Chapter 2 The Per Unit System New

The document discusses the per-unit system used in power systems. It explains that the per-unit system allows comparison of different system elements by expressing all values relative to a common base. Voltage, current, impedance and other values are divided by their respective base values to obtain per-unit values. Base values are typically defined using the nominal apparent power and voltage ratings of a system or element. The per-unit system simplifies analysis of complex power systems and allows representing different system components on a common scale. An example is provided to illustrate converting impedance values to per-unit based on a selected common power and voltage base.

CHAPTER 2

The Per-Unit System

Per Unit System


In power systems there are so many different

elements such as Motors, Generators and


Transformers with very different sizes and
nominal values.
To be able to compare the performances of a
big and a small element, per unit system is
used.

Per Unit System


The voltage, current and impedance values are

divided by base values and expressed in per unit or


percentage values.

e.g. in a synchronous generator with 13.8 kV as its

nominal voltage, instead of saying the voltage is


12.42 kV, we say the voltage is 0.9 p.u.

How Are the Base Values


Defined
For an electric element, we

have : Power, Voltage, Current


and Impedance.
Usually, the nominal apparent
power (S) and nominal voltage
(V) are taken as the base
values for power and voltage.
The base values for the current
and impedance can be
calculated.

Per Unit in 3- Circuits


Simplified:

Concerns about using phase or line voltages


are removed in the per-unit system
Actual values of R, XC and XL for lines, cables,
and other electrical equipment typically phase
values.
It is convenient to work in terms of base VA
(base volt-amperes)

Per Unit System (3 Phase)


Usually, the 3-phase SB or MVAB and line-to-line VB or kVB

are selected

Change of Base
The impedance of individual generators &

transformer, are generally in terms of


percent/per unit based on their own ratings.
Impedance of transmission line ohmic value
When pieces of equipment with various
different ratings are connected to a system, it
is necessary to convert their impedances to a
per unit value expressed on the same base.

system is shown below. Select a common base
of 100 MVA and 22 kV on the generator side.
Draw an impedance diagram with all impedance
including the load impedance marked in perunit.

Per Unit Equivalent Circuit

Advantages
Give a clear idea of relative magnitudes of various

quantities, such as V, I, P & Z.


The per unit values of Z, V & I of transformer are the
same whether they are referred to the primary or
secondary side.
Ideal for the computerized analysis and simulation of
complex power system problems.
The circuit laws are valid in per unit systems, and the
power and voltage equation are simplified since the
factor 3 and 3 are eliminates in the p.u systems.
