutoCAD model. E.g. ko4-T084 represents the 84th transformer on KO4.

C) component rating:
Most numerical data (rating) of the components are taken from their nameplate data tagged on
them. Accordingly, the following data are obtained for each of respective component.

 Utility data - voltage, power& Isc


 Three winding transformer
 General bus - rated voltage
 Two winding transformer
 Static load (2/3 of transformer rating)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

After switching the one line model of the feeders from the edit mode into the load analysis (run)
mode and running it, three quantities are displayed on the one line model colored with red. These
are the active power, reactive power, and percentage of bus voltage leaving the bus bar. These
quantities indicate for the bus bar to which they are near to. From this it is easy to calculate the
power loss and voltage drop of the component between any two buses.
However, the branch drop and loss values are given in tabulated form that the behavior of their
variation can be easily observed.

CHAPTER FIVE

5.1 CONCLUSION

As we could observe from the result, the percentages of power loss and voltage drop through the
lines and transformers lie within the acceptable limit.
In addition the variation of these values for a single component has a direct relationship, i.e. a
line with high power loss has higher voltage drop. This is due to the presence of the common
terms in the analyzing formula, the current (I) and impedance (Z).
Our analysis also showed losses higher than the acceptable limit for some lines. This could
happen due to the higher length of the lines.

5.2 RECOMENDATION

Our result showed that the loss of line 86 of feeder KO4 passed the acceptable limit of loss and
drop. The reason for this was that the length of the line is high (above 11Km) that this
contributed for the high loss. Hence we recommend here that a suitable power loss minimizing
mechanism like using a capacitor bank should be used for such case. This is because minimizing
the power loss parallelly reduces the voltage drop.
