A synchronous generator of 100 MVA, 22 kV, and 0.25 pu transient reactance supplies a motor of 50 MVA, 22 kV, and 0.2 pu transient reactance. The motor is drawing 40 MW at 0.8 power factor leading and terminal voltage of 21.9 kV. The line connecting them has a reactance of 0.05 pu on a base of 100 MVA. Find the transient currents in the generator, the motor, and the fault when a 3-ph fault occurs at the motor terminals. Take SB = 100 MVA, VB = 22 kV, and use the internal voltages of the machines method
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.
