Load Flow Study
Introduction Size of a power system (generation, transmission and distribution) increases day by day. Then number of interconnection increase, so that a large number power system data must be handled continuously and accurately. System variables such as voltage levels and power flow in the transmission and distribution parts are needed to be analyzed under the normal operation as well as abnormal conditions such as sudden large disturbances. Load flow becomes important in that respect. A load flow study is the determination of the voltage, convert power, power factor etc of various points in an electrical network under normal operation. Although load flow study is considered as an important section in power systems, the problem can also be solved by circuit analysis. As a simple example let’s consider a resistor (1 Ω) connected to two parallel batteries of voltage 1V. Then the current flowing to the resistor is 2A. The voltage across each battery is 1V. Now if you consider the effect of internal impedance of batteries and the impedance of the wires of the circuit, the problem becomes complicated. But it still can be analyzed using Kirchoff’s laws. Now if you replace the battery by generator transformer unit, wires by transmission lines and resistor by a load, the same problem can be considered as a three bus system. Thus the load flow problem can be analyzed using Kirchoffs laws. However, in reality, the number of buses in a power system is large, (i.e. in Sri Lankan transmission system it is about 196 buses), so that number of variables become large. So, load flow study can be easily analyzed by iterative methods rather than direct solution. The main objective of the load flow study is to calculate the bus voltages under steady state condition. Further it provides information about power flows in lines, losses in lines and transformers and any required reactive power compensation. The load flow can also provide information whether future expansion of the system will meet the load demand. In general, there are number of commercially available computer software to analyze load flow. However, this theory part covers the knowledge necessary to write your own programs to analyze the load flow study. Classification of buses The buses can be categorized in to following groups. (1) slack bus or swing bus or reference bus One bus is considered as reference bus and voltage is specified and the phase angle is set to zero. In a power system, the system losses are not known accurately before the load flow solution is calculated. Then it is not possible to specify all the injected real power in each bus. Thus the real power in the reference bus is allowed to swing and it supplies the slack between schedule real power and the sum of loads and losses. Known quantities lVl=Vspec, i.e. 1.05, δ=00
Unknown quantities P,Q (2) Generator bus or voltage controlled bus or PV bus Generators are connected to PV bus. Real power generation and voltage magnitude are specified. Known quantities lVl, and P unknown quantities δ, Q (3) Load bus or PQ pus Net real and reactive powers are known. Loads and sometimes and loads and generators are connected to this bus

Known quantities P,Q Unknown quantities lVl, δ Usually the ratio between number of load buses to generator buses is approximately 85/15. Basic Equations Assume there is a n-bus power system. The complex power injected to the kth bus can be written as

The former set of equations for active and reactive power is used for Gauss-Seidal method whereas the latter is used for Newton-Raphson method. Limits When analyzing the load flow problem, the variations of the following parameters are checked whether they are within the limits.
The voltage magnitude of each bus must satisfy that they are between maximum and minimum limit. This limit arises because the power system components are designed to operate at a fixed voltage i.e. 5-10% of rated value.
The voltage angle difference must be less than maximum limits. This constraint limits the maximum permissible power angle of the transmission lines.
In addition active and reactive power also has limits due to physical limitations of the generators. Iterative methods The load flow problem is solved by any solution techniques used to solve non-linear algebraic solutions. The common methods are Gauss-Seidal methods and Newton Raphson method. A modified version of Newton Raphson method called fast decoupled method is also used.

Gauss-Seidal method Consider a n-bus system. The voltages can be written as V 1, V2, …Vk … Vn and their values need to be calculated. We need n number of different equations. Let’s rewrite each equation in the following form:

The above sets of equations help to calculate the voltages using iterative method. First initial voltage values are substituted in each equation in the right hand side, the corresponding voltages can be estimated in the left hand side after the first iteration. The estimated voltage values in the first iteration can be re-substituted so that a set of voltages can be estimated after the second iteration. This process can be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained for the voltages. After i th iteration, the set of equations looks as follows:

Now we do some modification to improve the convergence of the voltage estimation. When estimating the voltage of the bus 2 from equation 2, V 1 has already been estimated from equation 1. Similarly, in equation k, when Vk is estimated, voltages up to Vk-1 have already been estimated in previous equations. So, the sets of equations can be modified as

The diagonal elements represent the total admittances in each bus. The off-diagonal elements represent the admittances of each line with negative sign. (i.e. -Y 12 is the admittance between bus 1 and 2). The capacitances of the lines are added to the diagonal elements if we take the nominal π network for the line model. The injected current in k th bus can be written as Ik = Yk1V1 + Yk2V2 +…….+ YkkVk + …….+ YknVn This can be simplified to

Usually α is selected as 1.6. Newton_Raphson Method In Newton-Raphson method, we use a different iterative approach. To explain the method, let’s consider a variable x which satisfies a function y=f(x). So, if x 0 is solution, it will satisfy y=f(x). If the equation does not satisfy, now add a small x, Δx0 and check it again. Let’s take the change in y as Δy0. Now we use Tayler’s expansion and by neglecting higher order terms in the Taylar’s series, the change in y can be written as Δy0 = Δx0 (∂f/∂x)0
Now we extend the problem for n number of variables x 1….xn which corresponds to y1….yn. The relationship between Δy0 and Δx0 in matrix form

Here Δy is known values and are P and Q in load flow study. Δx are unknowns such as bus voltages. unlike in G-S method, in N-R method the bus voltages are separated into two as in complex numbers. If the bus voltages are in polar coordinates, the variables are lVl and δ. On the other hand they are e and f in rectangular coordinates where V=e+jf. Let’s assume a n-bus system with g number of PV buses. In polar coordinates, ΔP is known for all PV and PQ buses, whereas ΔQ is known only for all PQ buses. Their correspondent variables are Δδ and Δ lVl. Then Δy becomes ΔP and ΔQ whereas Δx becomes Δδ and Δ lVl Equation 1 now can be written in the following sub-matrix form.

Calculate ΔP and ΔQ with assign lVl and δ. Calculate the elements in the Jaccobian matrix. Solve equation 2 and obtain ΔlVl and Δδ and update those values . Step 5 Test for convergence Finally calculate P and Q for slack bus, Q for all PV buses, line losses and currents. Decoupled Newton Method Since the Newton Raphson method is complicated, the convergence time is high. So, fast decoupled method is used for saving time for computation. In this method, it is assumed that the variation of active power w.r.t. lVl and reactive power w.r.t. δ are negligible. So, the equation (2) will simplifies to

The same equations which were used in Newton Raphson method can be used to calculate the elements in partial derivatives. Now instead of finding the inverse matrix of (2n-g-2)x(2n-g-2) elements, the new sizes of matrices are (n-1)x(n-1) and (n-g-1)x(n-g-1). For example in Sri Lankan system, n=196, g=26, initially it is 364x364 matrix. Now they are 195x195 and 169x169. Fast Decoupled method The fast decoupled method was developed by B. Stott in 1974. Some assumptions were made to simplify the terms in J matrix so that convergence rate is high. The assumptions are Under normal loading conditions, the angle difference across transmission lines is negligible. In transmission line its reactance is more than the resistance so G is ignored compared to B. Based on the assumptions, the equations used in NR method simplifies to

Symmetrical Components
Introduction A balanced three-phase system exists only in theory. Many systems are nearly balanced but with emergency conditions (i.e. unsymmetrical faults, unbalanced loads, open conductors and unsymmetrical condition in rotating machine etc.) system becomes unbalanced. In order to protect against the unbalanced condition, a symmetrical system is necessary. In 1918 Fortescue proposed a method for solving an unbalance set of n related phases into n set of balance phases called symmetrical components. These phases in each set are in equal magnitude and spaced 120° or 0°. We commonly use symmetrical component theory in power systems. The main objective of the symmetrical components is to analyze unsymmetrical faults. (The symmetrical components is similar when we have several vectors and how we analyze them by separating into several axes i.e. x-axis, y-axis and z-axis). Let’s consider a balance system as shown below.
Each voltage phases can be written as follows VR = VR∠0 VB = VR∠120 VY = VR∠240 Symmetrical components
Now consider an unbalanced system where we have different voltage magnitudes and phase angles spaced other than 120°. (see below)
VR VB
VY
Now we introduce the symmetrical components to solve the unbalance system. Any unbalanced 3 ∅ system shown above can be split into three-balanced system of phase sequences. 1. Positive sequence system – having the same phase sequence as the unbalance system 2. Negative sequence system – having the opposite phase sequence as the unbalance system 3. Zero sequence system – having all three phase in sequence

negative sequence RBY A negative sequence system is represented by a balanced system having opposite phase sequence (RBY) as the original unbalanced system.
VR0 VR0 = VB0 =VY0
zero sequence A zero sequence system is represented by 3 single phases having equal magnitudes & angular displacements. The three voltage phases VR , VY , VB of the unbalanced set can be graphically represented by their symmetrical components.
R phase VR = VR0 +VR1 +VR2 (R phase voltage is the addition of all sequences of the R phase)

VB0
Since we use symmetrical component theory in three-phase system, the most frequently used phase difference is 1200. Now we introduce an operator λ = 1 ∠120° = e j2π/3 = -0.5+j 0.866 for converting components.
Then the following relationships can be obtained between the operator λ and phase angles.
λ2 = λ x λ = (1 ∠120) (1 ∠120) = 1 ∠240 = 1 ∠-120 λ3 = λ2 x λ = (1 ∠240) (1 ∠120) = 1 ∠360 = 1 ∠0 λ4 = λ3 x λ = (1 ∠0) (1 ∠120) = 1 ∠120 = λ λ5 = λ4 x λ = (1 ∠120) (1 ∠120) = 1 ∠240 = λ2 λ6 = = 1
1 + λ + λ2 = 1 ∠0 + 1 ∠120 + 1 ∠240 =0 1 + λ + λ2 =0

In general, Parameters in Symmetrical Components Let’s obtain the relationships between parameters such as voltage, current, power and impedance of unbalanced system with their corresponding symmetrical components. Using λ, the parameters (i.e. voltage, current, impedance, power) for the Y and B phases can be written in terms of R phase. Voltages in symmetrical components The actual voltages, VR, VY and VB can be written in terms of the symmetrical components of R phase V R1, VR2, VR0 For positive sequence, VY1 = λ2 VR1 and VB1 = λ VR1
For negative sequence, VY2 = λ VR2 and VB2 = λ2 VR2 For zero sequence VR0 = VB0 = VY0 VB1= λVR1 VR1 VY2 = λVR2 VB2 = λ2VR2 VR0 = VY0 =VB0 VR2 VY1 = λ2VR1 Now consider the relationships between the actual voltages and their symmetrical components VR = VR1 + VR2 + VR0 VB = VB1 + VB2 + VB0 = VR1 + λVR2 + λ2VR0 VY = VY1 + VY2 + VY0
= λ2 VR1 + λVR2 + VR0

λ = λ4 = λn+1 = 1 ∠120 λ = λ5 = λn+2 = 1 ∠240 λ = λ6 = λn+3 = 1 ∠0

Therefore, A-1 = 1/3 Solving the matrix for symmetrical components, VR0 = 1/3( VR+ VY+ VB ) VR1 = 1/3( VR+ λVY+ λ2VB ) VR2 = 1/3( VR+ λ2VY+ λ B ) Currents in symmetrical components Similar to the voltage, the relationships between actual components and the symmetrical components of currents can be written as follows: = = Example: Determine the symmetrical components for V R = 7.3 ∠12.5°, VY = 0.4 ∠100°, VB = 4.4 ∠-154° V Ans VR1 = 3.97 ∠20.5°, VY1 = 3.97 ∠260.5°, VB1 = 3.97 ∠140.5°, VR2 = 2.52 ∠-19.7°, VY2 = 2.52 ∠100.3°, VB2 = 2.52 ∠220.5°, VR0= VY0 = VB0 = 1.47 ∠45.1°.

The networks of a particular sequence shows all the paths for flow of current at that sequence in the system. Positive, negative and zero sequence networks of loads Positive and negative sequences are simple to find out (current flows through the positive/negative impedances). In the zero sequence, zero sequence currents are in same magnitude & same phase. So 3 ∅ system operates as 1∅. But zero sequence current can occur if there is a complete path. In other cases zero sequence impedance is infinite. (open circuit) Let’s consider the most common cases: Case 1 Star connected ungrounded neutral

Z0 N Z0 N0 There is no connection from neutral to ground or another neutral point. Thus the sum of current is zero (no zero sequence current).

There is no return path for the current. The zero sequence network is open at the ∆ connected circuit and therefore the zero sequence current is zero. But current can circulate within the ∆ connected circuit. Sequence impedance with synchronous machines In synchronous machines the positive (Z 1), the negative (Z2) & the zero (Z0) impedances are different. The positive impedance is selected as its direct axis subtransient X” d or transient Xd reactances depending on the reaction of the time of the relays. For “fast” relays (usually for fault studies) X”d is used whereas for “slow” relays Xd is used. (Xd> X”d) Consider a star connected generator grounded through Z n impedance. Since the generator is designed to generate balance 3Ø voltages the generated voltages are positive sequence only. Positive sequence networks consist of an emf series with positive sequence impedance.
IR1 Z1 VR1 ER ref
The negative sequence reactance (Z2) is approximately equal to either Z2=(X’d+X’q)/2 or X2=(X”d+X”q)/2 For round rotor machines, X2=X1. The negative sequence network contains only the negative sequence impedances.
IR2 Z2 VR2
Zero sequence contains only the zero sequence impedances at the network. It contains the zero sequence impedance of the generator & the impedance to the ground. The zero sequence impedance is much less than positive sequence impedance. Z0 = Zgo + 3Za where Zgo = generator neutral to ground Za = neutral to ground IR0 VR0

Generator reactance For short circuit calculations the following three reactance are used. 1. Synchronous reactance (Xs) This reactance commonly used for performance in steady state operations and it includes reactance due to self inductance in the armature and reactance equivalent to armature reactance. The steady state short circuit current I is given by (E/Xs) where E is the emf of the machine. Xs=X+XL. Typical values of Xs in main synchronous generators at Kotmale 100% p.u., Victoria 95% p.u. and Randenigala 100% p.u. 2. Transient reactance Xd’ At a sudden short circuit across the terminator of the generator, the effective reactance is less than Xs. At the short circuit there is a sudden increase of armature current (current lags the voltage almost 90 °) and it produce a demagnetizing mmf to the main mmf. Due to this change, the magnetic flux in the air gap can change rapidly, but, in the core (in the poles) it need longer time to vary. To maintain the flux without changing at the pole base, the field current should be increased to overcome the demagnetizing effect in the armature. Increasing field current increases leakage flux and reduces the flux at base of the pole in the air gap. (The total flux equals to addition of the leakage flux and flux at pole base). Then the induced emf reduces from E to E’. The short circuit current I’ is now E’/X. For convenience we used I’=E/Xd’ where Xd’is the transient reactance. Xd’ >XL. Typical values of Xd’ in main synchronous generators at Kotmale 20% p.u., Victoria 23.9% p.u. and Randenigala 32% p.u. 3. Sub-transient reactance Xd” If the machine is a turbo-generator or fitted with damper winding the sudden air gap flux variation is not very high. This results initial short circuit current to a high value. The sub transient current I”=E/Xd”. I’=E/Xd’ where Xd’is the transient reactance. Xd”≈XL. Typical values of Xd” in main synchronous generators at Kotmale 17% p.u., Victoria 16.5% p.u. and Randenigala 21% p.u. When there is a symmetrical short circuit at the generator terminals, initially, the short circuit current I” is limited by sub-transient reactance Xd” for few cycles, then reduces to I’ limited by transient reactance and settles to steady state short circuit current I. the related time constants are Td” – sub transient and Td’- transient. Typical values Td’ and Td’’ at main synchronous generators at Kotmale power station Td’=1.6s and Td”=0.08s, Victoria power station Td’=2.08s and Td”=0.041s, and Randenigala power station Td’=1.9s and Td”=0.06s. In general, Isc = (I”-I’)e(-t/Td”) + (I’-I)e(-t/Td’) + I. Positive sequence impedance The positive impedance is selected as its sub-transient X” d or transient Xd reactances depending on the reaction of the time of the relays. For “fast” relays (usually for fault studies) X”d is used whereas for “slow” relays Xd is used. (Xd> X”d). Negative sequence impedance For turbo generators X2=(Xd”+Xq”)/2≈ Xd”. For salient pole machines it is about 20 % grater than Xd”. Typical values of X2 in main synchronous generators at Kotmale 19% p.u., Victoria 22.2% p.u. and Randenigala 23% p.u. Zero sequence impedance X0 is less than Xd” usually is 1/6 to ¾ time Xd”. Typical values of X0 in main synchronous generators at Kotmale 9% p.u., Victoria 12.1% p.u. and Randenigala 10% p.u.

Fault Analysis
Introduction A fault occurs in a power system due to failure of equipment or transient faults due to surges. The purpose of fault analysis is to calculate maximum and minimum fault current and voltages at different locations at the power system for different types of fault so a good protective system can be designed i.e. relay, C.B. etc… Assumptions in fault study:
1. Normal loads, line-charging capacitors, shunt elements in transformers and other shunt elements to ground are negligible.
2. All generated system voltages are equal and in phase. So pre fault bus voltages are set to 1∠0°
3. The series resistances at lines and transformers are neglected. Only reactances are contained
4. All transformers in their nominal tap positions. Fault analysis can be carried out in Pu system
5. A generator is represented by a constant voltage source and a proper reactance such as sub transient Xd″ or transient Xd’ or synchronous reactance Xd. Normally Xd″ is selected for positive sequence.
Classification All faults can be solved by using symmetrical components.

3Φ Fault at full load Here it is assumed that before the fault the generator supplies a load current which is significantly large (can not be neglected). Problems can be solved by using Thevenin equivalent circuit at the fault point. Unbalanced Faults Most of the 3Φ fault s are unbalanced i.e. line to ground (L-G), line to line (L-L), double line to ground (Dl-G). Accuracy percentage: LG 70% LL 15% DLG 10% LLL /LLLG 5% 3Φ faults are the severe ones. LG can be more severe than 3Φ fault under the following conditions.
1. the generators involved in the fault have solidly grounded neutrals or low impedance neutral Z.
2. on the Y side at ∆ Y transformer banks.

Unbalanced faults can be easily solved by using symmetrical component of an unbalanced system at currents and voltages. So the system is converted into +ve -ve and zero sequence networks. Single line to ground fault (SLG) SLG occurs when one conductor (i.e. R phase ) contacts the ground or neutral wire. Assume R phase connects the N or ground with Zf impedance.

Transient Analysis
Common Transients Transients or over-voltages are categorized into three groups depending on the time scale. The first class is very fast transients i.e. occurs within µs period. Lightning surges are examples for it. The second class is fast transients occurs in ms range. The examples are switching transients. The third class is slow transients considered as power frequency over-voltages occurs during second to minute period. Comparison of these transients are shown below.
Lightning Surges This type of transients appear in power system especially on transmission lines due to lightning surges. The surges can be due to direct or indirect hit on the transmission line. The surge travel through the line and come to the end terminals i.e. transformer at a sub-station. The usual protection methods are
(1) Using a shielding wire (2) Line insulators (3) Surge arrestors etc.
For testing purposes of the equipment in the power system, standard lightning impulses are used. It is 1.2/50 µs for voltage impulses and 8/20 µs for current impulses. The 1.2 µs is the front time with a tolerance of ± 30% (IEC 60). The front time can vary between 0.84 µs to 1.56 µs. The 50 µs is the time to half value with a tolerance of ±20%. It is the

time which the voltage reaches its half value. The time to half value can vary between 40 µs to 60 µs. The shape of the impulse is the behaviour of double exponential function as given below:
( )tt eeVtV βα −− −= 0)( The typical values for α and β are α ≈ 0.0143, β ≈ 4.87 where t is in µs. The shape of the impulse is given below.
Switching Surges The switching surges are caused by switching operation in a network. For testing purposes of the equipment in the power system, standard switching impulses are used. It is 250/2500 µs voltage impulses. The 250 µs is the time to crest value with a tolerance of ± 20% (IEC 60). The time to crest value can vary between 200 µs to 300 µs. The 2500 µs is the time to half value with a tolerance of ±60%. The time to half value can vary between 1 ms to 4 ms. Since switching transients are different in nature, a large tolerance is provided. The shape of the switching impulse is given below.

Some of the examples for switching surges are given below. 1. Fault clearing at a short circuit point 2. Disconnecting of an unloaded transformer 3. Disconnecting of an unloaded line 4. Connecting to open unloaded line
5. Single line to ground faults – When a single line ground fault occurs a voltage equal and opposite occurs at the instant of fault inception. Traveling waves may initiate in the faulted and healthy phases due to capacitive coupling. 6. Non-simultaneous switching – For example when a transformer is connected to a network and poles of the circuit breakers do not close simultaneously.
Power Frequency Over-Voltages Following reasons may cause temporally over-voltages.
1. Line dropping – When a large load is disconnected the resistive and reactive voltage drops disappear and over-voltage occurs until the operating value is restored.
2. Ferro resonance – a high voltage can appear across the elements of a series LC circuit when it is excited near or at their natural frequency.
3. Ground faults – When a ground fault occurs with a non-earthed neutral, the healthy phases will adopt a √3 times higher voltage until the fault is cleared.

In a lossless line the shape and the magnitude of the wave do not change with respect to the distance x. However a delay occurs at different locations (different x) where the delay is given by x/v. Reflection, Refraction at Discontinuity Point When a surge wave goes through a transmission with surge resistance R0 and enter into a different line or impedance Z, part of the incident voltage and current wave will reflect. The rest will refract (or transmit) to the other section. The ratio between reflected wave to the incident wave is given by reflection coefficient “β”. The ratio between refracted wave to the incident wave is given by refraction coefficient “α”. Once α and β are known, the reflected and transmitted wave can be obtained.

Terminations with Different Loads ZL When a surge wave enters to a terminal load the reflected wave to the line and the transmitted wave to the load varies depending on the type and value of the connected load ZL. The equations for voltage and currents in some of the common loads are given below.

Multiple Reflected waves – Bewley’s Zig Zag Diagram When a transmission line is terminated with mismatch loads in both ends, the incident wave reflect in both ends. These reflections repeated continuously. It is important to draw a diagram to explain how the multiple reflections effects on voltage and current at different locations and at different times. This diagram is called Bewley’s Zig Zag diagram. It provides the trace of wave front at different locations of the line and variation with respect to the time. Consider a line with surge resistance R terminates at the receiving end with different impedance ZR and at the sending end with impedance ZS. The reflection and refraction coefficients at the receiving end are βR and αR. The reflection and refraction coefficients at the sending end are βS and αS. The βR αR βS and αS are calculated as

By assuming that the length of the line is L, the time taken to travel the wave through the line is given by t=L/v. The v is the velocity of the wave. The line diagram of the selected part (line and terminal loads) and the Zig Zag diagram for the voltage waves are shown below. The diagram of the current wave is similar.

Each part in the above expression appears with a time delay of 2t. In a different location the expression for the voltage is same, however, delay time varies and it should be found from the Zig Zag diagram. If the surge is a step function of amplitude E, the maximum voltage can be written as
