ABSTRACT
For three phase AC power systems consisting of synchronous
machines interconnected by transmission lines and other electrical
transmission equipment, the power transmitted and the stability of
the system depend upon the constants of synchronous machine and
the characteristics of the transmission lines.
The purpose of
this work is to design and set up a model of a power system in
the laboratory, measure the constants of synchronous machines,
the power angles and power flows of the system.
An investigation
of the effects of the saturated machines is based upon the
laboratory data.
This work is intended primarily as a tool for studying
Power Systems in a University Laboratory.
It makes possible the
study of electrical power systems imparting a better physical
understanding to the student and improves his consequent learning.

INTRODUcriON
An electric power system consists of three principal components:
the generating stations, the transmission system and the distribution
system.
By means of synchronous generators, energy in its various
forms is converted into electric form and the transmission systems
are the connecting links between all the generating stations and
distribution systems which connect the individual loads.
One problem in power system analysis is the determination of
whether or not the various synchronous machines in the system will
remain in synchronism with one another.
The characteristics of the
synchronous machines and of transmission lines obviously play an
~portant
part in the problem.
In power system analysis, a synchronous machine is often
represented in a circuit diagram by a constant reactance in series
with a constant voltage.
Several synchronous machine reactances

Which reactance is used depends upon which
conditions are desired to be investigated for the system.
2
Consider a very simple power system, consisting of two synchronous
machines A and B and series inductive reactance of the transmission
line XL.
The system is represented by the following circuit diagram.
B
Figure I.2.
Two Machine Power System
Combining the machine reactances and line reactance into a single
reactance, the circuit diagram becomes:
Figure I.3.
Two Machine System Equivalent Circuit
3
Suppose that machine A is a synchronous generator and machine B
is a synchronous motor, the power transmitted from the generator to
the motor depend upon the phase difference 8 of the two voltages EA
and
EB~
these voltages are generated by the flux of the field windings
of the machines, so their phase difference is approximately the same
as the electrical angle between the two machine rotors.
The phasor diagram of a two machine system is shown in the
figure I.4 below:
Figure I.4.

The vector equation is:
(I.l)
Hence, the current
(I.2)
since i t is assumed that there is no resistance in the line, the
power transmitted from the generator to the motor
is given by:

Equation I.B shows that the power P varies with the sine of the
displacement angle 6 between the two rotors.
The maximum power Pm that can be transmitted in the steady state
with a given reactance XL and given internal voltages is:

This maximum occurs at a displacement angle 8

this maximum is never reached.

is the steady state stability limit of the system.
It is the
maximum power that can be transmitted and synchronism will be lost
if an attempt is made to transmit more power than this limit.
If the
point of instability is reached by a sudden change in conditions of
operation of the system, a short-circuit for example, the limiting
value of power is called the transient stability limit.

The subtransient reactances of synchronous machines are used to
determine the initial current flowing on the occurrence of a short
circuit.
For the determination of the interrupting capacity of circuit
breakers, subtransient reactance is used for synchronous generators
and transient reactance is used for synchronous motors.
Tests were made in the laboratory to measure the synchronous
machine reactances.
A transmission line was built to determine the
power angle curve by tests and checked by method of analysis.

THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN MODELING OF POWER SYSTEHS
Transmission System
1.
Artificial transmission system
An artificial transmission system used for making tests in the
laboratory v1as constructed of reactance coils and operated normally
at 220 volts.
Power was obtained from the synchronous generator
11 KVA, 220 volts, 60 cycles driven hy a direct current motor.
A synchronous motor de generator set was used as load: the
direct current generator of this set was connected to a resistance
load to provide a dead load instead of loading back on the direct
current laboratory system.
The field of the direct current generator
was separately excited so that the load could be varied gradually by
raising or lowering the voltage.
The artificial transmission system was designed so that results
could be obtained in per-unit comparable with those expected in an
actual system using a 230 KV - 100 MVA base.
2.
Calculation of transmission system constants
A 230 KV transmission system of 230 mile length was selected.
Base quantities were chosen to be 230 KV and 100
l~.
Figure II-1 shows the equivalent pi circuit, using the resistance,
inductive reactance and capacitive reactance, the pi equivalent circuit
of the system was calculated.
The calculation shows the per-unit
impedance for the system in respect to the original base system in
which it was chosen and for the artificial system base is 20 KVA and
220 volts.

It is impossible to calculate the true inductance of some types

The actual apparent
inductance differs from the calculated true inductance because of
distributed capacitance.
For that reason, inductance calculations are
generally used only for a starting point in the final design.

Unsaturated direct axis reactance
The definition of unsaturated direct axis synchronous reactance
given in AIEE standard is as follows:
Synchronous reactance is the
ratio of the field current required to circulate rated current on a
sustained three phase short circuit to the field current which would
produce rated voltage at no load if there were no saturation.
Figure II.Sa shows the open circuit characteristic (OCC) and short
circuit characteristic (SCC) and the AIEE definition gives:

is the field current required to produce
rated voltage read from the air gap line.
Another way to define unsaturated Xd is as follows:
at any
convenient field excitation current such as OF in Fig. II.Sb, the
short circuit armature current is O'B, the excitation voltage for
the same field current is OA read from the air gap line.
Xd is the
ratio of this voltage OA to the short circuit armature current O'B.
The measurement Xd from this definition (by open circuit and
short circuit tests) gives the unsaturated value of direct axis
reactance.

Three phase short circuit test
The transient and subtransient reactances of a synchronous machine
are found by transient short circuit test.
The machine is driven as a
generator, at no load and at rated voltage, and suddenly short circuited.
An oscillograph is used to record the transient short circuit current.
The Figure II.9 shows a symmetrical trace of a short circuit
current wave.
The de component is taken out by subtracting or may be
eliminated by short circuiting at the instant when the d axis is 90°
from the axis of phase a.
The wave, whose envelope is shown in Figure II.lO may be divided
into three periods:
Subtransient period lasting only for the first few cycles, during
which the current decrease is very rapid;
23
the transient period lasting a relatively longer
t~e,
the
current decrement is more moderate:

Locked rotor line-to-line test
While this method is not practicable for determining the
satruated value for turbine generators, i t may be applied to salient
pole machines with damper windings at rated current to obtain a
very good value for the saturated value of subtransient reactance.
A single phase voltage is applied between any two line leads,
with the field winding short circuited on itself and the rotor locked
at standstill.
Readings of voltage and field current are taken for
various rotor positions over a pole pitch.
Two rotor positions are
determined, one for a maximum value of the field current and the
other for minimum value.
The rotor position for maximum field current
is called direct axis position, the other is quadrature axis position.
26
With the rotor in the direct axis position and rated current
£lowing, the subtransient reactance is equal to half the ratio of
applied voltage to line current.

The slip test:
Measurement of unsaturated
quadrature axis synchronous reactance
In this test, the machine is driven mechanically at a speed
slightly different from synchronous speed, the field winding is
open and a balanced three phase voltage of correct phase sequence
is applied to its armature terminals.
An oscillograph is used to
record the waves of armature current, voltage applied to the armature
tenninals and voltage induced in the open field winding.
Figure II.l3
shows the general forms of these oscillograms.
The quadrature axis synchronous reactance x

ratio of armature applied voltage per phase to the armature current
per phase and occurs where the induced voltage in the field winding

Oscillograms of Slip Tests

The

reactance since the test must be made at small values of armature
current.

a-2.
Maximum lagging current test
The slip test introduces large errors because of the effects of
the current produced in rotor circuit unless the slip is very small.
In the maximum lagging current test, the machine is running as
a reluctance motor - the field current is reduced to zero - then,
the polarity of the field current is reversed and a small field
current applied in the reversed direction causing an increase in
armature current.
By increasing the field current in the reversed
direction, the armature current increases and reaches a maximum
stable value, any further increase of the field current will cause
the machine to fall out of step.
The quadrature axis reactance is given by the relation:

Machine A
The following results were obtained on an 11 KVA, 220 volt,
29 ampere, 1200 rpm, 60 cycle and 3-phase machine.
The equivalent armature resistance measured at ambient temperature and calculated at 75°C is R = 0.142 ohms.

The unsaturated value of direct axis reactance xd determined by
open circuit tests is 3.40 ohms.
The saturated value of xd determined
by use of saturation factor k is 3.14.
The saturation factor was
determined from the open circuit characteristic and Potier reactance
assuming that the terminal voltage equals rated voltage 220 volts.
The current is rated current and power-factor equals 0.8. (Appendix B.3)

This assumption is suitable
for most practical purposes.
The saturated reactance is a function of the air gap voltage,
when the air gap voltage increases, the saturated reactance decreases,
the air gap voltage depends upon the operating condition of the machine,
i.e., the terminal voltage, the armature of measurement of saturated
reactance determined only one value of reactance assuming the terminal
voltage to be 220 volts, the current to be 29 ampere and power factor
0.8.
Furthermore, the treatment of saturation effects as a function
of a factor to be deduced from open circuit and zero power factor
characteristics is not completely sufficient.
Because of linearity
in the unsaturated region, the unsaturated values of machine reactances
are constant, therefore some analysis methods consist in heating the
machine as an unsaturated one and then correcting the saturation
effects by two saturation factors, one dependent, one direct axis

Excitation of the generator was varied to hold the terminal voltage

that the armature current of the motor was minimum, i.e., the power
factor equal to unity.
The angle a between the terminal voltage
of the motor and generator is equal to zero because the two machines
were connected by a line without impedance.

associated with the machines, i.e., the power limit of the system
is decreased.

CONCLUSION
The analysis of three phase synchronous machines operation depends
upon the constants of the machines; due to saturation effects, the
constants of synchronous machines have different values for different
operating conditions.
The laboratory work was centered on two
synchronous machines in the power laboratory.
All machine constants
such as armature resistance, direct and quadrature axis reactance,
transient and subtransient reactance were measured for both machines.
The resistance was measured at ambient temperature and corrected to
operating temperature.
The direct axis reactance was measured at
saturated and unsaturated conditions .
An artificial line was designed and built for use in the test
of the validity of calculated operating conditions using these
measured constants.
A good agreement was obtained between tests and
calculations.
In power system analysis, the problems to be investigated for a
student who is interested in power area are:
power
f~ow,
power limits,
stability limits (transient and steady state), fault currents and
critical switching time.
These problems can be studied theoretically
and demonstrated in the power laboratory.
Accurate synchronous
machine constants .which are functions of operating conditions are
needed to determine these problems.
saturated and unsaturated machine operating conditions were used
to demonstrate the effects of saturation on the investigation of a
power system.
The machine data needed to demonstrate the above problems has
52
been determined for two machines in the UMR power laboratory for use
in experiments by the student.
and run.
Sample experiments have been set up
A good agreement has been obtained between calculated and
experimental results.
With the two machines in the laboratory and their data obtained,
and with the model transmission line and its characteristics, the
laboratory demonstration and experiments can be performed for or by
undergraduate classes in investigation of the problems of power
systems.

Measurements of power angle
The power angle was measured by using a stroboscope to read the
displacement angle on the axis of the machine.
This angle, the
mechanical angle, was multiplied by 2 to convert to electrical degrees
because a 4 pole machine was used in experiments.
