The Complex Power Balance
From the conservation of energy
Real power supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the real
powers absorbed by the load and the real losses in the system
Reactive power must also be balanced
The balance is between the sum of leading and the sum of lagging
reactive power producing elements
The total complex power delivered to the loads in parallel is the
sum of the complex powers delivered to each

Complex Power Flow
For a typical power system with small R / X ratio, the
follow observations are made
Small changes in δ1 or δ2 will have significant effect on the real
power flow
Small changes in voltage magnitude will not have appreciable
effect on the real power flow
Assuming no resistance, the theoretical
maximum power (static transmission
capacity) occurs when the angular
difference, δ, is 90° and is given by:
For maintaining stability, the power system operates with small
load angle δ
The reactive power flow is determined by the magnitude
difference of the terminal voltages

System Modeling
Systems are represented on a per-phase basis
A single-phase representation is used for a balanced system
the system is modeled as one phase of a wye-connected network
Symmetrical components are used for unbalanced systems
unbalance systems may be caused by: generation, network
components, loads, or unusual operating conditions such as faults
The per-unit system of measurements is used

Generator Models
Generator may be modeled in three different ways
Power Injection Model - the real, P, and reactive, Q, power of the
generator is specified at the node that the generator is connected
either the voltage or injected current is specified at the connected
node, allowing the other quantity to be determined

reactance, Xd

Load Models
Models are selected based on both the type of analysis
and the load characteristics
Constant impedance, Zload
Load is made up of R, L, and C elements connected to a network
node and the ground (or neutral point of the system)
Constant current, Iload
The load has a constant current magnitude I, and a constant
power factor, independent of the nodal voltage
Also considered as a current injection into the network
Constant power, Sload
The load has a constant real, P, and reactive, Q, power
component independent of nodal voltage or current injection
Also considered as a negative power injection into the network

Per Unit System
Equipment impedances are frequently given in per units
or percentages of the impedance base
The impedance base for equipment is derived from the rated
power and the rated voltage
When modeling equipment in a system, the per unit impedance
must be converted so that the equipment and the system are on
a common base
It is normal for the voltage bases to be the same:

Per Unit System
The advantages of the per unit system for analysis
Gives a clear idea of relative magnitudes of various quantities
The per-unit impedance of equipment of the same general type
based upon their own ratings fall in a narrow range regardless of
the rating of equipment.
Whereas their impedances in ohms vary greatly with the ratings.
The per-unit impedance, voltages, and currents of transformers
are the same regardless of whether they are referred to the
primary or the secondary side.
Different voltage levels disappear across the entire system.
The system reduces to a system of simple impedances
The circuit laws are valid in per-unit systems, and the power and
voltages equations are simplified since the factors of √3 and 3
are eliminated in the per-unit system
