Group Assignment
Instructions:
1. To be handed in on Friday 03 November2008. Late submission will not be accepted.
2. Use Hand Calculations, Matlab Software and PowerWorld Simulator (will be put on Vula) as
appropriate. Students should work in group of 2 or 3 at maximum.
3. The assignment should be typed. Should have an introduction and conclusions. Indicate the references
used (books, journals, articles, etc.).
Problem 1
In the three-bus system shown in Figure 1 the magnitude of the voltages at bus 2 and bus 3 are given as:
V2 0.950 pu and V3 0.90 p.u. The Loads connected at buses 2 and 3 are SL2 = 0.40+j0.24 pu and SL3 =
2.05+j0.12 pu, respectively. A generator G is connected to bus 1 through a transformers T which has a
reactance XT = 0.05 pu. The generator supplies load 2 through a transmission line of reactance Xl = 0.1pu.
By considering bus 1 as a slack bus with |V1| = 1 pu and δ1 = 0o . Find:
(a) The complex power supplied by the generators G and the losses SL23 on line 2-3.
(b) It is required to improve the magnitude of the voltage at bus 3 to V3 1.02 p.u. by
connecting capacitor bank in parallel to load SL3. What should be the size of the capacitor
bank in MVAr? Assume that the Base voltage at bus 3 is VB = 232 kV and the system MVA
base is SB = 100 MVA.

Problem 2
Figure 2 shows a single-line diagram of a 5-bus power system with 1 generating unit and 5 branches. Bus 1 is a
slack bus, with V1= 1.00 pu, bus 2, 3, 4 and 5 are load buses. The scheduled loads at the buses 1-5 are given
in Table 1. The lines series impedances and shunt admittances data are listed in Table 2. The system base is 100
MVA.
1. Neglect line resistances and investigate the losses on the lines, and compare with case 2 (2)
2. Neglect line resistances and shunt admittances, investigate the losses on the lines, and compare results
with case 2 (2), and case 3 (1).
