THEORY
Power in an AC Circuit

Reactive power in inductive loads


Reactive power (Q) is a term for the imaginary (non-real) power from inductive loads
like motor or capacitive loads (less common). It is generally measured in units of VARs
(volt-amps reactive)
Inductive loads such as chokes, motors, inductive heating equipment, generators,
transformers, and arc welding equipment produce an electrical lag that is commonly
referred to as inductance. This inductance causes a phase difference between current and
voltage which cause low pf

Causes Of Low Power Factor

Inductive Loads
 90% of the industrial load consists of Induction Machines (1-ϕ and 3-ϕ). Such
machines draw magnetizing current to produce the magnetic field and hence work
at low power factor.
 For Induction motors, the pf is usually extremely low (0.2 - 0.3) at light loading
conditions and it is 0.8 to 0.9 at full load.
 The current drawn by inductive loads is lagging and results in low pf.
 Other inductive machines such as transformers, generators, arc lamps, electric
furnaces etc work at low pf too.

Variations In Power System Loading


 Today we have interconnected power systems. According to different seasons and
time, the loading conditions of the power system vary. There are peak as well as
low load periods.
 When the system is loaded lightly, the voltage increases and the current drawn by
the machines also increases. This results in low power factor.

Toc H Institute of Science & Technology EEE Department


EEL332 Power Systems Lab Manual
Harmonic Currents
 The presence of harmonic currents in the system also reduces the power factor.
 In some cases, due to improper wiring or electrical accidents, a condition known as
3-ϕ power imbalance occurs. This results in low power factor too.

Power Factor Correction


Low power factor is mainly due to lagging currents drawn by inductive loads.

 For pure inductance, current lags behind voltage by 90°.


 For pure capacitance, current leads voltage by 90°.
 If we use capacitors to draw leading current, we can cancel the effects of lagging
inductive current and hence improve the power factor.

Capacitor-based power factor correction circuits


There are various methods of improving the power factor of a load or an installation.
One of the commonly used methods involves adding power factor correction capacitors
to the network. Figure shows a simple circuit consisting of an AC source and an
inductive load.

. The R and L are present in all inductive equipments and the C is used for pf
improvement.
Here, IL = current drawn by the circuit capacitor C isn't used,
ϕL = phase angle between voltage V and load current IL,
IC = capacitive current drawn by C,
I = resultant current when C is used,
ϕ = phase angle between voltage V and net current I.

 As shown in the above phasor diagram, ϕ < ϕL


 Therefore cos ϕ > cos ϕL, hence power factor is improved

EXPERIMENT NO: 7

Plot the IV & PVcharacteristics of a PV module and determine Maximum


Power Point.
AIM

To plot the V-I Characteristics of the solar cell and hence determine the maximum power point
and fill factor

THEORY:

The solar cell is a semi conductor device, which converts the solar energy into electrical energy.
It is also called a photovoltaic cell. A solar panel consists of numbers of solar cells connected in
series or parallel. The number of solar cell connected in a series generates the desired output
voltage and connected in parallel generates the desired output current. The conversion of
sunlight
(Solar Energy) into electric energy takes place only when the light is falling on the cells of the
solar panel. Therefore in most practical applications, the solar panels are used to charge the lead
acid or Nickel-Cadmium batteries. In the sunlight, the solar panel charges the battery and also
supplies the power to the load directly. When there is no sunlight, the charged battery supplies
the required power to the load

IV Curve

The IV curve of a solar cell is the superposition of the IV curve of the solar cell diode in
the dark with the light-generated current.1 The light has the effect of shifting the IV
curve down into the fourth quadrant where power can be extracted from the diode.
Illuminating a cell adds to the normal "dark" currents in the diode so that the diode law
becomes:

where IL = light generated current.

Plotting the above equation gives the IV curve.The power curve has a a maximum
denoted as PMP where the solar cell should be operated to give the maximum power
output. It is also denoted as P MAX or maximum power point (MPP) and occurs at a
voltage of VMP and a current of IMP.

FERRANTI EFFECT AND REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION

AIM

To simulate and study Ferranti effect using MATLAB SIMULINK

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Voltage at the sending end of a 3-phase, 50 Hz transmission line is


230kVwith source impedance with resistance 1 Ω, and inductance of 1mH. Line
parameters are R=0.2568 Ω/km, L=2 mH /km, C=8.6X10-9 F/km. Compare the
receiving and sending end currents and voltage

THEORY AND PROCEDURE


FERRANTIEFFECT
A long transmission line/cables draws a substantial quantity of
charging current. If such a line/cable is open circuited or very lightly
loaded at the receiving end, the voltage at receiving end may become
greater than voltage at sending end due to capacitive reactance. This
is known as Ferranti Effect. Both capacitance and inductance is
responsible to produce this effect. The capacitance (which is
responsible for charging current) is negligible in short line
but significant in medium line and appreciable in long line. Hence,
this phenomenon occurs in medium and long lines. The figure shown
below is representing a transmission line by an equivalent pi(π)-
model. The voltage rise is proportional to the square of the line
length.

EARTH RESISTANCE

AIM
To determine the resistance to earth of the given earthing system and design an earthing
system from soil resistivity of the given area.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The principle used in measuring the earth resistance is based on simple Ohm’s law.
a) MEASUREMENT OF EARTH RESISTANCE
To measure the earth resistance with digital earth tester it should be used three terminal
type. For that terminals E1 and P1 are to be shorted and connected to the earth
connection whose resistance has to be found.
Connected as per the Fig.1 and take the reading by pressing the test switch. Note down
the reading displayed on the L.C.D of the instrument.

Toc H Institute of Science & Technology EEE Department


EEL332 Power Systems Lab Manual

b) MEASUREMENT OF EARTH RESISTIVITY


To find out the earth resistivity for preferred positioning and depths of electrical
system four terminal method is to be used. Connect the instrument terminals as per
Fig.2

All the four spikes to be buried in one straight line and distance between them to be
kept same. The value of ‘L’ may be kept between 10m to 20m. Take the reading by
pressing the test switch (taking care of range factor). Observed value is in ohms. Let it be
( Rm). The value of Earth resistivity( ρ) may be obtained from the following formula.
ρ=2πLR ohms cm
Where R= value of Earth Resistance measured in ohms.
L= Distance between spikes incms.
ρ=Earth resistivity in ohms cm.
π=3.14
To avoid error due to the wire resistance first short the wires and note down the
meter reading Let it be (Rw). Then connect the wires to the electrodes as explained
above. This reading minus the reading with the wire shorted will give actual value of
resistance.
So actual R= Rm - Rw .

very common. Such loads have very low power factor. This is not desirable as it increases
the maximum demand (VA drawn by the load) on the power supply source. If the maximum
demand exceeds the permissible limit, the consumer will be penalized by the power distribution
company. So, it is necessary to improve the power factor. To do this, a capacitor is connected in
parallel with the inductive load. To understand how to improve factor by connecting a capacitor
in parallel with the inductive load, we use the circuit shown in Figure 1. When the capacitor is

not connected, from the meter readings, we get

P = V I cos θ1 =⇒ cos θ1 = =⇒ θ 1 = cos−1 VI (1)

From this we can find the reactive power supplied by the source
Q1 = V I sin θ1 (2)

when capacitor is not connected. If the desirable power factor is cos θ2 > cos θ 1, then, the over-
all reactive power supplied by the source corresponding to the new power factor cos θ2 is given
by
Q2 =V I sin(cos−1 θ2) (3)
where Q2 < Q1. Therefore, the reactive power to be supplied by the capacitor to be connected
in parallel with the load, and its reactance are given by

Procedure
1. Realize the circuit shown in Figure 1 by connecting one inductive load
using patch cords on the front panel of the trainer.
2. Switch on power and record all meter readings in Table 1. Calculate the
power factor without capacitor and enter it in the same table.

3. Assume a new power factor value which is greater than the value found in
the previous step. For this new desirable power factor calculate the capacitor
to be connected in parallel using Eqs. (3) to (5).

4. Connect the capacitor of value calculated above in parallel with the


inductive load connected in Step 1 and determine the new power factor by
taking the meter readings. Desired capacitor value may have to be realized
by series-parallel combinations of capacitors provided in the trainer module.
5. Repeat the above mentioned steps for different inductive loads.

EXPERIMENT NO. 11
OVER CURRENT RELAY
AIM
This trainer kit consists of three parts-Current source, Relay and Timer
a) Current source
This part consists of 0-20A AC current source with Digital AC Ammeter.
Variable current output terminals are provided on the front panel. The 230V single
phase AC is applied to the autotransformer through the Mains ON switch.The
secondary of the autotransformer is connected to the primary of the stepdown
transformer. The 3.5V/ 20A secondary of this step down transformer is connected to
the series circuit consisting of a 20A Digital panel ammeter and a front panel
mounted Selector switch.
b). Relay
This part consists of PROK DEVICES make 1 phase Numerical / Microprocessor
based over current relay. Relay inputs and Trip outputs are terminated on the front
panel. Current Transformer of 4A/1A are connected to the Relay input.
c). Timer
A 4 digit Timer with a resolution of 0.001 sec is connected to one set of normally
open contact of the Relay under test. Another set of normally open contact is
connected to the Trip indicator. After setting the required test current with the
Selector switch in the Set position , this switch is put to the Start position. This
causes the set current to flow through the CT input of the Relay under test and
simultaneously the Timer is started as indicated by the relay ON indicator. At the
end of the preset time , Relay under test closes it’s NO contacts connected to the
Timer and the Trip indicator . The Timer stops and the Trip indicator glows.
PROCEDURE
1. Set the output current source setting control to minimum position.
2. Switch On the aux. power supply of the Kit . Remove Relay front cover.
3. Put the selector switch to OFF position. In this position the Relay
parameters can be set.
4. Set the required trip time(TM), trip characteristics (MODE) and set over
current (PM) values on the relay. Refer relay manual for setting the
parameters.
5. Connect the OUTPUT current terminals to CT input terminals and CT
output terminals are internally connected to Relay input terminals. Connect
Trip input terminals to Trip output terminals of the Relay.

6. Set the load current above the set over load current by varying the
autotransformer. Ammeter current is 4 times the relay input current, because
of 4A/1ACT. Relay shows the current ¼ of Ammeter current and this
current is the fault current.

7. Put the Selector switch to OFF position.

8. Put the selector switch to START position. The Relay ON indicator glows.
Timer starts counting . DEF/IDMT LED on the relay starts blinking
depending on which mode we have selected .DEF Led blinks if DEF is
selected . IDMT LED blinks if NI, NI-1.3 or L Time is selected.

9. Relay will Trip after the set time, since the current is more than the set over
current and trip indicator glows and current source also trips. DEF/IDMT
LED on the relay stops blinking . Timer stops. Note down the current and
time.

10. Repeat the above for different TMS and note down the time and current.

11. Repeat the same for different PMS- different set current-Is

12. Repeat the same for different trip time characteristics.
