G: 90 MVA 22 kV X=18%
T1: 50 MVA 22/220 kV X=10%
T2: 40 MVA 220/11 kV X=6%
T3: 40 MVA 22/110 kV X=6.4%
T4: 40 MVA 110/11 kV X=8%
M: 66.5 MVA 10.45 kV X=18.5%
The three-phase load at bus 4 absorbs 57 MVA at 0.6 power factor at 10.45 kV. Line 1 and
line 2 reactances are respectively 48.4 and 65.43 Ω.
1. Selecting a common base of 100 MVA and 22 kV on the generator side, draw the
impedance diagram with all the impedances including the load in per-unit values.
It is assumed that the motor operates at full load at 0.8 power factor lagging at terminal
voltage of 10.45kV.
2. Using the per-unit representation, determine the current in the motor, current in the load,
EMF of motor and EMF of the generator.

In the one line diagram of Fig. 2, each generator is rated at 200 MVA, 13.8 kV and has a
reactance of 0.85 pu and is generating 1.15 pu. Transformer T1 is rated at 500 MVA,
13.5/220 kV and has a reactance of 8%. The transmission reactance is 7.8Ω. Transformer T2
has a rating of 400 MVA, 220/33 kV and a reactance of 11%. The load is 250 MVA at 0.85
power factor lagging.
1. Convert all the quantities to a common base of 500 MVA and 220 kV on the transmission
line and draw the circuit diagram with values in pu.
2. Determine the EMF of each generator.
Exercise 3
Draw the impedance diagram of the electric power system of Fig. 3 showing all the
impedances in per unit on a 100 MVA base. Choose 20 kV as the voltage base for the
generator. The ratings of the different devices are
G1: 90 MVA 20 kV X=9%
T1: 80 MVA 20/200 kV X=16%
T2: 80 MVA 200/20 kV X=20%
G2: 90 MVA 18 kV X=9%
Line 200 kV X=120 Ω
