POWER SCENARIO IN INDIA

Today’s power system network in India is very huge in terms of Installed

capacity, Energy generated, Transmission and Distribution system, Number of
customers and Total investment. As on May, 2018, installed capacity in India
exceeds 344 x 103 MW with annual energy generated exceeding 1361 Billion
kWh (1361 x 1012 kWh). Transmission network has AC transmission lines rated
for 220 kV, 400 kV and 765 kV along with HVDC lines rated for ± 500 kV and
± 800 kV. Operation and control of interconnected power system is really
challenging task and it cannot be done manually. Therefore power systems are
controlled by using powerful computers installed at Energy Control Centers.

Levels of power system operation

The total power system in India is not being operated in totally integrated
manner. However, attempts are being made to achieve full integration.

National Load Dispatching Center, having headquarters at New Delhi, is the

coordinating agency.

Power system shall operate under normal, faulty and transient conditions. In
order to have effective control of large power system, system status need be
known. For this purpose, the following basic power system analysis problems
are to be investigated.

1. Power Flow Analysis

2. Short circuit analysis

3. Transient stability analysis.

To conduct the above studies, mathematical model of the power system is to

be arrived at considering the various power system components.

POWER SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND THEIR REPRESENTATION

Major components in power system that are to be modelled for different power
system problems are:

1. Synchronous generators
2. Transmission lines
3. Transformers

4. Loads
11
Synchronous generator
Synchronous generator is a device which converts mechanical energy to
electrical energy. The required mechanical energy is supplied by a prime
mover which usually a steam or hydraulic turbine. The stator and rotor are the
two principal parts of a synchronous generator.

The stationary part which is essentially a hollow cylinder is called the stator or
armature. It has longitudinal slots in which the coils of armature winding are
placed. This winding carries the current supplied to an electrical load when it
is functioning as an individual generator. The armature winding carries the
current supplied to the system when it is synchronised to the grid.

The rotor of the synchronous generator is mounted on the shaft and rotated
inside the hollow stator. The winding on the rotor is called the field winding
and is supplied with dc current.

12
13
When the armature current is zero, the rotor flux Φf is the only one to be
considered. The flux Φf generates the no-load voltage which we shall
designate as Ef. Thus, Ef is known as NO-LOAD GENERATOR VOLTAGE.

When the generator is loaded and supplying current Ia, the flux Φar due to
armature reaction mmf should also be taken into account. This flux Φar will be
in phase with the current Ia.

The sum of Φf and Φar , is the resultant flux Φr , which generates the voltage E r
in the coil winding composing phase a. The phasor diagram for phase a is
shown in Fig. 1.1. Voltages Ef and Ear lags the fluxes Φf and Φar which generate
them, by 900. The resultant flux Φr is the flux across the air gap of the machine
and generates E r in the stator. Voltage Er lags the flux Φr by 900. Similar phasor
diagram can be drawn for phase b and phase c also.

Fig. 1.1 Phasor diagram for phase a of a synchronous generator

In Fig. 1.1 we note that Ear is lagging Φar and hence Ia by 900. Further, the
magnitude of Ear is determined by Φar which in turn is proportional to Ia.
Inductive reactance Xar is the reactance due to armature reaction effect.

Now we can define the voltage Ear , voltage due to armature reaction effect as

Ear = - j Xar Ia (1.1)

The voltage generated in phase a by the air gap flux is Er . This voltage Er is the
resultant voltage of Ef and Ear . Thus

Er = Ef + Ear = Ef - j Xar Ia (1.2)

15
Er = Ef + Ear = Ef - j Xar Ia (1.2)

The terminal voltage V t will be less than the generated voltage Er by the
voltage drop in the armature winding. Let the armature leakage reactance be
Xℓ. When the armature resistance is neglected, voltage drop = j Xℓ Ia. Then

Vt = Er - j Xℓ Ia (1.3)

Use of Eq. (1.2) in the above results

Vt = [Ef - j Xar Ia] - j Xℓ Ia = Ef – j (Xar + Xℓ) (1.4)

Thus, generator terminal voltage is given by

Vt = Ef – j Xs Ia (1.5)

where X s = Xar + Xℓ. It is called as synchronous reactance. If the resistance of

the armature R a is to be considered, Eq. (1.5) becomes

Vt = Ef – j Xs Ia - Ra Ia = Ef – (Ra + j Xs ) Ia (1.6)

(R a + j Xs ) is known is known as synchronous impedance. Armature resistance

Ra, is usually much smaller than Xs and hence its omission is acceptable.

Fig. 1.2 Equivalent circuit of a synchronous generator

Now we have arrived at a relationship which allows us to represent the

synchronous generator by the simple but very useful equivalent circuit shown
in Fig. 1.2 which corresponds to Eq. (1.2) and Eq. (1.6).

17
Generally modelling of components depends on the study.

The model of ac generator discussed is used for steady state analysis.

While conducting power flow analysis, generators are modelled as equivalent

complex power injection PG + j QG.

While performing short circuit analysis for sub-transient and transient period,
the steady state reactance of the generator will be replaced by sub-transient
reactance or transient reactance of the ac generator.

In the transient stability study, synchronous generator is represented as a

voltage source in series with its transient reactance.

18
Modelling of transmission lines

Transmission lines are represented by a two-port π-model whose parameters

correspond to the positive sequence equivalent circuit of the transmission
lines. A transmission line with a total series impedance of R + j X and total line
charging admittance of j B, will be modelled by the equivalent circuit as shown
B
in Figure 1.3. Here j is known as Half Line Charging Admittance. (HLCA)

Modelling of transformer

Transformer is a static device used to step-up or step-down the voltage level.

Power transformers and distribution transformers are used power system
network.

While arriving the equivalent circuit of a transformer we refer all quantities to

either the primary or the secondary side of the transformer. For instance, if we
refer all voltages, currents and impedances to the primary side, the equivalent
circuit will of the transformer will be as shown in Fig. 1.4 where a is the ratio of
primary rated voltage to secondary rated voltage.

Transformer model

Very often we neglect magnetizing current because it is so small as compared

to the usual load currents. To further simplify the circuit, we let

R1 = r 1 + a 2 r 2 (1.7)

and X1 = x1 + a2 x2 (1.8)

to obtain the equivalent circuit of Fig 1.5. All impedances and voltages in the
part of the circuit connected to the secondary terminals must now be referred
to the primary side.

21
Modelling of loads

Contrary to the synchronous generator which supplies electric power, loads will
absorb real and reactive power. In power flow study, loads are modelled as
equivalent complex power injections namely – (PL + j Q L).

Loads are neglected in short circuit study as the pre-fault currents are very
small compared to fault currents.

In case of transient stability study, loads are included as shunt admittances at

the corresponding buses. Shunt admittance corresponding to load (P L + j QL)
can be obtained as shown.

When VL = |VL|  0 and IL = | IL|  - θ ; Complex power is VL IL*

Load power PL + j QL = VL IL*

= VL ( VL* yL* ) = |VL|2 yL*

yL* = PL  j Q

equivalent circuits. Such a simplified diagram of electric system is called a
one-line diagram. It is also called as single line diagram. The one-line diagram

Fig. 1.9 One-line diagram of a sample power system

This system has two generators, one solidly grounded and the other grounded
through a resistor, that are connected to a bus 1. A transmission line is fed
through a step-up transformer installed at bus 1. A step-down transformer is
connected at the other end of the transmission line. At its low voltage side a
generator, grounded through a reactor, is connected at bus 2. Load A
and load B are connected at buses 1 and 2 respectively.

Generally, on the one-line diagram information about the loads, the ratings of
the generators and transformers, and reactances of different components of
the circuit are often given. (See Example 1.4)

25
In order to calculate the performance of a power system under load condition
or upon the occurrence of a fault, we need single-phase or per phase
equivalent circuit of the system.

Single-phase or per phase equivalent circuit of the power system can be

developed from the one-line diagram.

Need for Per-unit quantities

Power system network is complex one consisting of generation system,

transmission system, distribution system and different types of loads. Each power
plant will have number of generators of different MVA ratings like 5 MVA, 10 MVA,
12 MVA and 20 MVA. Now-a-days the generation voltages have a range of 11 kV to
33 kV. Transmission is carried at voltage levels of 66 kV, 110 kV, 132 kV, 220 kV,
400 kV and 765 kV. Loads of different capacities are spread out throughout the
power system network. Transformers are used to change the voltage levels.
Modelling of transformers will introduce additional complexity because of different
voltage levels at the primary and the secondary sides.

Power system engineers have to handle such a complex electric system while
carrying out studies such as Power Flow Analysis, Short Circuit Study and Stability
Analysis. Assuming a balanced three-phase network, at the first step, single-phase
impedance diagram of the power system network needs to be obtained. Since
power system components have different MVA ratings and different voltage ratings
it is necessary to put them on a common MVA and voltage basis and thus there is
a need for the per-unit system.
29
Absolute values may not give the full significance of quantities. Consider the marks
scored by a student in three subjects as 10, 40 and 75. Many of you may be tempted
to say that he is poor in subject 1, average in subject 2 and good in subject 3. That
is true only when the base for all the marks is 100. If the bases are 10, 50 and 100
for the three subjects respectively then his marks in percentage are 100, 80 and 75.
Now only, we can correctly decide about his performance.

One consumer complained that his supply voltage is 340 V and another said he is
getting supply with 10.45 kV. We cannot immediately say who is more severely
affected. Once we know their base voltages are 400 V and 11 kV, we find that they
are getting 85 % and 95% of the standard voltage and hence the problem of the first
consumer is more severe.

In the above discussion two variables, mark scored and supply voltage are
considered. It is observed that, absolute values specified for a particular variable
on different bases have no meaning. Thus, there is a need to specify common base
quantity for each variable and then go for per-unit quantities.

30
Percentage = actual value x 100

Per-unit quantity = percentage =
100 base value

The variables associated with any power system component are voltage,
current, impedance and apparent power. When they are of large values, we may
use kV, ampere (or kA), ohm and kVA (or MVA) as their units. It is to be noted
that out of these four quantities, voltage, current, impedance and apparent
power, if we specify any two quantities, other two quantities can be calculated.

Generally, for the power system components, base volt-ampere in MVA and
base voltage in kV are specified.

For a single-phase system, knowing the base volt-ampere in MVA and base
voltage in kV, the formulas for base current, base impedance and per unit
impedance are obtained as discussed. Later, those formulas will be extended to
three-phase system.

31
Let us consider a single-phase system with specified base volt-ampere in MVA
and base voltage in kV at any one section.

Now let us consider a three-phase system. For three-phase system, when base
MVA is specified, it is the three-phase MVA and the specified base voltage is
the line-to-line base voltage. Let Base MVA and Base voltage, kV are specified
for a three-phase system. Then corresponding single-phase base MVA = Base

MVA / 3 and single-phase base voltage, kV = Base voltage, kV / 3 . Let us use

these in Eqs. (1.9), (1.11) and (1.14) and develop similar equations for three-
phase system.

Per-unit quantities on a different base

Sometimes, knowing the per-unit impedance of a component based on a

particular base values, we need to find the per-unit value of that component
based on some other base values.

From eq. (1.17), namely

Base MVA
Per-unit impedance = actual impedance X (1.17)
(Base voltage, kV) 2

it is to be noted that the per-unit impedance is directly proportional to base MVA

and inversely proportional to (base kV)2.

Let us say that it is required, to change the per-unit impedance on a given base to
per-unit impedance on a new base.

different and related by the turns ratio.

2. Base voltages need not be equal to the rated voltages.

3. Depending upon the base selected, p.u. values will change; but NOT the
actual values.

motors, all rated 13.2 kV, are represented by just two equivalent motors. Rated
inputs to the motors are 200 MVA and 100 MVA for M1 and M2, respectively. For
both motors X” = 20%. The three-phase transformer T1 is rated 350 MVA, 230/20

EXAMPLE 1.5

A transformer rated 200 MVA, 345Y / 20.5 Δ kV connected at the receiving

end of a transmission line feeds a balanced load rated 180 MVA, 22.5 kV, 0.8
lagging power factor. Determine

(a) the rating of each of three single-phase transformers which when

properly connected will be equivalent to the above three-phase
transformer and
(b) the complex impedance of the load in per-unit, if the base in the
transmission line is 100 MVA, 345 kV.

Advantages of per-unit calculation

Manufacturers usually specify the impedance of a piece of apparatus in

percent or per-unit on the base of the name plate rating.

The per-unit impedances of machines of same type and widely different rating
usually lie within narrow range although the ohmic values differ much.

For a transformer, when impedance is specified in ohm, it must be clearly

mentioned whether it is with respect to primary or secondary. The per-unit
impedance of the transformer, once expressed on proper base, is the same
referred to either side.

The way in which the three-phase transformers are connected does not affect
the per-unit impedances although the transformer connection does determine
the relation between the voltage bases on the two sides of the transformer.

NETWORK GRAPH

A power system network is essentially an interconnection of several two-

terminal components such as generators, transformers, transmission lines,
motors and loads. Each element has impedance known as element impedance.
The voltage across the element is called element voltage and the current
flowing through the element is called the element current. A set of
components when they are connected form a Primitive network.

A representation of a power system and the corresponding oriented graph are

shown in Fig. 1.15.

Fig. 1.15 A power system network and corresponding oriented graph

This network shown has 7 elements and 4 buses (excluding the reference bus 0).

Connectivity of various elements to form the network can be shown by the bus
incidence matrix A. In matrix A, number of rows is equal to number of buses and
number of columns is equal to number of elements. Each element is assigned
arbitrary orientation. For each element, 1 is entered at the originating bus and -1
at the terminating bus. For above network, bus incidence matrix A is obtained as

Element voltages are referred as v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6 and v7. Element currents are
referred as i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6 and i7. In power system problems quite often we make
use of bus voltages and bus currents.

For the above network, the bus voltages are V 1, V2, V3 and V4. The bus voltages
are always measured with respect to the ground bus. The bus currents are
designated as I1, I2, I3, and I4.

Consider element 5. Its voltage v5 = V2 – V3. Writing like this, the element
voltages are related to bus voltages as:
7 v1 = - V 1

v2 = - V 2

Here z ii is the self impedance of element i and z ij is the mutual impedance
between elements i and j. In matrix notation the above can be written as

v=zi (1.24)

Here z is known as primitive impedance matrix. The inverse form of above is

i=yv (1.25)

In the above y is called as primitive admittance matrix. Matrices z and y are

inverses of each other.

BUS VARIABLES and BUS PARAMETERS

Similar to the above two relations, in terms of bus frame, equations are

Vbus = Zbus Ibus (1.26)

Here Vbus is the bus voltage vector, Ibus is the bus current vector and Zbus is the
bus impedance matrix. The inverse form of above is

Ibus = Ybus Vbus (1.27)

Here Ybus is known as bus admittance matrix. Matrices Zbus and Ybus are inverses
of each other.
53
Derivation for the bus admittance matrix

It was shown that

v = AT Vbus (1.21) i= y v (1.25)

Ibus = A i (1.22) Ibus = Ybus Vbus (1.27)

Consider eq. (1.22). Substituting eq. (1.25) in it

Ibus = A y v (1.28)

Substituting eq. (1.21) in the above

Ibus = A y AT Vbus (1.29)

Comparing eqs. (1.27) and (1.29)

Ybus = A y AT (1.30)

This is a very general formula for bus admittance matrix and admits mutual
coupling between elements.

54
In several power system problems mutual couplings will have negligible effect
and hence often omitted.

In that case, the primitive impedance matrix z and the primitive admittance matrix
y are diagonal

and Ybus can be obtained by inspection. These aspects are illustrated through the
seven-element network considered earlier. When mutual couplings are neglected

When there is no mutual coupling, the rules to form the elements of Ybus are:

 The diagonal element Yii equals the sum of the admittances directly
connected to bus i.
 The off-diagonal element Yij equals the negative of the admittance
connected between buses i and j. If there is no element between buses i
and j, then Yij equals to zero. 58
 Bus admittance matrix can be constructed by adding the elements one by one.

Separate the element 5 that is connected between buses 2 and 3 from the
original network. This results in the network graph and the corresponding bus
admittance matrix as

If the two network graphs are added, original network graph is obtained. If the
two matrices are added, Ybus of the original network is obtained
59
It can be inferred that the effect of adding element 5 between buses 2 and 3 is
to add admittance y55 to elements Ybus (2,2) and Ybus (3,3) and add – y55 to
elements Ybus (2,3) and Ybus (3,2).

To construct the bus admittance matrix Ybus , initially all the elements are set to
zero; then network elements are added one by one. When an element i - j is
added, four elements of Ybus namely Yii, Yjj, Yij and Yji, are modified. If bus i is
the reference bus, then element Yj j alone is modified. This procedure is much
suitable while writing COMPUTER PROGRAM.

Calculation of bus admittance matrix by adding subnetworks one by one can be

extended even the network contains coupled group. These are illustrated in the
following examples.

60
Example 1.6

Consider the power network shown in Fig. 1.16. The ground bus is marked
as 0. Grounding impedances at buses 1, 2, and 4 are j0.6 Ω, j0.4 Ω and j0.5 Ω
respectively. Impedances of the elements 3-4, 2-3, 1-2 and 2-4 are j0.25 Ω,
j0.2 Ω, j0.2 Ω and j0.5 Ω. The mutual impedance between elements 2-3 and 2-4
is j0.1 Ω. Obtain the bus admittance matrix of the power network.

example 1.6 using the formulas for Yi i and Yi j.

Solution

Methods to compute bus admittance matrix

Bus admittance matrix of a network can always be calculated from Ybus = A y AT

This matrix has the following property.

If the given network is divided into several subnetworks, the bus admittance of the
original network is the addition of bus admittance matrices of the subnetworks.

When there is no mutual couplings Ybus can be calculated by any one of the
following methods.

1. Add one element at a time and modify Ybus . (Followed while writing
computer programing)

2. Use the rules

 The diagonal element Yii equals the sum of the admittances directly
connected to bus i.
 The off-diagonal element Yij equals the negative of the admittance
connected between buses i and j. If there is no element between buses i
and j, then Yij equals to zero.

75
When there is one or more coupled groups Ybus can be calculated as follows:

(a) Find bus admittance matrix of coupled groups using the corresponding
bus incidence matrix and primitive admittance matrix.

(b) For the uncoupled portion, get the bus admittance matrix using any one
of two methods mentioned in the previous case.

(c) Finally add the corresponding elements of the bus admittance matrices.

Transformers with off-nominal tap settings can be modelled as the series
combination of auto-transformer with transformer impedance as shown in
Figure 1.19.

The nodal equations of the two-port circuit of Fig. 1.19 can be derived by first
expressing the current flows iℓm and im at each end of the series branch R + j X
in terms of the terminal voltages vℓ and vm . Denoting the admittance of this
branch ℓ-m by y, the terminal current injection equations are:

iℓm = y (vℓ - vm ) and im = y (vm - vℓ) Thus

Knowing that vk / vℓ = a and iℓm / ik = a, substituting for iℓm and vℓ as

a ik   y  y vk /a 
iℓm = a ik ; vℓ = vk / a we get  i  =  y y   v  (1.33)
