Distribtuion network design assignment

Sep 14, 2007 1 Replies

I'm working on a university assignment where I have to calculate a few things for an 11kV distribution network. The first thing I have to do is work out the zone sub transformer impedance. There are 2 x 25MVA subs for the 11kV network. I have to choose an impedance so that the fault level does not exceed 10.1kA and also so that the maximum voltage regulation of the transformer is 10% (assume purely inductive on 0.9 lagging PF). I've done thing so far but it's not making sense.



to satisfy fault level: working on 100MVA base fault level = 10.1kA = (root(3)*11kV*10.1kA)MVA = 1.982pu with 2 transformers, each will have fault level divide by 2 so 1.982/2 =



0.96pu Z = 1/0.96 = 1.04pu so for the fault level to not exceed 10.1kA, the transformer impedance should be >= 1.04pu

to satisfy voltage regulation (10%): P= 0.25pu, with V = 1pu, I = 0.25pu |V|=|I||Z|



0.1 = 0.25*Z Z = 0.4pu so for regulation to be

I make that 1.92 pu

OK,

OK

OK but they are 25 MVA transformers, so you have to correct back to a 25 MVA base I make it 26% or 0.26 pu on the 25 MVA rating.

OK
