Per Unit System
“In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the
expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. In a large
interconnected power system with various voltage levels and various capacity
equipments, it has been found quite convenient to work with per unit (p.u) system of
quantities for analysis purpose rather than in absolute values of quantities.
“The per unit quantity is defined Actual value of the quantity
as: Per unit quantity
Base value of that quantity
“To completely define a per unit system, minimum four base quantities are required.
Let us define: Actual Curent

Apparent Power (S),,, = Actual ApparentPower__
« " Base Apparent Power (S,)"Base Quantities
“The selection of base quantities is also very important. Some of base quantities are
chosen independently and arbitrarily while others automatically follow depending upon
the fundamental relationships between system variables.
+The rating of the equipments in a power system are given in terms of operating
voltage and the capacity in AVA. Hence, universal practice is to use machine rating
power (kVA) and voltage as base quantities and the base values of current and
impedance are calculated from both of them.
in electrical engineering, the three basic quantities are voltage, current and
impedance. If we choose any two of them as the base or reference quantity, the third
one automatically will have a base or reference value depending upon the other two.
E.g. if V and [are the base voltage and current in a system, the base impedance of the
system is fixed and is given by:
Base impedaiBase Quantities
This means that the per unit impedance is directly proportional to the base kVA and
inversely proportional to the square of base voltage.
“When all the quantities are converted in per unit values, the different voltage levels
disappear and power network involving synchronous generators, transformers and line
reduces to a system of simple impedances.Base Quantities
“When the problems to be solved are more complex, and particularly when transformers are
involved, the advantages of calculations in per unit are more apparent.
+A well chosen per unit system can reduce the computational effort, simplify evaluation and
facilitate the understanding of system characteristics.Importance of Per Unit System
For an engineer, it is quite easy to remember the per unit values for all quantities
rather than to remember actual values of all quantities.
“Look at the Table and realize per unit system is easy to remember or actual value
system.

t can be observed that only for voltage at different levels, it is quite difficult to
remember all these limits. However, on the other hand, per unit is easy to remember.
Now, imagine the level of difficulty if an engineer has to remember values for current,
power too.
“Furthermore, it is quite difficult to find the error in the actual values as compared to
per unit system. For example, if voltage crosses 0.9 limit, it can be easily understood
that voltage has crossed its safe limit, but in actual voltage values, it is difficult to know
whether voltage has crossed the safe limit.
he per unit representation of the impedance of an equipment is more meaningful
than its absolute value.Effect of 1-@ and 3-@ on Per Unit System
“The per unit system has the advantage that it equations remains same for single phase
as well as three phase system. E.g. in single phase, we have the formula for Zyaye 48:
“Now, for three phase, voltage and current are
given by:
Vn VgxV3 V5 V7 base
aby BN LTB
3. OS, Ss, S,
Base
“Hence, it can be seen that per unit system has no effect of single phase and three phase system.Advantages of Per unit System
+The per-unit system was originally developed to simplify laborious hand calculations
and while it is now not always necessary (due to the widespread use of computers), the
per-unit system does still offer some distinct advantages over standard SI values:
“+The per unit values of impedance, voltage, and current of a transformer are the same
regardless of whether they are referred to the primary or the secondary side. This is a
great advantage since the different voltage levels disappear and the entire system
reduces to a system of simple impedance. This can be a pronounced advantage in power
system analysis where large numbers of transformers may be encountered.
“Moreover, similar types of apparatus will have the impedances lying within a narrow
numerical range when expressed as a per-unit fraction of the equipment rating, even if
the unit size varies widely.
“Similar apparatus (generators, transformers, lines) will have similar per-unit
impedances and losses expressed on their own rating, regardless of their absolute size.
Because of this, per-unit data can be checked rapidly for gross errors. A per unit value
out of normal range is worth looking into for potential errors.Advantages of Per unit System
Manufacturers usually specify the impedance of apparatus in per unit values.
By normalizing quantities to a common base, both hand and automatic calculations
are simplified. It improves numerical stability of automatic calculation methods.
“The per unit value of the resistance of a machine furnishes almost at a glance its
electrical losses in the percent of its rated power. For example, a transformer operating
under rated conditions at unity power factor with a winding resistance of 0.01 per unit
has a copper loss of 1%.
PR= (1.0)? x0.01=0.01 pu =0.01x100=1%
hhis information is very useful to a power system engineer because he can estimate
and locate the quantity of the various copper losses simply by looking at the one line
per unit impedance diagram.
“Per unit parameters simplify the simulation of simple or complex power system
problems on computers. Such simulations are important for transient and steady state
analyses.Advantages of Per unit System
the per unit system simplifies the analysis of problems that include star delta types of
winding connections. The factor of V3 is not used for the per unit analysis. For
example, consider the expression for the power: P=VI
=VI cos@
When the voltage and the current are expressed in per unit, this relationship gives the
total power in per unit, regardless of a delta or star winding connection.
the per unit values of the impedance of a single or simple multi-component power
system readily provide the short circuit current at different points on the network. For
example a transformer with a per unit impedance of 5% would result (without taking
into consideration the motor’s short circuit current contribution) in a short circuit
current of Ic of:
1
T..=— =— =20pu
7905 2Advantages of Per unit System
‘er-unit impedance values of equipment are normally found over a small range of
values irrespective of the absolute size. On the other hand, ohmic values may have
significant variation and are often proportional to nominal rating.
The ohmic value of impedances as referred to secondary is different from the value as
referred to primary. However, if base values are selected properly, the p.u. impedance is
the same on the two sides of the transformers. i.c., Star or Delta.Changing the Base of Per unit Quantities
“Some times the per unit impedance of a component of a system is expressed on a base
other than the one selected as base for the part of the system in which the component is
located.
“Since all impedances in any part of a system must be expressed on the same
impedance base when making computations, it is necessary to have a means of
converting per unit impedances from one base to another.
