Power System Analysis
Power System Analysis
Objectives: This course has been designed to introduce the importance of analyzing various aspects of
power system. It covers power flow studies and fault analysis of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical
faults in power networks. This forms the basis for power system operation, control and protection.
Course Outline: The Admittance Model and Network Calculations: Branch and Node admittances;
Mutually coupled Branches in Y-bus; Equivalent Admittance Network; Modification of Y-bus; Impedance
matrix and Y-bus; the method of successive elimination; Node Elimination (Kron Reduction); Triangular
Factorization.
The Impedance Model and Network Calculations: The bus, admittance and impedance Matrices;
Thevenin’s Theorem and Z-bus; Modification of an existing Z-bus; Direct determination of Z-bus;
Calculation of Zbus elements from Ybus ; Power Invariant Transformations; Mutually coupled branches in
Zbus.
Symmetrical Faults: Transients in RL circuits; internal voltages of loaded machines. Under fault
conditions; fault calculations using Zbus ; Equivalent circuits; Selection of circuit breakers.
Symmetrical Y and Delta circuits, power in terms of symmetrical component, sequence networks of a
symmetrical Transmission line; sequence Networks of the synchronous Machines; Sequence Networks
of Y impedances; sequence networks; positive, negative and zero sequence networks; Unsymmetrical
Faults: Unsymmetrical faults on power systems; single line-to-ground faults; line-to-line faults. Double
line-to-ground faults; Demonstration problems; open conductor faults.
