Per Unit Fault Protection

Page 2

Per Unit


Problem




Computation for a power system having 2 or more voltage levels become cumbersome Need to convert currents to a different voltage level wherever they flow through a transformer

Page 3

Per Unit


Solution




A set of base values is assumed for each voltage class All values express in per unit (i.e. no dimension)

Page 4

Per Unit


To completely define a per unit system, minimum 4 base quantities are required
   

Voltage Current Impedance Power

Per Unit


General


Per Unit= Actual / Base
Vpu=Vactual / Vbase Ipu=Iactual / Ibase Zpu=Zactual / Zbase Spu=Sactual / Sbase Sbase= Vbase Ibase Vbase= Ibase Zbase

Cause of Fault Effect of Fault Fault Level

Page 16

Causes of Faults


Transient over voltages


the failure of insulation, resulting in fault current or short-circuit current.

 

Insulation aging External object
 

tree branches bird
Page 17

Effect of Fault


Equipment be damaged due to overheating or insulation breakdown
     

Generator Transformer Busbar Cable Circuit Breaker etc.
Page 18

Effect of Fault


Power System becomes unstable




Voltage Reduction for the whole power system. Frequency change


results in cascade tripping of generators.

Page 19

Type of Fault
 

Shunt Fault Series Fault

Page 20

Fault Study


 



Determine the maximum fault current for short circuit fault Determine open circuit fault Determine circuit breaker rating Determine scheme of protection

Page 21

Fault Level


The fault level is
 

the three-phase fault value expressed in MVA at the system voltage at the fault point in the system

Page 22

Fault Level Limiting


Problem


Large interconnected system




Large number of generators and thus large power rating Large fault current fed into the fault point



Solution


Reduce fault current


Increase reactance of a system
Page 23

Fault Level Limiting


Reactor arrangement


Normal condition
