Section A

Question 1

(a) Consider the power system shown in Figure Q1a. The reactance data is shown in per unit on a common base on the diagram.

For each of the following faults, compute the fault current in per unit. Assume that the fault has zero impedance.

(i)       A single line to ground fault at bus 2. For this case, also calculate the phase voltages (Ⅴabc ) at the faulted bus. [20%]

(ii)      A line to line fault at bus 3. [20%]

(iii)      A double line to ground fault at bus 2. [20%]

(b) A 50-Hz synchronous generator has a transient reactance of 0.3 per unit and an inertia constant of 4  MJ/MVA. The generator is connected to an  infinite  bus through a transformer and a transmission line, as shown in Figure Q1b. Resistances are neglected and reactances are expressed on a common MVA base and are marked on the diagram. The generator is delivering a real power of 0.9 per unit and its internal voltage magnitude is |E | =  1.05 pu. The infinite bus

voltage is vbus   = 1.0∠0° per unit.

Assume that a permanent three-phase bolted fault occurs on bus 2 and is cleared three cycles later. Draw the equal area curves. Determine the power angle δ after the three cycles, and also derive the equation for the maximum power angle. Determine the maximum value of δ. Is the

stability maintained?

Section B

Question 2

(a) In your own words, explain the difference  between adequacy of supply and security of operation concepts in power systems. Explain the challenges facing the Transmission System Operator for maintaining a required level of security of operation especially in systems with higher levels of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). [20%]

(b) Consider the circuit shown in Figure Q2. The 33/11 kV transformer has an on-load tap     changer which maintains the load voltage at 11 kV. The load consists of a fixed load (Ld )

and a price-sensitive flexible load (Lf ) which is varying (both in units of MW). The fixed load

remains at 1 MW throughout the day.

(i)       The flexible load Lf  (unit MW) is a function of the electricity price p(t) (unit in £/MWh)

as given by the following expression:

In which p(t) is always positive and t denotes the time for any hour in the day. If the   price of electricity shall remain constant at £40/MWh determine the total daily energy  loss (in units of MWh) in the 33 kV line due to both the flexible load and the base load demands. [50%]

(ii)       Propose a two-tariff Time-of-Use Demand Side Management (DSM) scheme to    reduce the total energy losses in the line. The two-tariff structure should have the following characteristics:

-    The average between off-peak and peak prices should equal the fixed rate of £40/MWh

-    The difference between peak and off-peak demand throughout the day should be reduced by 40% from the same value in part (i). [30%]
