1. Problem Definition:
A 230 MW thermal power plant is to be established, having three units: 1×110MW
and 2×60 MW. The generation is at 11 kV and machine is of 0.85 pf. The nearest 220
kV grid substation is about 100 km away, connected by a double circuit transmission
line. Grid substation is connected to another substation feeding industrial load of 50
MW at 0.9 pf by transmission line having distance of 50 km. The 220/132 kV grid
substation has 2×100 MVA transformers with peak load of 50 MW at 0.9 pf on 132
kV side. The existing fault level at the grid substation is 5000 MVA. Design the
suitable scheme.

Step 1:

Develop the single line diagram of the proposed scheme showing the interconnection
of the plant with the grid substation. Mark all the vital data on the single line diagram.

Fill the values:

 MVA rating of the plant (Three machines M1, M2, M3):

 Auxiliary power consumption (usually 10% of the rating) in MW:

 Reactive power of auxiliary load at 0.9 pf in MVAR:

 Generator transformer rating (same as generator MVA rating) in MVA:

Note: Line and Transformer data

 Generator transformer: Z = 12% on own rating, X/R = 20, YNd11, 220/11 kV,
X/R = 20, ±5% tap, 9 taps, OFTC.

 Power transformer: Z = 10% on own rating, X/R = 20, YNyn0, 220/132 kV,
X/R = 20, +5%/-15% tap, 17 taps, OLTC.

 220 kV Zebra conductor transmission line: Select standard parameter from

MiP-PSCT library. Refer annexure.

2. Load Flow Analysis:

The plant is scheduled to generate about 90% of its rated power. Perform the load
flow and list the following:
 Reactive power generation:-
 Total active power loss in the 100 km double circuit transmission line:
 The real and reactive power export to grid:

Use fast decoupled load flow, slack bus concept, convergence tolerance as 0.001 and
15 number of iterations.
Reactive power control:
We will find that the system will be exporting active power while importing reactive
power from the main grid at 220 kV substation. What are the ways by which you can
minimize the reactive power drawl from the grid?
 Action 1: Reactive power drawn in MVAR –
 Action 2: Reactive power drawn in MVAR –
 Combined action: Reactive power drawn in MVAR –

3. Fault Study:
 If three phase dead short circuit occurs at the power plant 220 kV bus, what is
the fault current?
 What is the voltage at the generator terminal and the far end grid bus for the
fault at power plant 220 kV bus?
Results:
 Three phase fault current:
 Post Fault Generator bus voltage :
 Post Fault Grid bus voltage:
