Analysis of a Three-phase power System by using

Simpower System Blockset of Matlab

Pre-requisite (Theory):

Article 1.10 (Per unit Quantities)

Article 1.11 (Changing The Base Of Per-Unit Quantities)

Article 1.14 (Impedance And Reactance Diagrams)

Article 2.6 (Three-Phase Transformers: Phase Shift and Equivalent Circuits)

Example 2.9

End Problem 3.12 and 3.13

Lab Task:

Below-mentioned figure shows the single line diagram of a three phase system.

Calculate the voltages and currents at various nodes (buses) and elements (branches) of this
system using the Simpower Systems blockset of Matlab.

Procedure:
Open Matlab and enter the command “powerlib” at the command window, this will open
the library of the “Simpower Systems” blockset like in the figure below:

Now to start the modeling of the circuit, create a new model file from the file menu. Open
the "Electrical Sources" library and drag the "Three-Phase Source" on to the model file. Now open
the "Elements" library and drag "Three-Phase Transformer (Two Windings)" on to your model file.
Create its copy as two transformers are required. Similarly, drop the “Three-Phase series RLC
branch”. Make its copy, one to model the Transmission-Line and other to model the Load. Now
drag "POWER GUI" from the powerlib library on to the file, also place multimeter and “three-
phase VI measurement block” from the measurement library. Connect the circuit as shown in figure
below and insert “three-phase VI measurement block” between source and TMR1 (transformer) to
measure source current.

Rename all Block as shown in above diagram. Double click each in order to open the block
parameters dialog box. Change the parameters of the blocks as given below against their names.

Case # 1:
Now open the POWER GUI by double-clicking on its icon. This will show various types of
analysis that are available to perform on the circuit. Click on "Steady-State Voltages and Currents"
button. This will open a new window in which all the steady state voltages and currents will be
given. Now write down all the voltages and currents along with their angle in the table given
below:
Note: As the system is balance, voltages and currents in all three phases are equal in magnitude
and displaced from each other by 1200. So only note voltages and currents of phase ‘a’.
