PI Section, 12-ph with Fault

Description

The PI line model is mainly used for short transmission lines. The equivalent circuit is shown below.

It is assumed that the capacitance on both sides is identical. The RL branches are also coupled. The parameters for the 12-phase PI lines are the same as those for 3-phase PI lines, except that the dimension of the R, L and C matrices representing the impedance and admittance of the conductors is 12x12, instead of 3x3. The 12-phase PI model represents four 3-phase transmission lines in parallel. 

In this model, there is a new parameter for sequences. The neutral coupling between the four line circuits (mutual impedance) is represented only in zero sequence.

This model can be used to simulate an internal fault. However, the number of operations allowed in this model is four (4) per fault element, instead of ten (10) in normal cases.

Type(f,i,u,ug)





Relative time (with respect to POW synchronization) when the command is sent to the breaker (or switch) to change state. There are four ways to input this time.

Important notes:

  • For changes of state to occur, programmed operation times must always respect Tn>Tn-1.

  • If a parameter field is blank or contains “-”, no switching occurs for this line.

  • There is no alias for the type of timing in the API. The timing type and values are entered as a single string.

  • If using referenced operations, the calculated time is applied after it received the command from the other component. See the Referenced Operations section for more information.













Refer to "Time units" parameter

T1 = {'string'}

T2 = {'string'}

T1_2 = {'string'}

T2_2 = {'string'}

...



T1_3 = {'string'}

T2_3 = {'string'}

...



T1_4 = {'string'}

T2_4 = {'string'}

...



Fixed

{f: fixed time}

At each acquisition, Tn command is sent at the same time for all phases selected in "Phase operated".



Incremental

{i: initial time/final time/time increment}

For the first acquisition, Tn command is sent at the set initial time for all phases selected in "Phase operated". Then at each acquisition, Tn command is sent a time increment later than the previous acquisition. Once the final time is reached, the next acquisition is done using the initial time again.



Uniform

{u: minimal time/maximal time}

At each acquisition, Tn command is sent at a random time. The probability is uniform over the specified range. All phases selected in "Phase operated" DO NOT receive the command at the same time, it is also random.



Uniform Gaussian

{ug: minimal time/maximal time/ dispersion}

At each acquisition, Tn command is sent at a random time. The probability follows a Gaussian distribution over the specified range. All phases selected in "Phase operated" DO NOT receive the command at the same time, it is also random.

Use to refer the triggering of Tn to another breaker programmed state transition. See the Referenced Operations section for more information.

Calculation of Electrical Parameters

The EMTP “.pun” format is not allowed with this model. However, the electrical parameters of PI lines can be calculated by using the Line Generator Tab.

Types of fault

The fault breakers are shown in the following figure. The types of faults according to the state of the breakers are listed in the table.




Note: For a phase to ground fault, we strongly recommend using the ground in steady state instead of programming a time of operation in transient state.

In the case of a quadruple (12-phase) line with fault, there are five configurations available:

  • 1 section

  • 2 sections

  • 3 sections

  • 4 sections

  • 5 sections

The user must specify the fault distance on each line. This distance must be calculated from side “1” of the line. If the user does not want to use one of the fault elements, he must set the value of the fault distance to 0 for the fault in question. It should be noticed that the fault distance must be lower than the line length. Given the great number of fault location combinations possible with this model, the fault breakers are positioned at each fault distance on each of the 4 lines making up the model. Considering the case with 4 sections (see the following figure), there are three locations on each line where fault breakers have been positioned.

As shown in the figure, 12 fault elements are available, but only 3 or 4 (and not more than 1 per line) can be operated. The breakers that will be operated are those set by the fault distance parameters. For example, given the following parameters:

  • Fault distance - line 1: 85 km

  • Fault distance - line 2: 40 km

  • Fault distance - line 3: 140 km

  • Fault distance - line 4: 40 km

The following elements will be operated: Flt1_2 (line 1), Flt2_1 (line 2), Flt3_3 (line 3) and Flt4_1 (line 4). Note that if the number of sections required does not correspond to the fault distances entered by the user, HYPERSIM gives an error and stops the study.
