.
Open the capacitor main breaker R3. Keep all other breakers closed. Make the ‘fault’
component inactive.
Most transient studies require the accurate modeling of transformers and transmission
lines. Transformer inrush requires the accurate modeling of the non-linear iron core.
Switching transient studies require the modeling of transmission lines to include the
effects frequency dependent line parameters and traveling wave phenomena.
T3.2
Use detailed models to represent the 33/230 kV transformer and the 55 km
transmission line. The transformer has a Y-Y configuration and consists of three single
phase units. The no load current is 1 %. The no load and copper losses are 0.003 pu and
0.002 pu respectively.
The conductor arrangement of the line is as shown below.
Use the frequency
dependent phase model to represent the line.

Inrush Study:
T3.3
Open the breakers #2 and #3. The transformer is energized on no load by closing
the breaker #1. Close breaker 1 at 0.15s and observe the inrush currents.
T3.4
Add a 1 Ohm resister in series with the 33 kV winding and observe the results.
What effect does the resistance have on the decay of the inrush current?
T3.5
Does the breaker closing instant influence the magnitude of inrush? Close the
breaker at 0.1535 s and observe the current on phase A.
T3.6
Enable the ‘single pole operation’ mode of the breaker. Close the poles at instants
when the voltage of the respective phase is at a maximum. Observe results.
T3.7
What situation would cause the transformer to saturate on both halves of a voltage
cycle?

Line Energizing Study:
T3.8
Close breaker # 1 and open breaker # 3.
Include the multiple run component to
control the operation of breaker #2 which is initially open. The closing instant B1 derived
from the multiple run.

T3.9
The breaker closing instant (B1) should be changed for each run. The breaker is
opened 0.15 s after its closing operation. Set the multiple run to switch for 10 sequential
points on a 60 Hz waveform. Record the peak voltage E1 at the receiving end.

Lines on the same right of way:
A 130 km transmission line connects the Generating Station C and Station A. This line
runs parallel to the 55 km line between Station A and the Wind Farm for 20 km from
Station A. The generating voltage is stepped up to the transmission level through an
11/230 kV, Y-Y bank.
T3.10
Extend the model to include the 130 km line and the generator as shown in figure
4. The transmission lines are arranged in a sub page as shown in figure 5.
