If E <, the generator is absorbing reactive power from the bus Generators are main source of reactive power, so they are normally operated in the overexcited mode δ E Minimum excitation: when δ=δ max =90 o, i.e. the stability limit 11

Three-Phase Transformer Connections Four possible combinations: Y-Y, -, Y- and -Y Y-connection: lower insulation costs, with neutral for grounding, 3 rd harmonics problem (3 rd harmonic voltages/currents are all in phase, i.e. v an3 =v bn3 =v cn3 = m cos3ωt) -connection: more insulation costs, no neutral, providing a path for 3 rd harmonics (all triple harmonics are trapped in the loop), able to operate with only two phases (-connection) In Y-Y or - connection, H/L ratio is same for line and phase voltages Y- and -Y are commonly used as voltage step-down and step-up transformers, respectively 30
Y- and -Y Connections Y- and Y- connections will result in a phase shift of 30 o between the primary and secondary line-to-line voltages According to the American Standards Association (ASA), the windings are arranged such that the H side line voltage leads the L side line voltage by 30 o E.g. Y- Connection: YP An NY = = = N P ab a YL YP AB = = An 3 = = L P ab YL L AB = = ab 3a 31
Per-Phase Model for Y- or -Y Connection Neglect the shunt branch Replace the connection by an equivalent Y connection (Z Y =Z /3) Work with only one phase (equivalent impedances are line-to-neutral values) 3
Autotransformers The primary and secondary coils are electrically connected A conventional two-winding transformer can be changed into an autotransformers by connecting its two windings in series Secondary is either manually or automatically variable.

Three-Winding Transformers Primary (P), secondary (S) and tertiary (T) windings Typical applications: The same source supplying two independent loads at different voltages Interconnection of two transmission systems of different voltages In a substation, the tertiary winding is used to provide voltage for auxiliary power purposes or to supply a local distribution system Reactive power compensation by switched reactors or capacitors connected to the tertiary winding 37

oltage Control of Transformers oltage magnitude Reactive power flow oltage phase angle Real power flow Two commonly used methods Tap changing Transformers Regulating transformers 39
Tap Changing Transformers Practically all power transformers and many distribution transformers have taps in one or more windings for changing the turns ratio Off-load tap changing transformers Can only be adjusted when the transformer current flow has been completely interrupted Typically, 4 taps with.5% of rated voltage each tap to allow an operating range of -5% ~ +5% of rated voltage Under-load tap changing (ULTC) transformers More flexible when the transformer is in-service May have built-in voltage sensing circuitry for automatic tap changing to keep voltage constant Typically, off-load tap changers at the H side for -5% ~ +5% ULTC at the L side with 3 taps of 0.65% each for an operating range of -10% ~ +10% 40
ULTC Model I P+jQ How to adjust t S and t R to maintain 1 and at desired levels? R S ( ) = + R + jx I Since phase shift δ is small S S cosδ = + ab + de R = + IRcosθ + IXsinθ R R X = + I cosθ + I R R R R R = + R RP φ + R XQ φ sinθ t = t + S t s 1 R RP φ t R + XQ 1 RPφ + XQ = tr + 1 tr φ φ 41
Limitations of ULTC in oltage Control Normally, when the turns ratio is adjusted, the Mvar flow across the transformer is also adjusted However since a transformer itself absorbs Mvar to build its internal magnetic field, when its secondary voltage is raised via a tap change, its Mvar usage increases and its primary voltage often drops. The greater the tap change and the weaker the primary side, the greater the primary voltage drop. If the primary side is weak, the tap change may not necessarily increase the secondary voltage. Therefore, spare Mvar must be available for a tap change to be successful. An example: ±10% / 33-position ULTC (5/16x10%= +3.15% ~ 14.3k) (Neutral point: 0% ~ 138k) (+10% ~ 151.8k) 4 (Source: EPRI Dynamic Tutorial)

The Per-Unit System Quantity in per-unit = Actual quantity / Base value of quantity Why per-unit system? Neglecting different voltage levels of transformers, lines and generators Powers, voltages, currents and impedances are expressed as decimal fractions of respective base quantities A minimum of four base quantities are required to completely define a per-unit system S pu S S = pu B = pu B I I I = pu B Z = Z Z B 47
Usually, two bases are selected: Three-phase base volt-ampere S B or MA B Line-to-line base voltage B or k B The other two are calculated accordingly I B = SB 3 B Z B ( ) ( k ) B / 3 B B = = = I S MA B B B The phase and line quantities expressed in per-unit are the same S = Z I pu = pui pu pu pu pu Relationship between the load power and per-unit impedance S L 3 3 P P ( φ) = I Z P P 3 P L = L P L(3 ) SL(3 ) = = I S φ φ Z pu Z P L L SB L L SB SB pu ZB SL(3 φ ) B B S S S L 3φ L 3φ L pu = = = = = pu ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 48
ULTC Per-Unit Model t s 1 RPφ + XQ = tr + 1 tr φ If all quantities are in per-unit, t S 1pu and t R 1pu Assuming t S t R =1 t S = 1 1 RP + XQ φ 1 φ t R =1/t S Example 3.6: t S =1.08pu and t R =0.96pu 49
Change of Base Z old pu Z = = Z Ω old B Z Ω S old B old ( ) B Z S = new old new old pu B pu Zpu old new SB B Z new pu Z = = Z Ω new B Z Ω S new B new ( ) B S old = Z (if B is the same) pu S new pu old B The nameplates of transformers and generators usually give impedance as x% based on its rated voltage and rated MA. Also, it is usually operated under the same (or very close to) rated voltage level while the base MA may be quite different. Then, the impedance under the new, system base can be calculated using the above simplified equation. 50
Advantages of the Per-Unit System Gives a clear idea of relative magnitudes of various quantities, e.g. voltage, current, power and impedance The per-unit impedance of equipment of the same general type based on their own ratings fall in a narrow range regardless of the rating of the equipment. Whereas their impedance in ohms vary greatly with the rating The per-unit values of impedance, voltage and current of a transformer are the same regardless of whether they are referred to the primary or the secondary side Idea for the computerized analysis and simulation of complex power system problems The circuit laws are valid in per-unit systems. For three-phase systems, factors of 3 and 3 are eliminated by properly selecting base quantities 51
