EEN-301: Power System Analysis and Control
Tutorial-IV
1. Two generators having sub-transient reactance of 𝑗0.2 pu are connected at bus 1 and 2 in
the single line diagram shown below. The system is unloaded and operates at rated voltage.
If a three-phase fault occurs at bus 4, determine the following:
a. Fault current
b. Contribution from generators
c. Bus voltages
d. Fault current in different lines
2. For an electric power network, as shown in the figure, compute the sub-transient current in
each generator, when a three-phase fault through an impedance of j0.2 Ω occurs at point (i)
A, (ii) B and (iii) C. Before occurrence of the fault, the system was unloaded, there was no
circulating current between the generators and the voltage at point B was 32 kV.

3. A 30 MVA, 13.2 kV synchronous generator having 20% sub-transient reactance is
connected at bus 1. Bus 1 and bus 2 are connected through a line having 10% reactance on
generator rating. The system is unloaded and operates at rated voltage. Find the fault current
and fault level in the circuit if a 3-phase symmetrical fault occurs at bus 2.
4. A synchronous generator and motor are rated as 30 MVA, 13.2 kV and both have 20% sub-
transient reactance. The generator and motor are connected to bus 1 and bus 2, respectively.
Bus 1 and bus 2 are connected through a line having 10% reactance on machine ratings.
The synchronous motor is drawing 20 MW at 0.8 power factor leading with terminal
voltage of 12.8 kV. Find the sub-transient fault current and the contribution from generator
and motor to the fault current, when a 3-phase fault occurs at terminal of motor.
5. For the system, as shown in the figure, calculate the fault current, when a three phase solid
fault occurs at point C. Before occurrence of the fault, the motor was drawing 3.5 MW at
0.8 power factor leading at a terminal voltage of 10.6 kV.

6. A small generating station feeding to a rural area has two alternators A and B, as shown in
the figure. It is decided to extend the system by a supply from grid through a transformer.
Find the reactance of the reactor (to be connected between generator bus bar and
transformer bus bar) necessary to protect the switchgear if a short circuit occurs on an
outgoing feeder connected to the generator bus bar.
