ELEN Project #1

666 Project Title: Short Circuit Study

Spring 2004

Description: Stage I
Complete a short-circuit study for 5 bus test system described in the Appendix I. The system Z
matrices are given. Consider two types of faults:
• Single-phase-ground (A phase), fault resistance Rf = 0.10 p.u.
• Three-phase-ground fault, fault resistance Rf = 0 p.u.
Assuming that the fault occurs at each non-source system bus (one at a time), calculate:
• Fault current (all phases)
• All bus voltages (all phases)
• All branch currents (all phases)
Stage II
Develop a computer software for completing a short-circuit study for IEEE-14 bus system described
in the Appendix II. The system data are attached. Either Z-bus or Y-bus method can be used.
Consider two types of faults:
• Single-phase-ground (A phase), fault resistance Rf=0 p.u.
• Three-phase-ground fault, fault resistance Rf=0 p.u.
Assuming that the fault occurs at each non-source system bus (one at a time), calculate:
• Fault current (all phases)
• All bus voltages (all phases)
• All branch currents (all phases)

Deliverables: Stage I - Report consisting of two parts:

• Explanation of the work completed
• The results as described above (see note below as well)
Stage II - Report consisting of three parts:
• Mathematical model used for the short-circuit study
• Developed software descriptions, flowcharts, code listing, source code
• The results as described above (see note below as well)

***Note: Express all results in polar form. The results in rectangular form will not be acceptable.

Programming
Consideration: - Matlab 5.3., MathWorks should be used for programming.
- Procedural style of programming should be used (do not write spaghetti code).

Literature: Paul M. Anderson, “Analysis of Faulted Power Systems”

Matlab 5.3 Reference Manual, MathWorks

Plagiarism: First page in the report should contain signed and dated statement that confirms that all the work in the
report is completed solely by the respective individual.

Total Points: 30 pts.

Extra Credit: 5 pts. for completing the stage two of the project using both Z-bus and Y-bus method.
Note that the method of building Z-bus or Y-bus matrices is important. Inversion of Y-bus matrix
obtained by Y-bus method should yield the same Z-bus matrix as obtained by Z-bus method.

Due Dates: March 1, 2004, 5 p.m. – for stage I report

March 24, 2004, 5 p.m. – for stage II report

Assigned: February 2, 2004

Notes:
Assume that pre-fault voltage is flat, Vf = 1. All given impedances are in p.u.
Buses 4 and 5 are source buses and they have been eliminated from the system matrices.
