Introduction
What is Electric Power System?
Electric power system is a composite system of
generation, transmission, and distribution systems.
Generation Transmission Distribution

Stations Lines Systems
Step-up Step-down
Transformers Transformers Consumers
10
Introduction
The electricity produced by a generator travels along cables to
a transformer, which changes electricity from low voltage to
high voltage. Electricity can be moved long distances more
efficiently using high voltage.
Transmission lines are used to carry the electricity to a

substation.
Substations have transformers that change the high voltage

electricity into lower voltage electricity.
From the substation, distribution lines carry the electricity to

homes, offices and factories, which require low voltage
electricity.
11
Introduction
How is Electricity Measured?

Electricity is measured in units of power called WATTS.
1 W = 1 J/s
1 hp = 745.7 W – use in machine rating.
A kilowatt represents 1,000 watts.
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to the energy of 1,000
watts working for one hour.
For example, if you use a 100 W light bulb 8 hours a day, you have
used 800 W of power, or 0.8 kWh of electrical energy.

Sources of Electric Energy

• Electricity
– flow of electrical power or charge from one
point to another
– The secondary energy sources that generated
from the conversion of other sources of
energy, such as hydro, boimass,etc
14

Conventional/ Primary Sources
Fossil Fuels
Coal
Oil (Diesel/ Petroleum)
Natural Gas
Nuclear power
Hydropower
Renewable/ Secondary Sources

Geothermal power
Solar power
Tidal power
Wind power
Biomass
15

Coal – fossil fuel extracted from the ground
-Has been used since the Industrial
Revolution
-Easy to use because they require
simple direct combustion
16

Natural Gas – gaseous fossil fuel
consisting primarily of methane
17

Nuclear power – is a method in which steam is
produced by heating water through a process
called nuclear fission
- Other methods for nuclear reaction:
nuclear fusion and radioactive decay
- All utility-scale reactors heat water to
produce steam, which is then converted
into mechanical work for the purpose of
generating electricity or propulsion.
18

Hydropower – is a process in which flowing water
is used to spin a turbine connected to a generator
19

Geothermal power – is electricity generated by
utilizing naturally occurring geological heat sources
-Geothermal resources:
-shallow ground
-hot water and rock
-magma
20

Solar power – describes a number of methods of
harnessing energy from the light of the Sun
21

Wind power – is derived from the conversion of
the energy contained in wind into electricity
22

Biomass – (wood, agricultural waste, such
as rice husk and bagasse, are some other
energy sources for producing electricity.

Modern Electric Power Systems
A modern complex interconnected power

system can be subdivided into 4 major parts:
Generation
Transmission & Subtransmission
Distribution
Loads
26

Generation
• Generators
 3-phase ac synchronous generator or alternator.
 Have 2 rotating fields – rotor (synchronous speed and
excited by dc current) & stator windings (3-phase
armature current).
 Size of generators – 50 MW to 1500 MW.
 Mechanical power – prime mover (hydraulic turbines,
steam turbines, gas turbines).
 Steam/ Gas turbines – high speeds, 1800/ 3600 rpm.
 Hydraulic turbines – low speed, 150 – 300 rpm.
27
28
• Transformers
 Step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage
level for long distances power transmission.
 The power transferred to the secondary is almost the
same as the primary.
 In modern utility system, the power may undergo 4 or 5
transformations between generator and ultimate user.

Transmission and Subtransmission
 Transfer electric energy from generating units at various
locations to the distribution system.
 Transfer of power between regions during emergencies.
 In Malaysia, transmission voltage are standardized at 66
kV, 132 kV, 275 kV, and 500 kV line-to-line.
 Subtransmission connects the HV substation through
step-down transformers to the distribution substation.
 Typical subtransmission voltage level ranges from 66 kV
to 132 kV.
 Capacitor banks/ reactor banks are used to maintain the
transmission line voltage.
31
Step Down Transformer at Subtransmission Network
32
Distribution
 The primary distribution lines are ranging from 6.6 kV to 33
kV.
 The secondary distribution lines are normally at 415 V and
240 V.
 Distribution systems are both overhead and underground.
33

Loads
 Divided into industrial, commercial, and residential.
 Very large industrial loads may be served from the
transmission system.
 Industrial loads – mostly induction motors.
 Commercial & residential loads – lighting, heating, and
cooling.
 Greatest value of load during a 24-hr period is called peak or
maximum demand.
 Daily Load factor = average load X 24 hr/ peak load X 24 hr.

One-line Diagram
The information on a one-line diagram is vary according to the problem at
hand and the practice of the particular company preparing the diagram.
Example :
Load/ Power Flow Study
Transient Stability Study
43
Advantages of One-line Diagram
 Simplicity.
 One phase represents all three phases of the balanced
system.
 The equivalent circuits of the components are replaced
by their standard symbols.
 The completion of the circuit through the neutral is
omitted.
44
Impedance and Reactance Diagrams
 Impedance (Z = R + jX) diagram is converted from one-
line diagram showing the equivalent circuit of each
component of the system. It is needed in order to
calculate the performance of a system under load
conditions (Load flow studies) or upon the occurrence of a
short circuit (fault analysis studies).
 Reactance (jX) diagram is further simplified from
impedance diagram by omitting all static loads, all
resistances, the magnetizing current of each transformer,
and the capacitance of the transmission line. It is apply to
fault calculations only, and not to load flow studies.
 Impedance and reactance diagrams sometimes called the
Positive-sequence diagram.

Per-unit Representation
 Common quantities used in power system analysis are
voltage (kV), current (kA), voltamperes (kVA or MVA),
and impedance (Ω).
 It is very cumbersome to convert currents to a different
voltage level in a power system having two or more
voltage levels.
 Per-unit representation is introduced such that the
various physical quantities are expressed as a decimal
fraction or multiples of base quantities and is defined as:
actual quantity
Quantity in per - unit 
base value of quantity
49
Example :
For instance, if a base voltage of 275 kV is chosen, actual voltages of
247.5 kV, 275 kV, and 288.75 kV become 0.90, 1.00, and 1.05 per-unit.
 For simplicity, per-unit is always written as pu.

 For single-phase systems:
base kVA 1
Base current, A 
base voltage, kVLN
base voltage, VLN
Base impedance 
base current, A
(base voltage, kVLN ) 2
Base impedance 
base MVA 1
Base power, kW1  base kVA 1
Base power, MW1  base MVA 1
50
 For three-phase systems:
base kVA 3
Base current, A 
3 X base voltage, kVLL
(base voltage, kVLL ) 2
Base impedance 
base MVA 3
Base power, kW3  base kVA 3
Base power, MW3  base MVA 3
51
Example :
A three-phase, wye-connected system is rated at 100 MVA and 132 kV.
Express 80 MVA of three-phase apparent power as a per-unit value
referred to
(a) the three-phase system MVA as base and
(b) the single-phase system MVA as base.
(a) For the three-phase base,

Base MVA = 100 MVA = 1 pu
and Base kV = 132 kV (LL) = 1 pu
so Per-unit MVA = 80/100 = 0.8 pu
(b) For the single-phase base,
Base MVA = 1/3 X 100 MVA = 33.333 MVA = 1 pu
and Base kV = 132/√3 = 76.21 kV = 1 pu
so Per-unit MVA = 1/3 X 80/33.333 = 0.8 pu
52
Changing the Base of Per-unit Quantities
 The impedance of individual generators and
transformers are generally in terms of % or pu quantities
based on their own ratings (By manufacturer).
 For power system analysis, all impedances must be
expressed in pu on a common system base. Thus, it is
necessary to convert the pu impedances from one base
to another (common base, for example: 100 MVA).
 Per-unit impedance of a circuit element
(actual impedance, ) X (base MVA)

(base voltage, kV) 2
53
 The equation shows that pu impedance is directly
proportional to base MVA and inversely proportional to
the square of the base voltage.
 Therefore, to change from old base pu impedance to
new base pu impedance, the following equation applies:
2
 base kVold   base MVA new 
Per - unit Z new  per - unit Zold    
 base kVnew   base MVA old 
Example 1.5:
The reactance X” of a generator is given as 0.20 pu based on the
generator’s nameplate rating of 13.2 kV, 30 MVA. The base for
calculations is 13.8 kV, 50 MVA. Find X” on this new base.

 13.2  50
x"  0.20   0.306 pu
 13.8  30 54
Example :
A 30 MVA 13.8 kV three-phase generator has a subtransient reactance
of 15%. The generator supplies two motors over a transmission line
having transformers at both ends, as shown in the one-line diagram
below. The motors have rated inputs of 20 MVA and 10 MVA, both 12.5
kV with x” = 20%. The three-phase transformer T1 is rated 35 MVA,
13.2Δ – 115Y kV with leakage reactance of 10%. Transformer T2 is
composed of three single-phase transformers each rated at 10 MVA,
12.5Δ – 67Y kV with leakage reactance of 10%. Series reactance of the
transmission line is 80 Ω. Draw the reactance diagram with all
reactances marked in per unit. Select the generator rating as base in
the generator circuit.

The three-phase rating of transformer T2 is 3 X 10 MVA = 30 MVA.
and its line-to-line voltage ratio is 12.5 – √3 X 67 = 12.5 – 116 kV.
A base of 30 MVA, 13.8 kV in the generator circuit requires a 30 MVA
base in all parts of the system and the following voltage bases:
In transmission line: 13.8(115/13.2) = 120 kV.
In motor circuit: 120(12.5/116) = 12.9 kV.
The reactances of the transformers converted to the proper base are:
Transformer T1: X = 0.1 (13.2/13.8)2(30/35) = 0.0784 pu.
Transformer T2: X = 0.1(12.5/12.9)2 = 0.0940 pu.
The base impedance of the transmission line is
(120 kV)2/30 MVA = 480 Ω
and the reactance of the line is (80/480) = 0.167 pu.
Reactance of motor 1 = 0.2 (12.5/12.9)2(30/20) = 0.282 pu.
Reactance of motor 2 = 0.2 (12.5/12.9)2(30/10) = 0.563 pu.

Basic Computer Analysis of EPS

 For a power system to be practical, it must be safe,
reliable, and economical. Hence, many analyses must be
performed to design and operate a power system.
 However, the pre-requisite before the analyses can be
performed is the modelling tasks – to model all
components of electric power systems.
 The modelling and analysis of a power system require
the aid of PC.
 The basic analyses of an electric power system are:
– Load flow/ power flow analysis.
– Fault analysis.
– Stability analysis (steady state, dynamic , and transient
stabilities).
58

Load Flow / Power Flow
 A load flow study is the steady-state solution of an
electric power system for determination of the voltage,
current, power (both active, P and reactive power, Q),
and power factor at various points in the network.
 Load flow studies are the backbone of power system
analysis and design such as planning, operation,
economic scheduling, transient stability and contingency
studies.
59

Fault Analysis
 Fault studies concern about the determination of bus
voltage and line currents during various types of faults.
 Faults occur in power system due to:
(1) Insulation failure in the equipments.
(2) Flashover of transmission lines initiated by lightning stroke.
(3) Mechanical damage to conductors and tower.
(4) Accidental faulty operation.
 Faults are divided into three-phase balanced faults and
unbalanced faults (single line-to-ground fault, line-to-line
fault, and double line-to-ground fault).
 The relative frequency of occurrence of various faults are
3-Φ fault (5%), double line-to-ground fault (10%), line-to-
line fault (15%), and 1-Φ to ground fault (70%).
60

Stability Analysis
 Because the power system stability is an electro-
mechanical phenomena, it is thus defined as the ability of
designated synchronous machines in the system to remain
in synchronism with one another following disturbances
such as fault and fault removal at various locations in the
system.
 Three types of stability are of concern: steady state,
dynamic, and transient stability.
 Steady state stability relates to the response of a synchronous machine to a
gradually increasing load.
 Dynamic stability involves the response to small disturbances that occur in the
system, producing oscillation. Also known as small signal stability.
 Transient stability involves the response to large disturbances, which may cause
rather large changes in rotor speeds, power angles, and power transfer.
