Electrical Power System Study

10/25/2006 6:31 PM

I am electrical engineering student, and one of the subject I am taking is protective relaying and fault study. On industrial power system fault study we individualy model 50HP or greater motors or generators, if less than 50HP we aggregate them together. But what I am wondering is the utility companies when they do their fault study how do they gather and model the fault contribution from their customers motors and generators. How far do they go to detail the system fault current.

depending on the level of study you have got, u might have known about differential protection.

Dear Friend Yr subject of protective relays and fault analysis is the most useful study.Modelling of 50HP motors/their fault contribution study for power system analysis of the industrial plant might b relevant for the particular industry. For utilities/major power stations(Mega/ultra mega)/petrochemicals/refineries the electrical network is quite large and complicated. For system studies fault contibutions from the LT motors is negligible and is generally ignored. Only HT drives(modelling and fault contribution) are considered for arriving at more authentic study.

Utilities, in their load estimate information requests, generally ask
for the 'largest motor, and 'total motor load`, lumping all other loads together.
Some require 2 Nd. & 3 Rd. largest motors, but not too many.

When you're dealing with something as large as a utility grid, the percentage
of reactive load is more important than any individual reactors size.
