A 25-MVA three-phase 13.8-kV, 2 pole 60 Hz synchronous generator was tested by the open-circuit test, and its-gap voltage was extrapolated with the following results: Table 1: Open circuit test Field current (A) 320 Line voltage (kV) 13.0 Extrapolated air gap voltage (kV) 15.4 Table 2: Short circuit test Field current (A) 320 Armature current (A) 1040 365 475 38 13.8 14.1 15.2 17.5 18.3 22.8 365 380 475 570 1190 1240 1550 1885 570 16.0 27.4 2.1. Find the unsaturated synchronous reactance of this generator in ohms per phase and in per unit. 2.2 Find the approximate saturated synchronous reactance Xs at a field current of 380 A. Express the answer both in ohms per phase and in per-unit. 2.3 Find the approximate saturated synchronous at a field current of 475 A. Express the answer both in ohms per phase and in per unit.
Load flow analysis
Load flow analysis is a study or numerical calculation of the power flow of power in steady-state conditions in any electrical system. It is used to determine the flow of power (real and reactive), voltage, or current in a system under any load conditions.
Nodal Matrix
The nodal matrix or simply known as admittance matrix, generally in engineering term it is called Y Matrix or Y bus, since it involve matrices so it is also referred as a n into n order matrix that represents a power system with n number of buses. It shows the buses' nodal admittance in a power system. The Y matrix is rather sparse in actual systems with thousands of buses. In the power system the transmission cables connect each bus to only a few other buses. Also the important data that one needs for have a power flow study is the Y Matrix.
Types of Buses
A bus is a type of system of communication that transfers data between the components inside a computer or between two or more computers. With multiple hardware connections, the earlier buses were parallel electrical wires but the term "bus" is now used for any type of physical arrangement which provides the same type of logical functions similar to the parallel electrical bus. Both parallel and bit connections are used by modern buses. They can be wired either electrical parallel or daisy chain topology or are connected by hubs which are switched same as in the case of Universal Serial Bus or USB.
