Power System protection LAB Assignment

According to Given Data

Power System Protection:

i. For the single-line diagram given convert all positive-sequence impedances, load, and
voltage data to per unit using the given system base quantities. Then using Power World
Simulator or PSSE (preferred) or both create input data files. Note that bus 1 is the swing
bus.

ii. Case 1: Run the power flow program using the data files prepared in part i.
iii. Case 2:
Suggest one method of increasing the voltage magnitude at bus 4 by 5%. Demonstrate the effectiveness
of your method by making appropriate changes to the input data of case 1 and by running the power
flow program. Your output for this assignment consists of input and output data files for each case,
along with a one-paragraph explanation of your method for increasing the voltage at bus 4 by 5%.
 iii. Case 3:

Using Power World Simulator or PSSE (preferred) or both compute sub transient fault
currents for a bolted three-phase-to-ground fault at bus 1, then at bus 2, then at bus 3, and
so on. Also compute bus voltages during the faults and the positive-sequence bus
impedance matrix. Assume 1.0 per-unit pre fault voltage. Neglect pre-fault load currents
and all losses. Your output for this assignment consists of input data files and output data
(fault currents, bus voltages, and the bus impedance matrix). Discuss your results on paper.

 iv. Case 4:
For the single-line diagram, convert the zero-, positive-, and negative sequence reactance data to
per-unit using the given system base quantities. Use sub transient machine reactances. Then using
Power World Simulator or PSSE (preferred) or both, create input data files. Next run the Simulator
to compute sub transient fault currents for (1) single-line-to-ground, (2) line-to-line, and (3) double-
line-to-ground bolted faults at each bus. Also compute the zero-,positive-, and negative-sequence
bus impedance matrices. Assume 1.0 per-unit pre-fault voltage. Also, neglect pre-fault load currents
and all losses. Your output for this part consists of input data files and output data (fault currents,
bus voltages, and the bus impedance matrix). Discuss your results on paper.

Case 5:

Select a suitable circuit breaker from Table attached for each location shown on your single-line
diagram. Each breaker that you select should: (1) have a rated voltage larger than the maximum system
operating voltage, (2) have a rated continuous current at least 30% larger than normal load current
(normal load currents are computed in Case 2, and (3) have a rated short-circuit current larger than the
maximum fault current for any type of fault at the bus where the breaker is located. This conservative
practice of selecting a breaker to interrupt the entire fault current, not just the contribution to the fault
through the breaker, allows for future increases in fault currents.
