SYSTEMATIC SHORT CIRCUIT COMPUTATION USING Z BUS
1. 6.11. SYSTEMATICSHORT CIRCUIT COMPUTATION(Z BUS IN PHASE FRAME)
Fautt Analysis using Z-Bus Matrix
Algorithm: In large networks, the network reduction technique is not applicable. By
utilizing the elements ofthe bus impedance matrix, the fault current, bus voltages during the
fault can be easily calculated. To involve the digital computer in short circuit computations, it
is necessary to develop systematic, general computational procedures.
Consider a typical bus ofan n-bus system as shown in Fig.6.15. The system is assumed to
be operating under balanced condition and a per phase circuit model is used.
Step1:Draw the prefault perphase network (positive sequence network)
Each machine is represented by a constant voltage source behind proper reactance
(X, X or X) as shown in Fig.6.16.
Transmission line reactance are expressed in per unit on a common base MVA.
