1. INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB
MATLAB is a high performance language for technical computing. It integrates
computation, visualization and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and
solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation.
MATLAB is numeric computation software for engineering and scientific calculations.
MATLAB is primary tool for matrix computations. MATLAB is being used to simulate random
process, power system, control system and communication theory.
MATLAB comprising lot of optional tool boxes and block set like control system,
optimization, and power system and so on.
1.1.

TYPICAL USES INCLUDE

Math and computation.
Algorithm development.
Modeling, simulation and prototype.
Data analysis, exploration and Visualization.
Scientific and engineering graphics.
Application development, including graphical user interface building.

MATLAB is a widely used tool in electrical engineering community. It can be used for
simple mathematical manipulation with matrices for understanding and teaching basic
mathematical and engineering concepts and even for studying and simulating actual power
system and electrical system in general. The original concept of a small and handy tool has
evolved to become an engineering work house.

It is now accepted that MATLAB and its numerous tool boxes replace and/or enhance the usage
of traditional simulation tool for advanced engineering applications.
Engineering personnel responsible for studies of electrical power system, control
system and power electronics circuits will benefit from the MATLAB. To expertise in Electrical
System Simulation one should have a basic understanding of electric circuits, power system and
power electronics.
1.2.

GETTING STARTED WITH MATLAB

To open the MATLAB applications double click the MATLAB icon on the desktop.
This will open the MATLAB window space with MATLAB prompt as shown in the fig.1.

Fig-1: MATLAB window space

To quit from MATLAB type
>> quit
(Or)
>>exit

To select the (default) current directory click ON the icon [] and browse for the folder
named D:\SIMULAB\xxx, where xxx represents roll number of the individual candidate in
which a folder should be created already.
When you start MATLAB you are presented with a window from which you can enter
commands interactively. Alternatively, you can put your commands in an M- file and execute it
at the MATLAB prompt. In practice you will probably do a little of both. One good approach is
to incrementally create your file of commands by first executing them.
M-files can be classified into following 2 categories,
(iii)

Script M-files Main file contains commands and from which functions can
also be called.

(iv)

Function M-files Function file that contains function command at the first line
of the M-file

M-files to be created by you should be placed in your default directory. The M-files
developed can be loaded into the work space by just typing the M-file name.
To load and run a M-file named ybus.m in the workspace.
>>ybus
These M-files of commands must be given the file extension of .m. However M-files
are not limited to being a series of commands that you dont want to type at the MATLAB
window, they can also be used to create user defined function. It turns out that a MATLAB tool
box is usually nothing more than a grouping of M-files that someone created to perform a special
type of analysis like control system design and power system analysis. Any of the matlab
commands (eg: sqrt) is really an M-file.
One of the more generally useful matlab tool boxes is simulink a drag and-drop
dynamic system simulation environment. This will be used extensively in laboratory, forming
the heart of the computer aided control system design (CACSD) methodology that is used.
>>simulink
At the matlab prompt type simulink and brings up the Simulink Library Browser. Each
of the items in the Simulink Library Browser are the top level of a hierarchy of palette of
elements that you can add to a simulink model of your own creation. At this time expand the

simulink pallete as it contains the majority of the elements you will use in this course.
Simulink has built into it a variety of integration algorithm for integrating the dynamic
equations. You can place the dynamic equations of your system into simulink in four ways.
1

Using integrators

1. Using transfer functions.

2. Using state space equations.
3. Using S- functions (the most versatile approach)
Once you have the dynamics in place you can apply inputs from the sources palettes
and look at the results in the sinks palette.
Finally the most important MATLAB features are its help. At the MATLAB Prompt
simply typing helpdesk gives you access to searchable help as well as all the MATLAB manuals.
>>helpdesk
To get the details about the command name sqrt, just type
>>help sqrt
Where sqrt is the command name and you will get pretty good description in the
MATLAB window as follows.
/SQRT Square root.
SQRT(X) is the square root of the elements of X. Complex
results are produced if X is not positive.
See also SQRTM.
Overloaded methods
help sym/sqrt.m
1.3

MATLAB WORKSPACE

The workspace is the window where you execute MATLAB commands (Ref. figure-1).
The best way to probe the workspace is to type whos. This command shows you all the
variables that are currently in workspace. You should always change working directory to an
appropriate location under your user name.

Another useful workspace-like command is

>>clear all
It eliminates all the variables in your workspace. For example start MATLAB and execute
the following sequence of commands
>>a=2;
>>b=5;
>>whos
>>clear all
The first two commands loaded the two variables a and b to the workspace and assigned
value of 2 and 5 respectively. The clear all command clear the variables available in the work
space. The arrow keys are real handy in MATLAB. When typing in long expression at the
command line, the up arrow scrolls through previous commands and down arrow advances the
other direction. Instead of retyping a previously entered command just hit the up arrow until you
find it.
If you need to change it slightly the other arrows let you position the cursor anywhere.
Finally any DOS command can be entered in MATLAB as long as it is preceded by any
exclamination mark.
>>!dir
1.4

MATLAB Data Types

The most distinguishing aspect of MATLAB is that it allows the user to manipulate
vectors (like 5+j8) and matrices with the same ease as manipulating scalars (like5,8). Before
diving into the actual commands everybody must spend a few moments reviewing the main
MATLAB data types. The three most common data types you may see are,
1) arrays
2) strings
3) structures.
As for as MATLAB is concerned a scalar is also a 1 x 1 array. For example clear your
workspace and execute the commands.

>>a=4.2:
>>A=[1 4;6 3];
>>whos
Two things should be evident. First MATLAB distinguishes the case of a variable name
and that both a and A are considered arrays. Now lets look at the content of A and a.
>>a
>>A
Again two things are important from this example. First anybody can examine the
contents of any variables simply by typing its name at the MATLAB prompt. Second, when
typing in a matrix space between elements separate columns, whereas semicolon separate rows.
For practice create the matrix in your workspace by typing it in all the MATLAB prompt.
>>B= [3 0 -1; 4 4 2;7 2 11];
(use semicolon(;) to represent the end of a row)
>>B
Arrays can be constructed automatically. For instance to create a time vector where
the time points start at 0 seconds and go up to 5 seconds by increments of 0.001

>>mytime =0:0.001:5;
Automatic construction of arrays of all ones can also be created as follows,
>>myone=ones (3,2)
Note:
Any MATLAB command can be terminated by a semicolon, which suppressed any
echo information to the screen.

1.5

Scalar versus Array Mathematical Operation

Since MATLAB treats everything as an array, you can add matrices as easily as

scalars.
Example:
>>clear all
>> a=4;
>> A=7;
>>alpha=a+A;
>>b= [1 2; 3 4];
>>B= [6 5; 3 1];
>>beta=b+B
Of course cannot violate the rules of matrix algebra which can be understood from the following
example.
>>clear all
>>b=[1 2;3 4];
>>B=[6 7];
>>beta=b*B
In contrast to matrix algebra rules, the need may arise to divide, multiply, raise to
a power one vector by another, element by element. The typical scalar commands are used for
this +,-,/, *, ^ except you put a . in front of the scalar command. That is, if you need to
multiply the elements of [1 2 3 4] by [6 7 8 9], just type...

>>[1 2 3 4].*[6 7 8 9]
1.6

Conditional Statements

Like most Programming languages, MATLAB supports a variety of conditional

statements and looping statements. To explore these simply type

>>help if
>>help for
>>help while
Example :
>>if z=0
>>y=0
>>else
>>y=1/z
>>end
Looping :
>>for n=1:2:10
>>s=s+n^2
>>end
- Yields the sum of 1^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+9^2
1.7

PLOTTING

MATLABs potential in visualizing data is pretty amazing. One of the nice features is
that with the simplest of commands you can have quite a bit of capability.
Graphs can be plotted and can be saved in different formulas.
>>clear all
>>t=0:10:360;
>>y=sin (pi/180 * t);
To see a plot of y versus t simply type,
>>plot(t,y)

To add label, legend, grid and title use

>>xlabel (Time in sec);

>>ylabel (Voltage in volts)
>>title (Sinusoidal O/P);
>>legend (Signal);
The commands above provide the most plotting capability and represent several
shortcuts to the low-level approach to generating MATLAB plots, specifically the use of handle
graphics. The helpdesk provides access to a pdf manual on handle graphics for those really
interested in it.
1.8

Functions

As mentioned earlier, a M-file can be used to store a sequence of commands or a userdefined function. The commands and functions that comprise the new function must be put in a
file whose name defines the name of the new function, with a filename extension of '.m'.A
function is a generalized input/output device. That is you can give some input.(arguments) and
provides some output. MATLAB functions allow you much capability to expand MATLABs
usefulness. We will just touch on function here as you may find them beneficial later.
We will start by looking at the help on functions :
>>help function
We will create our own function that given an input matrix returns a vector containing
the admittance matrix(y) of given impedance matrix(z)
z=[5 2 4;
1 4 5]

as input, the output would be,

y=[0.2 0.5 0.25;

1

0.25 0.2] which is the reciprocal of each elements.

To perform the same name the function admin and noted that admin must be stored in a
function M-file named admin.m. Using an editor, type the following commands and save as
admin.m.
admin.m :

function y = admin(z)
y = 1./z
return
Simply call the function admin from the workspace as follows,
>>z=[5 2 4;
1 4 5]
>>admin(z)
The output will be,
ans = 0.2 0.5
1

0.25

0.25 0.2

Otherwise the same function can be called for any times from any script file provided the
function M-file is available in the current directory.
With this introduction anybody can start programming in MATLAB and can be
updated themselves by using various commands and functions available. Concerned with the
Power System Simulation Laboratory, initially solve the Power System Problems manually,
list the expressions used in the problem and then build your own MATLAB program or function.

Theory:
A typical power system consists of a 3-phase grid to which all generating stations feeds
energy and from which all substations taps energy. The components of a power system are
generating stations, power transformers, transmission lines, substation, distribution transformer
and loads. The various components of power system and their interconnections are usually
represented by single line diagram. A balanced three phase system is always analyzed on per
phase basis by considering one of the three phase line and neutral. Hence it is enough if we show
one phase and neutral in the diagrammatic representation of power system. In single line
representation of power system, the components of the system are represented by standard

symbols and the transmission lines are represented by straight lines. Hence a single line diagram
is diagrammatic representation of power system in which the components are represented by
their symbols and the purpose of the one-line diagram is to supply in concise form the significant
about the system.
The electric power transmission lines are operated at very high voltage levels and
transmits large amount of power. Hence the operating voltage of transmission line is expressed
in kilovolt (KV) and power transmitted in kilowatt or mega watt(MW) and kilovolt
ampere(KVA). The per unit value of any quantity is defined as the ratio of the actual value of the
quantity to the base value expressed as decimal. The ratio in percent 100times the value in per
unit
Per unit value =

actual value
base value

The power system requires the base value of four quantities and they are voltage, power,
current and impedance selection of base values for any two of them determines the base values
of the remaining two.
The impedance of a device or component is usually specified in per unit on the bases of
name plate rating. When a system is formed by interconnecting various devices, it will be
convenient for analysis if the impedances are converted to common base. Since all impedance in
any one part of a system must be expressed on the common impedance base.
Equivalent circuit of components of power system:
The equivalent circuit of a power system is needed to perform analysis like load flow
analysis, fault level calculations etc. it can be obtained from the equivalent circuit of the
components of the power system. The various components of power system are generator,
transformer, transmission line, induction motor, synchronous motor, resistive and reactive loads.
The equivalent circuits of various electrical machines developed in electrical machine theory can
be used in power system modeling with or without approximations.
Equivalent circuit of generator:
It consists of a source representing induced emf per phase, a series reactance representing
the armature reactance and leakage reactance and a series resistance representing the armature
winding resistance.
Equivalent circuit of synchronous motor:
The synchronous motor is similar to generator in construction, but it performs the reverse
action of the generator. Therefore the direction of current in motor is opposite to that of
generator.

Equivalent circuit of transformer:

It consist of shunt branches to represent magnetizing current and core loss, series
resistance representing. Winding resistance referred to primary and the resistance representing
leakage reactance refereed to primary. The three phase transformer is represented by its single
phase equivalent circuit.
The resistive and reactive loads can be represented in the equivalent circuit by any of following
1. Constant power representation
2. constant current representation
3. Constant impedance representation
In constant power representation, the load active power (MW) and reactive power (MVAr)
are considered to be constant. This method of representation will be useful in load flow studies.
In constant current representation the magnitude of the load current is considered as constant.
The constant current of the load can be calculated from the specified voltage, active and reactive
power of the load.
Three winding transformer:
In addition to the primary and secondary windings, the transformer may be constructed with
a third winding called tertiary winding. In three winding transformer, the two winding are
connecting in star and one winding in delta or two winding in delta and one winding is star. The
purpose of providing the tertiary winding is the following
1. To get supply voltage for the substation auxiliary devices. The auxiliary devices may
work at voltage different from those of the primary and secondary winding
2. Static capacitors or synchronous condenser may be connected to the tertiary winding for
reactive power injection into the system for voltage control
3. A delta connected tertiary reduces the impedance offered to the zero sequence currents
there by allowing a large earth-fault current to flow for proper protection of protective
equipments. Further it limits voltage imbalance when the load is unbalanced. It also
permits the third harmonic current to flow thereby reducing third harmonic voltages. For
the reasons the tertiary winding also called as stabilization winding
4. Three windings may be used for interconnection three transmission line at different
voltage.
5. Tertiary can serve the purpose of measuring voltage of an HV testing transformer
In three winding transformers, the three winding may have different KVA rating. The impedance
of each winding of a three winding may be given in pu calculated by using their own winding

rating as bases. But while representing in reactance/impedance diagram it is necessary to convert

the pu reactance to a common base
Impedance and reactance diagram:
The impedance or reactance diagram of a power system is the equivalent circuit of the
power system in which the various components of the power system are represented by their
approximate or simplified equivalent circuits. This equivalent circuit of power system is used to
analyze the performance of a system under load condition or to analyze the condition of the
system under fault.
Impedance diagram:
The impedance of a power system diagram is used for load flow studies. The impedance
diagram can be obtained from the single line diagram by replacing all the components of the
power system by their single phase equivalent circuit. The following approximations are made
while forming impedance diagram.
i.
The current limiting impedances connected between the generator neutral and ground
are neglected since under balanced conditions no current flows through neutral.
ii.
Since the magnetizing current of a transformer is very low when compared to load
current the shunt branches in the equivalent circuit of the transformer can be
neglected.
iii.
If the inductive reactance of a component is very high when compared to resistance
then the resistance can be omitted, which introduce a little error in calculations.
Reactance diagram:
The reactance diagram is used for fault conditions. The following approximations are made in
constructing reactance diagram,
1. The neutral to ground impedance of the generator is neglected for symmetrical faults.
2. Shunt branches in the equivalent circuits of transformer are neglected.
3. The resistance in the equivalent circuits of various components of the system is omitted.
4. All static loads are neglected.
5. Induction motors are neglected in computing fault occurs, because the current contributed
by an induction motor dies out very quickly after the induction motor is short-circuited
6. The capacitance of the transmission lines is neglected.
The reactance diagram can obtained from impedance diagram if we obtain omit all static
loads, all resistances, shunt branches of transformer and capacitance of transmission line in the
impedance diagram. The impedance and reactance diagram obtained from the above

approximation are also called positive sequence impedance diagram and positive sequence
reactance diagram.
The impedance or reactance of various components of power system in a single line diagram
are expressed in percentage value or per unit calculated by taking their rating as base value.
When the impedance or reactance diagram is formed, all the impedance or reactance should be
expressed in per unit calculated on a common base value. Hence it is necessary tot convert all the
pu value reactance to a common base. The conversion of per unit reactance from one base to
another can be performed using equation

VIVA QUESTIONS
1. What is the need for base values?
The components of various sections of power system may operate at different voltage and
power levels. It will be convenient for analysis of power system if the voltage, power, current
and impedance ratings of components of power system are expressed with reference to a
common value called base value. Hence for analysis purpose of a base value is chosen for
voltage, power, current and impedance. Then all the voltage, power, current and impedance
ratings of the components are expressed as percent or per unit of base value.
2. What is single line diagram?
A single line diagram is a diagrammatic representation of power system in which the
components are represented by their symbols and the interconnection between there are shown
by a single straight line. The ratings and impedances of the components are also marked on the
single line diagram.
3. Define per unit value
The per unit value of any quantity is defined as the ratio of the value of the quantity to the
base value expressed as a decimal. The base value is an arbitrary chosen value of quantity.
Per unit value=

4.Write the equation for converting the p.u. impedance expressed in one base to another?

Zpu,new=Zpu,old ,

,
,

5.What are the advantages of per unit computations?

Manufacturers usually specify the impedance of a device or machine in per unit on

the base of the name plate rating.
The p.u. impedance of a 3-phase transformer is independent of the type of winding
connection.
The p.u. values of widely different rating machines lie within a narrow range,
eventhough the ohmic values has a very large range.
The p.u. impedance of circuit element connected by transformers expressed on a
proper base will be same if it is referred to either side of a transformer.

Result:
The per unit quantities for the given power system network and the reactance diagram of the
network was obtained using MATLAB program.

Theory:
The power system is a large and complex network, which consists of a number of
elements such as generators, transformers, transmission lines, controllers and switching devices.
Network analysis or power system analysis requires the development of network equation in a
form of network matrix. Through the primitive network describes the characteristic of individual
elements it does not provide information about network characteristics such as connections
therefore we require transforming the primitive network characteristics such as connection.
Therefore we require transforming the primitive network matrices into net-work matrices.
Network matrices can be developed either in the bus frame, branch frame or loop frame of
reference. In these frame of reference network matrices can be written as

Vbus = Zbus*Ibus
In the above equation, the Vbus matrix contains bus voltages, Ibus matrix represents injected
currents into the buses and Zbus is known as bus impedance matrix for an n-bus power system.

The dimensions of these matrices are nx1, nx1 and nxn respectively the network equations in
admittance from can be written as

Ibus=Ybus*Zbus
Where Ybus =Z-1bus
In the loop frame of reference
Vloop denotes the basic loop voltages, Iloop represents the basic loop currents and Zloop is the loop
impedance matrix. In the admittance form, network equations can be written as.

Iloop = Yloop Vloop where Yloop = Z-1loop

The size of matrices in the network equation based on loop frame depends on the number of
basic loops or links.
Finally the performance equation can be written in branch frame as:

VBr = ZBr IBr (or)

IBr = YBr VBr where YBr=Z-1Br
Here VBr and YBr represent branch voltage and currents. ZBr and YBr represent branch
impedance and branch admittance matrix respectively. The dimensions of theses matrices depend
upon the number of branches in a graph of a given power system network. However, the bus
frame of reference has emerged as an important frame of reference for developing power system
network performance equations, as in evident, from recent literature. Studies on power systems
like short circuit studies and power flow studies are performed by using either the ZBus or the
YBus. This frame of reference has advantage like computational convenience and reduced
computer memory requirements.
Bus admittance matrix for an n-bus power system is a square matrix of size nxn. The
leading diagonal elements represent the self or short circuit driving point admittance with respect
to each bus. The off-diagonal elements are the short circuit transfer admittance or the
admittances common to any two buses.

YBus can be obtained through the following methods:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Direct inspection method

Step by step procedure
Singular transformation method
Non-singular transformation method

Formation of YBus by direct inspection matrix method is suitable for small networks. In this
network method the YBus matrix is developed by simply inspecting the structure of the network
without developing any kind of equations
In a power flow studies, generators are represented as complex power source that is they are
represented by a complex number SGi as:

SGi = PGi + jQGi

where SGi is complex power generator at the tth bus.
The step by step procedure is a general purpose computer algorithm and is similar to the
direct inspection method. In the case of elements having mutual admittances, YBus can be
conveniently developed by either singular or non-singular transformation methods. These tow
methods are based on the graph theory discussed in and use of primitive admittance matrix,
whenever network changes are taking place such as outage of lines or addition of lines YBus need
to be modified. These methods can be easily coded and are quite useful for obtaining the
modified YBus.
Singular transformation method uses the singular bus incident matrix A. the equation for
Ybus in terms of matrix A is :

YBus = AT [Y] A
The method is known as singular transformation method as the matrix A is a singular
matrix. The matrix Y is a primitive admittance matrix. Non-singular transformation method uses
the augmented incidence square matrices.

YBus = Z-1Bus = [PT ZBr P]-1

Where P is the branch path incidence matrix and ZBr is the branch admittance matrix.

SGi = PGi + jQGi

PGi, QGi is active and reactive power generated at the tth bus. Loads are represented by a complex
number SDi as:

SDi = PDi + jQDi

where,
SDi is complex power demand/load at the tth bus. PDi, QDi is active and reactive power
demanded at the tth bus.
It may be seen that SGi abd SDi denote the local power generation and load respectively at
the i bus. Si is the difference of SGi and SDi. Therefore
th

Si = Pi +jQi = SGi SDi = (PGi PDi) + j(QGi QDi)

Si, Pi,Qi are complex power, active power and reactive power respectively injected at the ith bus.

FORMATION OF YBUS BY SINGLUAR TRANSFORMATION

METHOD
Aim:
To develop a matlab program and to obtain the bus admittance matrix of the given power
system by singular transformation method when there is
a) No coupling between the lines
b) Coupling between the lines
Software Required:
MATLAB 7.5 Version
Formula:
Ybus a Yp a

Where,
[a]
[Yp]
[a]T

bus incidence matrix

primitive admittance matrix
transpose of bus incidence matrix

Theory:
The power system is a large and complex network, which consists of a number of
elements such as generators, transformers, transmission lines, controllers and switching devices.
Network analysis or power system analysis requires the development of network equation in a
form of network matrix. Through the primitive network describes the characteristic of individual
elements it does not provide information about network characteristics such as connections
therefore we require transforming the primitive network characteristics such as connection.
Therefore we require transforming the primitive network matrices into net-work matrices.
Network matrices can be developed either in the bus frame, branch frame or loop frame of
reference. In these frame of reference network matrices can be written as
Vbus = Zbus*Ibus
In the above equation, the Vbus matrix contains bus voltages, I bus matrix represents injected
currents into the buses and Zbus is known as bus impedance matrix for an n-bus power system.
The dimensions of these matrices are nx1, nx1 and nxn respectively the network equations in
admittance from can be written as
Ibus=Ybus*Zbus

Where Ybus =Z-1bus

In the loop frame of reference
Vloop denotes the basic loop voltages, Iloop represents the basic loop currents and Zloop is the loop
impedance matrix. In the admittance form, network equations can be written as.
Iloop = Yloop Vloop where Yloop = Z-1loop
The size of matrices in the network equation based on loop frame depends on the number of
basic loops or links.
Finally the performance equation can be written in branch frame as:
VBr = ZBr IBr (or)
IBr = YBr VBr where YBr=Z-1Br
Here VBr and YBr represent branch voltage and currents. ZBr and YBr represent branch
impedance and branch admittance matrix respectively. The dimensions of theses matrices depend
upon the number of branches in a graph of a given power system network. However, the bus
frame of reference has emerged as an important frame of reference for developing power system
network performance equations, as in evident, from recent literature. Studies on power systems
like short circuit studies and power flow studies are performed by using either the ZBus or the
YBus.
Bus admittance matrix for an n-bus power system is a square matrix of size nxn. The
leading diagonal elements represent the self or short circuit driving point admittance with respect
to each bus. The off-diagonal elements are the short circuit transfer admittance or the
admittances common to any two buses.
YBus can be obtained through the following methods:
1. Direct inspection method
2. Step by step procedure
3. Singular transformation method
4. Non-singular transformation method
Formation of YBus by direct inspection matrix method is suitable for small networks. In this
network method the YBus matrix is developed by simply inspecting the structure of the network
without developing any kind of equations
In a power flow studies, generators are represented as complex power source that is they are
represented by a complex number SGi as:
SGi = PGi + jQGi
Where SGi is complex power generator at the ith bus.

The step by step procedure is a general purpose computer algorithm and is similar to the
direct inspection method. In the case of elements having mutual admittances, YBus can be
conveniently developed by either singular or non-singular transformation methods. These two
methods are based on the graph theory discussed in and use of primitive admittance matrix,
whenever network changes are taking place such as outage of lines or addition of lines YBus need
to be modified. These methods can be easily coded and are quite useful for obtaining the
modified YBus.
Singular transformation method uses the singular bus incident matrix A. the equation for
Ybus in terms of matrix A is :
YBus = AT [Y] A
The method is known as singular transformation method as the matrix A is a singular
matrix. The matrix Y is a primitive admittance matrix. Non-singular transformation method uses
the augmented incidence square matrices.
YBus = Z-1Bus = [PT ZBr P]-1
Where P is the branch path incidence matrix and ZBr is the branch admittance matrix.
SGi = PGi + jQGi
PGi, QGi is active and reactive power generated at the ith bus. Loads are represented by a complex
number SDi as:
SDi = PDi + jQDi
where,
SDi is complex power demand/load at the tth bus. PDi, QDi is active and reactive power
demanded at the ith bus.
It may be seen that SGi abd SDi denote the local power generation and load respectively at
the ith bus. Si is the difference of SGi and SDi. Therefore
Si = Pi +jQi = SGi SDi = (PGi PDi) + j( QGi QDi)
Si, Pi,Qi are complex power, active power and reactive power respectively injected at the ith bus.

Theory:
The analysis of unsymmetrical polyphase network by the method of symmetrical
components was introduced by Dr. C. Fortesque. He proved that an unbalanced system of n
related vectors can be resolve into n system of balanced vectors called symmetrical components
of original vectors. The n vectors of each set of components are equal in length and the phase
angles between adjacent vectors of the set are equal.
In a three phase system, the three unbalanced vectors can be resolved into three balanced
system of vectors. The vector of the balanced system is called symmetrical components of the
original system.
The symmetrical components of three phase systems are
1. Positive sequence components
2. Negative sequence components
3. Zero sequence components.
The positive sequence components consists of three vectors equal in magnitude,
displaced from each other by 120 degree in phase and having the same phase sequence as the
original vectors.
The negative sequence components consists of three vectors equal in magnitude
displaced from each other by 120 degree in phase, and having the phase sequence opposite to
that of the original vectors.
The zero sequence components consist of three equal vectors in magnitude and with zero phase
displacement from each other.
Let Va,Vb and Vc be the set of unbalanced voltage vectors with phase sequence abc. Each
voltage vector can be resolved in positive, negative and zero sequence components. Let Va1, Vb1
and Vc1 positive sequence components of Va,Vb and Vc respectively with phase sequence abc.
Va2, Vb2, Vc2 negative sequence components of Va, Vb, and Vc respectively with phase sequence
acb. Va0, Vb0 and Vc0 zero sequence components of Va, Vb and Vc respectively.

From the vector diagram of symmetrical components the following conclusion are made:
1. On rotating the vector Va1 by 120 degree in anticlockwise direction we get Vb1
2. On rotating the vector Va1 by 240 degree in anticlockwise direction we get Vc1
3. On rotating the vector Va2 by 120 degree in anticlockwise direction we get Vc1
4. On rotating the vector Va2 by 240 degree in anticlockwise direction we get Vb2
Therefore on rotating the symmetrical components of one vector by 120 degree or multiples
of 120 degree we get the symmetrical components of other vectors. Hence we can define an
operator which causes a rotation of 120 degree in the anticlockwise direction; such an operator is
denoted by the letter a.

The operator a is defining as.

a
=1
=1+ ej2/3
= Cos (2/3)+j Sin (2/3)
=0.5 + j0.866
since
a2 = -0.5-j0.866
a3
=1
Therefore 1+a2+a3=1 + (-0.5+j0.866) + (-0.5-j0.866) =0

Symmetrical components of unbalanced current vectors:The symmetrical components of unbalance current vectors can be obtained by an analysis
similar to that of voltage vectors. All the equations developed for voltages can be used for
current if we replace V by I. Let Ia, Ib, Ic unbalanced current vectors with phase sequence abc. Ia1,
Ib1, Ic1 positive sequence components of Ia, Ib, and Ic respectively with phase sequence abc. Ia2, Ib2
and Ic2 negative sequence components of Ia, Ib, and Ic respectively with phase sequence acb. Ia0,
Ib0, and Ico zero sequence components of Ia, Ib, and Ic.
Computation of unbalanced vectors from their symmetrical components:Each of the original unbalanced vectors is the sum of its positive, negative and zero
sequence components. Therefore the original unbalanced three phase voltage vectors can be
expressed in term of their components as shown below

Va = Va0 + Va1 + Va2

Vb = Vb0 + Vb1 + Vb2
Vc = Vc0 + Vc1 + Vc2
Vb0 = Va0

Vb1 = a2Va1
Va = Va0 + Va1 + Va2
Vb = Va0 +a2Va1 +aVa2
Vc = Va0 +aVa1 +a2Va2

Vb2 = aVa2

The above can be arranged in the matrix from as below

0

1
[+ ] = 3 [1

2 ] [ ]

The equation can be used to compute the unbalanced voltage vectors from the knowledge of
symmetrical components. Transformation from phase quantities to symmetrical components in
MATLAB is very easy. Once the symmetrical components transformation matrix A is defined its
inverse is found using the MATLAB function inv. However, for quick calculations and graphical
demonstration the following functions are developed for symmetrical component analysis.
Sctm- The symmetrical components transformation matrix A is defined in this script file. Typing
sctm defines A.Phasor (F) this function makes plots of phasors. The rectangular complex form or
as an nx2 matrix. In the later case, the first column is the phasor magnitude and the second
column is its phase angle in degree.
Fabc= SC2abc (F012) this function returns the unbalanced phasor in rectangular form when
symmetrical components are specified. F012 may array in rectangular complex form or as a 3x2
matrix. In the later case, the first column is the phasor magnitude and the second column is its
phasor magnitude and second column is its phase angle in degree for the zero-positive and
negative sequence components. In addition the function produces a plot of the unbalanced
phasors and its symmetrical components.

SYMMETRICAL FAULT ANALYSIS

Aim:
To write a MATLAB program, to study the symmetrical three phase fault analysis for the
given power system by bus impedance matrix method.

Software used:
MATLAB 7.5 version

Formula Used:
a. Fault Current, If =

b. Fault Voltage, Vf = (1

where Zf Fault impedance

Zpp Line impedance

Theory:
Short circuits and other abnormal conditions often occur on a power system. Short
circuits are usually called faults by power system engineers. Some defects, other than short
circuits are also termed as faults.
Faults are caused either by insulation failures or by conducting path failures. The failure
of insulation results in short circuits which are very harmful as they may damage some
equipment of the power system. Most of the faults in transmission and distribution lines are
caused by over voltages due to lightning or switching surges, or by external conducting objects
falling on overhead lines. Overvoltages due to lightning or switching surges cause flashover on
the surface of insulators resulting in short circuits. Short circuits are also caused by tree branches
or other conducting objects falling on the overhead lines.

The fault impedance being low, the fault currents are relatively high. The fault currents
being excessive, they damage the faulty equipment and the supply installation. Also, the system
voltage may reduce to a low level, windings and bus bars may suffer mechanical damage due to
high magnetic forces during faults and the individual generators in a power station or group of
generators in different power stations may loose synchronism. The symmetrical fault occurs
when all the three conductors of a three-phase line are brought together simultaneously into a
shortcircuit condition as shown in Figure 1.

Fig 1. Symmetrical Fault on Three-Phase system

This type of fault gives rise to symmetrical currents i.e. equal fault currents with 120 0
displacement. Thus referring to Figure 1, fault currents IA, IB and IC will be equal in magnitude with 1200
displacement among them. Because of balanced nature of fault, only one phase needs to be considered in
calculations since condition in the other two phases will also be similar.
A three-phase short circuit occurs rarely but it is most severe type of fault involving largest
currents. For this reason, the balanced short-circuit calculations are performed to determine these
large currents to be used to determine the rating of the circuit breakers.

Algorithm:
Step 1: Read line data, machine data, transformer data, fault impedance etc.
Step 2: Compute [Ybus] matrix and calculate [Ybus]modified.
Step 3: Form [Zbus] by inverting the [Ybus] modified.
Step 4: Initialize count I = 0.
Step 5: Find the bus at which fault occurs I=I+1.
Step 6: Compute fault current at faulted bus and bus voltage at all buses.
Step 7: Compute all line and generator currents.
Step 8: Check if I< number of buses, if yes goes to step 5 else go to step 9.
Step 9: Print the results and stop the program.

Theory:

unequal. The different types of unsymmetrical faults are
1.
2.
3.
4.

Single line to ground fault

Line to line fault
Double line to ground fault
One or two open conductor fault

Since any unsymmetrical faults cause unbalanced currents to flow in the system, the
unsymmetrical faults are analyses using symmetrical components. The concepts of symmetrical
components and sequence network developed in used for the analysis of unsymmetrical faults.
Unsymmetrical faults on power system
The unsymmetrical faults on the power system are analyzed using thevenins equivalent
of positive, negative and zero sequence network of the power system. The thevenins equivalent
is obtained with respect to fault point and reference.
In power system the prefault voltage and current are assumed to be balanced. Hence the
prefault voltage at the fault points is balanced voltage and so it has only positive sequence
component. The negative and zero sequence components of prefault voltage at the fault point is
zero. Therefore the prefault voltage at the fault point is thevenins voltage of positive sequence
network.
Let
Z1

= thevenins impedance of positive sequence network

Z2

= thevenins impedance of negative sequence network

Z0

=thevenins impedance of zero sequence network

Thevenins equivalent of positive, negative and zero sequence networks of the power system
with respect to fault point will be respectively

The matrix equation will be useful in the analyses of unsymmetrical faults on the power system.
Single line to ground fault on a power system:The single line to ground fault on a power system can be represented by connecting three
stubs on the three transmission lines. The voltage and current under this fault condition is given
by, Ib=0, Ic=0, Va=0 are same as that of single line to ground fault on a single on a single
generator. The relation of symmetrical components must also have the same solution except that
Vpf replaces Ea, this for a line to ground fault.
Ia1 = Ia2 = Ia0 =Ia3 and Ia1 = (Vpf)/(Z1+Z2+Z0)
In the two equations indicates that the three sequence network should be connected in
series through the fault point in order simulate a single line to ground fault.
Line to Line fault on a power system
The line to line fault on a power system can be represented by connecting three stubs on
the three transmission lines. The following relation exist at the fault
Vb = Vc, Ia = 0, Ib = -IC
The voltage and current under this fault condition is given by equation are same as that of a line
to line fault on an isolated generator discussed in, the hence for a line to line fault. Va1=Va2
Ia1 = Vpf/(Z1+Z2)
The equation indicates that the positive and negative sequence network should be connected in
parallel at the fault point in order to simulate a line to line fault.

Double line to ground fault on a power system

The double line to ground fault on a power system can be represented by connecting three stubs
on the three transmission lines. The following relation must at the fault.
Vb = Vc=0; Ia=0
The voltage and current under this fault condition as shown are same as that of a double line to
ground fault on a isolated generator discussed section. Hence, for a double line to ground fault.
Va1= Va2 = v1ao. . .(or)
Ia1=Vpf/(Z1+ (Z2Z0/(Z2+Z0)

fault point in order to simulate a double line to ground fault.

THEORY:
The gauss seidal method is an iterative algorithm for solving a set of non-linear load flow
equation. The non-linear lad flow equation are given by

When p=1,2,3...n and this equation is presented here for convenience. The variable in the
equation obtained from the VP=1,2,3n are the node voltage V1, V2... Vn. in gauss seidal
method is initial values of voltage are assumed and they are denoted as V10, V20, V30. On
substituting the initial value in equation and by taking P=1. The revised by value of bus-1
voltage V1 is replaced for initial value V10 and the revised bus-2 voltage v2 is computed. Now
voltage the V1 for V10 and V2 for V20 and performs the calculation for bus-3 and so on. The
process of computing all the voltage as explained above is called one iteration. The iterative
process is then repeated till the bus voltage converges with in prescribed accuracy. The
convergence of bus voltage is quite sensitive to the initial value assumed. Based on practical
experience it is easier to get of initial voltages very close to final solution.
In view of the above discussion the load flow equation can be written in the modified
from as shown below

Ypq VqK+1 VpK ]
Ypp (VpK )+

Where
ViK

= Kth iteration value of bus voltage Vi

ViK+1

= (K +1) th iteration value of bus voltage Vi

In the equation to compute the (K+1)th iteration values of voltages are used for all buses
is than P and Kth iteration value of voltages are used for all buses grated than or equal to P. the
equation is applicable for load bus. Since in load bus voltage changes in both magnitude and
phase voltage are allowed but is generator bus the magnitude of voltage remains constant and so
the equation is used to calculate the phase of the voltage.
It is important to note that the slack bus is reference bus and so its voltage will not
change. Therefore in each iteration the slack bus voltage is not modified. For a generator bus, the
reactive power is not specified. Therefore in order to calculate the phase of bus voltage and
admittance shown.

Economic Load Dispatch

Aim:
To write a MATLAB program to determine the economic load schedule for the given
power system units.

Software used:
MATLAB 7.5 Version.

Formula used:
PD
1. =

2. PGi =

i=1 2

i=1 2i
- i
2i

3. PD new = PD old - (sum of fixed values)

where,

PGi - Generating power in MW

PD - Demand power in MW
- Legrange multiplier.

4.

PGi = PD

Theory:
The purpose of economic load dispatch on optimal dispatch is to reduced the fuel cost for
the power system by economic load scheduling. We mean to find the generation of different
generator on plant. So that the fuel cost is minimum and the same time, the total demand and
losses at any instant must be the net of total generation. The economic dispatch problem involves
the solution of the two different problems went commitment and online dispatch.

In a power system with negligible transmission loss and N number of spinning thermal
generating units. The total system load Po at a particular interval can be the net of different set of
the generation schedule.
The system operation has to choose the total set of schedule with minimize the system
operation cost which is essentially the sum of the production cost all the generating units. This
economic dispatch problem is mathematically stated as an optimization problem
PGi min PGi max
The unit producti0oon cost function is usually approximated by a quadratic function.
Fi(PGi) = aiPGi2 + bi PGi + Ci
Where ai, bi, ci are constants
The saturation to the economic load dispatch problem with production cost. Function is
assumed to be close so that the fuel cost is minimum and at the same time the total demand must
be the net of the total part of economic dispatch towards the performance of the net of the total
generation.
