1. Objectives • To provide an introduction to the main features of computer aided design and analysis of power systems and the use of ERACS software package for diagram building and Load Flow analysis. • Enhance the student learning process, by relating the theory and analytical procedures to computer aided techniques for system analysis and problems solving. • To give the student the basic hands-on experience on the use of industry-based software package to simulate faulted power system. 2. Introduction The ERACS software package comprises the following routines: a) Diagram building, Display and Reproduction (e) Harmonic Impedance (b) Load Flow (f) Transient Stability (c) Short Circuit …show more content…

Further, generator G1 is modeled as slack with 1.0 per unit voltage, while generator G2 is modeled as a PQ type with assigned active power of P = 40 MW and reactive power of Q = 30 MVAr. Also, notice that the resistances of all components in the network are assumed to be zero. Furthermore, for the generators and transformers, select “Neutral Earthing Data” with zero neutral earthing resistance and reactance. Throughout this work, make any necessary approximations and assumptions required to simplify the design and state these in your report. 4.6 From Calculate menu choose Load Flow and perform the Load Flow analysis, with circuit breakers C.B.1 and C.B.2 closed. Accept all the default values for the negative and zero sequence components during running of the program. 4.7 From the Results menu choose Select Data / Results and Load flow, then: (i) Busbar: Voltage (p.u.) , Voltage (kV) , Voltage angle ( o ) , Three Phase Fault level (MVA) and Three Phase Fault current (kA) (ii) Line Real power (MW) and Reactive power (MVAr). (iii) For Cable, Transformer, Synchronous Machine and Shunt, select the same as in (ii). From Results menu, choose Show Results to display the selected results and record them (from File menu choose Print and then Network Diagram). You may need to adjust the layout of the results before you print; refer to the User Guide. 4.8 Comment
