PowerSystemLabManual Lab9

The document discusses a laboratory experiment on voltage regulation. It involves studying the effect of real and reactive power on bus voltages and understanding the operation of a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). The tasks are to vary reactive power at a bus and observe voltage impacts, and to operate a TCR model to absorb reactive power from a bus by varying a control angle.

Laboratory Experiment 9

Voltage Regulation

Objectives:

1) To study the effect of real and reactive powers on bus voltages.


2) Understanding the operation of a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR).

Laboratory Tasks and Report:

1. In the PowerWorld example VoltageRegulation.pwb, vary the reactive power consumed at


Bus 3 in a range from 300 MAVR to -300 MVAR and plot its effect on voltage magnitudes at
Buses 3 and 2. Both line MW (green arrows) and MVAR (blue arrows) are shown. Note the
direction of line MVAR flow on lines 1-3 and 2-3 as the load MVAR is changed.

The generator at bus 2 has an upper MVAR limit of +250 MVAR and a lower MVAR limit of
-200 MVAR. When does it hit the upper MVAR limit, what happens after the limit is hit (note
the bus voltage and the MVAR output of the generator at bus 2).

2. The TCR is modeled in the PSCAD/EMTDC file TCR.psc (see video clip# 12).

A TCR is a “variable reactor” which can be used in a power system to vary the amount of
inductive reactance connected to a bus.

The TCR is to be connected to a bus in a power system where it can absorb reactive power
from the bus. In the model in TCR.psc the bus is represented by a voltage source with a
resistance of 0.1 ohm. The amount of reactive power drawn by the variable reactor is controlled
by the angle “Alpha” which can be adjusted using the mouse. The MVAR is seen on the display
next to the Alpha adjustment box.

Plot the reactive output versus the angle Alpha from Alpha = 90 deg to Alpha = 180 deg. Show
the pulse plots for Alpha = 90 deg and for Alpha = 180 deg and explain how changes in the
current waveform are related to changes in reactive power.
