Power Quality
Power quality is an important branch of power system engineering.
The emergence of smart grids further distinguishes the importance of power quality.
A single power quality event such as voltage sag caused by a fault in transmission or
distribution level may cost the affected industries up to millions of monetary losses.
It plays an important role to ensure the quality of power being delivered to the industry
customer.

Conclusion:-
The simulation approach provides the researcher the flexibility to create power system
models to simulate power quality disturbance by connecting various functional building
blocks in the simulation environment. It gives an insight on how power quality disturbance
propagates and behaves within the simulated power system model. The limitation of the
simulation approach is its dependency on the capability of the chosen simulation software,
basic knowledge of power quality and the simulation software, and the availability of
power system building blocks required to build the power system model to simulate the
intended power quality disturbance.

Aim of the Experiment: Modelling of Three Phase source and Three Phase
linear load in MATLAB Simulink
Theory:-
The modeling of a three-phase source and a three-phase linear load involves
understanding the electrical behavior of these components within a three-phase
power system. In a three- phase system, there are three conductors, typically
labeled as phases - A, B, and C. Each phase carries an alternating current that is
120 degrees out of phase with the others.
Three-Phase Source:
A balanced three-phase source consists of three single phase sources with
equal magnitude and 120° phase shift between each source. A fourth
conductor in such system is called the neutral, which is also connected to
the ground reference. As a result, two types of voltages can be defined in
the three-phase system: line-to-line voltage, also known as the line voltage,
and line-to-neutral voltage, also known as the phase-to-neutral or phase
voltage.
Three-Phase Load:
A three-phase linear load refers to electrical loads that exhibit linear behavior,
such as resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads, where the current is directly
proportional to the voltage. Common examples include balanced loads like
resistors, inductors, and capacitors connected in a three-phase system.

RESULTS AND OBSERVSTIONS:
In electrical systems, modelling three-phase sources and linear loads is essential. The
electrical supply is defined by threephase sources, which are represented by sinusoidal
voltages or currents with 120-degree phase variations. Different behaviours are shown by
linear loads, such as resistive, inductive, or capacitive components, which affect phase
relationships and total power estimates. Gaining an understanding of these models
facilitates the prediction of system behaviours, stability, and performance optimisation in
power systems across several industries. These models play a key role in power
generation, transmission, and distribution, making them essential for developing,
evaluating, and managing dependable electrical networks. This highlights their relevance
in a variety of applications for stable and effective power distribution.

Theory: -
Short circuits occur in well-designed power systems and cause large decaying transient
currents, generally much above the system load currents. This results in disruptive
electro-dynamic and thermal stresses that are potentially damaging. Fire risks and
explosions are inherent. One tries to limit short circuits to the faulty section of the
electrical system by appropriate switching devices capable of operating under short-
circuit conditions without causing any damage and isolating only the faulty section, so
that a fault is not escalated. The faster the operation of sensing and switching devices,
the lower is the fault damage, and the better is the chance of systems holding together
without loss of synchronism.
Figure 2.1. Conventional Relay and Circuit Breaker operation towards protection of
Overhead conductors
The design of Relay operation is prior to successful operation of any power system. The
Relay and Circuit-Breaker (CB) relations for conventional power system are as shown in
Fig. 2.1. The Relays are intentioned to perform effective Fault Detection in power system
network, and send a Trip signal to open respective CBs subjected to Fault scenario. For
overhead conductors (i.e. Transmission, Distribution networks) the Numerical Relay/
NR inputs are considered: Vabc and Iabc from measurement buses, as in Fig. 2.1. After
estimation of fault scenario in terms of Mathematical Relationships during short-circuit
fault equivalents, the NR sends Trip signal to CBs connected to respective buses. From
Fig. 2.1, CB at 'bus 1' will trip if the "Fault" point is near to it, or else CB at 'bus 2' will
trip. The decision is concluded Relay's Fault distance estimation algorithm, within
transient time where fault current is much high.
The method of Symmetrical Components Analysis (SCA) has been widely used to
evaluate unbalanced three-phase systems, unsymmetrical short-circuit currents, and
rotating electro dynamic machinery. In SCA process, an unbalanced three-phase system
can be resolved into three balanced systems. A system of three unbalanced Phasors can
be resolved in the following three symmetrical components: (a) Positive Sequence
component/ PSC: A balanced three-phase symmetry with the same phase sequence as
the original sequence; (b) Negative Sequence component/NSC: A balanced three-phase
symmetry with the opposite phase sequence as the original sequence; (c) Zero
Sequence component/ZSC: Three Phasors that are equal in magnitude and phase
parallel
to each other. The SCA is possible to estimate from SCA Transformation Matrix/
SCATM,
which is derived as: -
Here IZPC , IPSC and INSC are zero, positive and negative sequence current components;
Vzsc, VPSC and VNSC are zero, positive and negative sequence voltage components; and 'a'

To understand short-circuit faults the balanced AC power system is subjected to asymmetrical Line- to-Ground
(LG) faults in MATLAB® Simulink environment, while addressing IEGC standard practices in voltage and frequency
profiles. The LG fault is modelled between overhead Line segments by "Three-Phase Fault block from MATLAB.
The 20 cycles of fault duration is obtained for 50 Hz rated frequency operation at time 0.2 sec. The method of
Symmetrical Components Analysis (SCA) is adopted towards numerical Relay design, to trip respective
Circuit Breakers (CBs) as protection measures. The SCA is achieved by 'Sequence Analyzer block in MATLAB®
Simulink. The PSCs, NSCS and ZSCs for different bus voltages (V1abc , V2abc , V3abc and V4abc ) are considered as input
to SCA, due to their fair reflection of asymmetrical profile under unbalanced operation: LLG fault between Phase
A, Phase B and Ground The fault voltages and currents are different in level and response, from each other, among

V4abc) During balanced three-phase symmetry ( time t=0.00-0.20 sec ., and after fault clearance) PSC exists for all
voltage parameters. During asymmetrical imbalanced operation effected buses are depicting NSC, ZSC with
decreased PSC levels, but distanced /non-effected buses shows only NSC with decreased PSC.

Conclusion: -
To understand short-circuit faults the balanced AC power system is subjected to symmetrical Line-
to- Line-to-Line-to-Ground (LLLG) faults in MATLAB® Simulink environment, while addressing IEGC
standard practices in voltage and frequency profiles. The LLLG fault is modelled between overhead
Line segments by 'Three-Phase Fault' block from MATLAB. The 03 cycles of fault duration is
obtained for 50 Hz rated frequency operation at time 0.2 sec. The method of Symmetrical
Components Analysis (SCA) is adopted towards numerical Relay design, to trip respective Circuit
Breakers (CBs) as protection measures. The SCA is achieved by 'Sequence Analyzer' block in
MATLAB® Simulink. The PSCs, NSCs and ZSCs for different bus voltages (V1abc, V2abc, V3abc and V4abc)
are considered as input to SCA, due to their fair reflection of symmetrical profile under unbalanced
operation: LLLG fault between Phase A, B, C and Ground. The fault voltages and currents are
different in level and response, from each other, among involved buses. The active power is
recorded with zero value, where significant reactive power flows under LLLG shot-circuit fault. The
directly affected buses (bus_2 and bus 3) show significant amount of rise in PSC, and NSC profiles
(i.e. V_PSC_bus2, V_NSC_bus2 for V2abc; and V_PSC_bus3, V_NSC_bus3 for V3abc) under LLLG fault.
There is no ZSC profile during Symmetrical LLLG fault. The indirectly affected buses are recorded
with significant PSC, NSC but zero ZSC profiles (V_PSC_bus₁, V_NSC_ bus₁, for V1abc and
V_PSC_bus4, V_NSC_ bus4 , for V4abc) too. During balanced three-phase symmetry (time = 0.00
0.20 sec., and after fault clearance) PSC exists for all voltage parameters. During symmetrical
imbalanced operation effected buses as well as distanced /non-effected buses are depicting NSC,
with decreased PSC levels, but zero ZSC.

Series and shunt capacitive compensation are methods used in power systems to improve
the performance of transmission lines. These methods involve the addition of capacitors
to the transmission line to counteract the effects of reactive power.
Series and shunt capacitive compensation are techniques used to enhance the
performance of transmission lines in power systems. In series capacitive compensation,
capacitors are connected in series with the transmission line, mitigating the inductive
reactance and improving voltage profiles. This method increases the power transfer
capability, but it can lead to voltage amplification issues and requires careful system
analysis.
Shunt capacitive compensation involves connecting capacitors in parallel with the
transmission line, addressing capacitive reactive power and improving the power factor.
This helps reduce line losses and enhances overall transmission efficiency. However, shunt
capacitors may cause overvoltage problems and introduce switching transients.
A combination of both methods is often employed to achieve optimal results. Series
compensation tackles inductive reactance, while shunt compensation addresses capacitive
reactive power. The choice depends on system characteristics and load requirements.
Engineers must carefully consider system dynamics, potential overvoltage conditions, and
transient effects to ensure a stable and reliable power transmission system. In practice, the
careful integration of series and shunt capacitive compensation contributes to improved
power system performance and efficiency.
