Question 1 |
Bus 1 with voltage magnitude V_1 = 1.1 p.u. is sending reactive power Q_{12} towards bus
2 with voltage magnitude V_2 = 1 p.u. through a lossless transmission line of reactance
X. Keeping the voltage at bus 2 fixed at 1 p.u., magnitude of voltage at bus 1 is changed,
so that the reactive power Q_{12} sent from bus 1 is increased by 20%. Real power flow
through the line under both the conditions is zero. The new value of the voltage
magnitude, V_1, in p.u. (rounded off to 2 decimal places) at bus 1 is _______ .
0.118 | |
1.12 | |
1 | |
0.82 |
Question 1 Explanation:
With real power zero, load angle \delta =0
with initial values, V_{1}=1.1, \; \; \; V_{2}=1
Q_{12}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{X}-\frac{V_{1}V_{2}}{X}\sin \delta
\, \, =\frac{(1.1)^{2}}{X}-\frac{1.1\times 1}{X}\sin 0=\frac{0.11}{x}
With increased value of voltage,
new value of \; Q_{12}=1.2Q_{12},\; \; V_{2}=1
1.2\, Q_{12}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{X}-\frac{V_{1}\times 1}{X}=1.2\times \frac{0.11}{X}
V_{1}^{2}-V_{1}-0.132=0
V_{1}=1.12,\; \; -0.118
Hence the practical value in per unit,V_{1}=1.12 p.u.
with initial values, V_{1}=1.1, \; \; \; V_{2}=1
Q_{12}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{X}-\frac{V_{1}V_{2}}{X}\sin \delta
\, \, =\frac{(1.1)^{2}}{X}-\frac{1.1\times 1}{X}\sin 0=\frac{0.11}{x}
With increased value of voltage,
new value of \; Q_{12}=1.2Q_{12},\; \; V_{2}=1
1.2\, Q_{12}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{X}-\frac{V_{1}\times 1}{X}=1.2\times \frac{0.11}{X}
V_{1}^{2}-V_{1}-0.132=0
V_{1}=1.12,\; \; -0.118
Hence the practical value in per unit,V_{1}=1.12 p.u.
