Per Unit Examples

This document discusses per unit analysis, which is used to normalize power system variables to allow for easier analysis and calculation of large power systems. Per unit analysis involves selecting a voltage and power base, then converting all system variables to a ratio of their actual value to the base value. This allows the system to be represented and solved as a single per unit system, then converted back to actual values. An example is provided to demonstrate the per unit conversion and solution process for both single phase and three phase systems.

Per Unit Calculations

 A key problem in analyzing power systems is the


large number of transformers.
– It would be very difficult to continually have to refer
impedances to the different sides of the transformers
 This problem is avoided by a normalization of all
variables.
 This normalization is known as per unit analysis.

actual quantity
quantity in per unit =
base value of quantity

Per Unit Conversion Procedure, 1

1. Pick a 1 VA base for the entire system, SB


2. Pick a voltage base for each different voltage level,
VB. Voltage bases are related by transformer turns
ratios. Voltages are line to neutral.
3. Calculate the impedance base, ZB= (VB)2/SB
4. Calculate the current base, IB = VB/ZB
5. Convert actual values to per unit
Note, per unit conversion on affects magnitudes, not
the angles. Also, per unit quantities no longer have
units (i.e., a voltage is 1.0 p.u., not 1 p.u. volts)
2
Per Unit Solution Procedure

1. Convert to per unit (p.u.) (many problems are


already in per unit)
2. Solve
3. Convert back to actual as necessary

Per Unit Example
Solve for the current, load voltage and load power
in the circuit shown below using per unit analysis
with an SB of 100 MVA, and voltage bases of 
8 kV, 80 kV  and 16 kV.

Per Unit Example, cont’d

To convert back to actual values just multiply the


per unit values by their per unit base

V LActual = 0.859� - 30.8��16 kV = 13.7� - 30.8� kV


S LActual =�� =� 0
0.189 100 MVA 18.9 0 MVA

Three Phase Per Unit

Procedure is very similar to 1 except we use a 3


VA base, and use line to line voltage bases
1. Pick a 3 VA base for the entire system, S B3
2. Pick a voltage base for each different voltage level,
VB. Voltages are line to line.
3. Calculate the impedance base

VB2, LL ( 3 VB , LN )2 VB2, LN
ZB = = =
S B3 3S 1B S 1B
Exactly the same impedance bases as with single phase!

Three Phase Per Unit Example

Solve for the current, load voltage and load power


in the previous circuit, assuming a 3 power base of
300 MVA, and line to line voltage bases of 13.8 kV,
138 kV  and 27.6 kV (square root of 3 larger than the 
1 example voltages).  Also assume the generator is 
Y­connected so its line to line voltage is 13.8 kV.    
Convert to per unit
as before. Note the
system is exactly the
same!
