Why p.u.?
• To bring down the range of these parameters power, voltage, current, impedance within a narrow
range.
• Advantageous with respect to specifying impedance values referred to particular side of
transformer.
Per Unit Values
• The main parameters are voltage, current, power and impedance. Base values of any two
parameters should be chosen and the base values of the other two parameters should be
obtained using the relationship with other parameters.
• Usually, we choose the base values of voltage and power and obtain the base values of current
and impedance.
• Divide the network into different sections on the basis of the location of transformer.
• Obtain the base values of voltage in other sections using the voltage ratios of the transformers.
• Convert all impedances in p.u. corresponding to the base values in that section.
Example
A power system consists of one synchronous generator and one synchronous motor connected by two
transformers and a transmission line. Create a per-phase per unit equivalent circuit.
