Power System: Lesson

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When it comes to power system we are familiar with unit like volt, amp,and watts but in power system there is a unit called "per unit"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's define base power as 100W , which mean any other power will be measure relative to this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200W will be 2 pu (per unit) 50 W will be .5 pu(per unit) so on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by defining two base unit (ie , power and current) , we can eliminate all other variable

OpenStudy (kainui):

Interesting, can you give an example of how you can remove all other variables? I'm familiar with the relation P=IE (power, current, voltage) so is this what you mean, since we can represent E=P/I

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so given base power and base impedence for simplicity , let's think only of real component \[P_{base}=100 W\] \[R_{base}=5 \] From this we can find other base \[P=V^2/R\] from this equation , we can find V which is about V_base P=VI find I , which is our I_base so , we only need to define two base variable and define evertying in per unit

Next we will tackle generator , which is formula and diagram heavy so I will wait for my tablet to arrive
