INTRODUCTION
• A power system is composed of
• Generation system
• Transmission system
• Distribution system
• Loads
• Generation is done at a much lower voltage (11 kV)
• To improve efficiency, transmission is carried out at higher
voltages(66 kV /132 kV)
INTRODUCTION
• Power transformers are used to step up the voltage levels
• Transmission system consists of transformers, transmission
towers and lines
• Thereafter, voltage levels are reduced in stages
• Distribution system supplies power to different loads
• Thus power system network is large, complex and very
expensive
INTRODUCTION
• Power system analysis deals with analysis of problems
associated with power network
• Power Flow Analysis, Short Circuit Analysis and Transient
Stability Study are the main Power System Analysis Problems
POWER SYSTEM MODELLING
• Power system modeling is creating a model of the electric grid
including all its components and their characteristics so that
studies of the system can be performed.
• An electric grid’s components include generators, power lines,
substations, reclosers, voltage regulators, transformers, loads,
and several other components.
• These components have impedances, power ratings,
capacities, etc. which are all inputted into the computer model.
POWER SYSTEM MODELLING
After all this information is inputted, various studies are done
such as
• power flow analysis which determines how much power flows
out of a generator or substation
• If a fault occurs, will it be isolated or will it take down the entire
grid which means no customer will receive power
• Power systems engineers create the model to perform these
and other studies
APPROACH TO POWER SYSTEM
MODELING
Equivalent circuits are used, namely:
• Impedance diagram
• Reactance diagram
IMPEDANCE DIAGRAM AND
APPROXIMATIONS
• The impedance diagram is the equivalent circuit of power
system in which the various components of power system are
represented by their approximate or simplified equivalent
circuits.
• The impedance diagram is used for load flow studies.
APPROXIMATIONS
• The neutral reactances are neglected
• The shunt branches in equivalent circuit of transformers are
neglected
Reactance diagram and
approximations
• The reactance diagram is the simplified equivalent circuit of
power system in which the various components of power
system are represented by their reactances.
• The reactance diagram can be obtained from impedance
diagram if all the resistive components are neglected.
• The reactance diagram is used for fault calculations.
APPROXIMATION
• The neutral reactances are neglected.
• The shunt branches in equivalent circuit of transformers are
neglected.
• The resistances are neglected.
• All static loads are neglected.
• The capacitance of transmission lines are neglected.

Methods of Power System
Representation
One line diagram
• A One Line diagram is the blueprint for electrical system
analysis.
• Often any diagram is simplified by omitting the completed circuit
through the neutral and by indicating the component parts by
standard symbols rather than by their equivalent circuits.
• Such a simplified diagram of an electric system is called a one-
line diagram(OLD) or single line diagram (SLD).
Methods of Power System
Representation
A typical diagram will include
• Incoming lines showing voltage and size
• Incoming main fuses, cut-outs, switches, and main breakers
• Power transformers (rating, winding connection and grounding means)
• Feeder breakers and fused switches
• Relays (function, use and type)
• Current and / or potential transformers with size, type and ratio
• Control transformers
Methods of Power System
Representation
• All main cable and wire runs with their associated isolating
switches (size and length of run)
• All substations, including integral relays and main panels with
total load of each feeder and each substation
• Critical equipment voltage and size (UPS, battery, generator,
power distribution, transfer switch, computer room air
conditioning)
Methods of Power System
Representation
• One Line diagram represents all 3-Ф of balanced system.

PER UNIT QUANTITIES
• The per unit value of any quantity is the ratio of the actual value
of any quantity to the base value of the same quantity
expressed as a decimal
• Per unit quantities are quantities that have been normalized to a
base quantity
• In general,
PER UNIT QUANTITIES
• Choice of the base value is normally a rated value which is
often one of the normal full-load operations of power
component in a power network.
• Let us look at two of the most common per unit formula which
are widely used when per unit calculations are involved
Base impedance (Zbase)
• For a given single-line (one-line) diagram of a power network, all
component parameters are expressed in 3-quantity whether it is the rating
(capacity) expressed as MVA or voltage as kV.
