Learning Unit 5.1: Per Unit Systems

Introduction
▪ Answers to electrical engineering problem are often required in terms of
Volts, Amperes, Ohms and KVA.
▪ In other processes of computation, it is more convenient to express the
Voltages, currents, impedances and power in terms of percentage (%) or
per-unit.
▪ This is achievable by selecting a base or reference value for each of
these quantities.
▪ Therefore, the per-unit value of any quantity is defined as the ratio of the
quantity to its base value expressed as a decimal.
actual value
Per unit value =
base value
▪ The actual value is the actual value of the voltage, current, power or
impedance as it appears in the power system (in volts, Amps, Watts, Ohms) .
▪ The new base value is determined and is usually the value that leads to
confusion in the early state of per-unit application.
▪ To prevent this confusion, it will help to remember the following rules:
▪ The value of Snb is the same for the entire system concerned once it is chosen.
▪ The ratio of the voltage bases on either side of a selected transformer, to the same
as the ratio of the transformer voltage ratings.
▪ The value of Vnb is a chosen value, but will vary from one zone to another zone.

An electrical lamp is rated 120 volts, 500 watts. If the voltage applied
across the lamp is twice the rated value, compute the current that flows
through the lamp. Use the per-unit method.

▪ Since we have computed all Vpu for the new base, then the per-unit
and the terminal voltages of the generator are calculated as follows:
VPU(gen) = VPU(Trans) + VPU(line) + VPU(load) V(terminal) = VPU(gen) .Vbase
5.2 Three-phase Per-Unit Systems

▪ The load current of the three-phase system can be computed using the
following power equation: PLoad = √3 .Vload .ILoad .cosɸ
▪ The base current of the load can be calculated as follows:

How do we determine the generator terminal voltage is the sketch shown above?
