For which type of WTG can the short-circuit current be controlled? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thecurrent is controlled by the PWM converter in the type 4 generator

Step by step solution

01

Define the formula for the short circuit current.

The formula for the short circuit current for the three type of WTG is given as:

Isc=22VsX'S

Here, X'S is the reactance and X'S

02

Determine explanation for the answer.

Refer to the figure for the type 4 OMSG direct drive WTG diagram in the textbook.

Consider the short circuit current is maintained constant in the type 4 WTG is controlled by PWM converter

Therefore, the current is controlled by the PWM converter in the type 4 generator.

Equipment ratings for the five-bus power system shown in Figure 7.15 are as follows:

Generator G1:50MVA,12kV,X''=0.2perunit.

Generator G2:100MVA,15kV,X''=0.2perunit.

Transformer T1:50MVA,10kVY/138kVY,X=0.10perunit.

Transformer T2:50MVA,10kVโ–ณ/138kVY,X=0.10perunit.

Each 138-kVline: localid="1655450324555" X1=40ฮฉ.

A three-phase short circuit occurs at bus 5, where the prefault voltage is 15 kV . Prefault load current is neglected. (a) Draw the positive-sequence reactance diagram in per unit on a 100โ€MVA,15โ€kV, base in the zone of generatorG2. Determine (b) the Thรฉvenin equivalent at the fault, (c) the subtransient fault current in per unit and inkA rms , and (d) contributions to the fault from generator G2 and from transformer T2 .

The amplitude of the sinusoidal symmetrical ac component of the three-phase short-circuit current of an unloaded synchronous machine decreases from a high initial value to a lower steady-state value, going through the stages of _____ and _____ periods.

For Problem 7.6, determine (a) the instantaneous symmetrical fault current in kA in phase a of the generator as a function of time, assuming maximum dc offset occurs in this generator phase, and (b) the maximum dc offset current in kA as a function of time that can occur in any one generator phase.

For distribution systems, standard reclosers are equipped for two or more reclosers, whereas multiple-shot reclosing in EHV systems is not a standard practice.
