    Introduction

    The electrical power system normally operates in a balanced three-phase sinusoidal steady-state mode. However, there are certain situations that can cause unbalanced operations. The most severe of these would be a fault or short circuit. Examples may include a tree in contact with a conductor, a lightning strike, or downed power line. In 1918, Dr. C. L. Fortescue wrote a paper entitled Method of Symmetrical Coordinates Applied to the Solution of Polyphase Networks. In the paper Dr. Fortescue described how arbitrary unbalanced 3-phase voltages (or currents) could be transformed into 3 sets of balanced 3-phase components, Fig I.1. He called these components symmetrical components. In the paper it is shown that unbalanced problems can be solved by the resolution of the currents and voltages into certain symmetrical relations.

    By the method of symmetrical coordinates, a set of unbalanced voltages (or currents) may be resolved into systems of balanced voltages (or currents) equal in number to the number of phases involved. The symmetrical component method reduces the complexity in solving for electrical quantities during power system disturbances. These sequence components are known as positive, negative and zero sequence components, Fig I.2

    The purpose of this paper is to explain symmetrical components and review complex algebra in order to manipulate the components. Knowledge of symmetrical components is important in performing mathematical calculations and understanding system faults. It is also valuable in analyzing faults and how they apply to relay operations. 1. Complex Numbers The method of symmetrical components uses the commonly used mathematical solutions applied in ordinary alternating current problems. A working knowledge of the fundamentals of algebra of complex numbers is essential. Consequently this subject will be reviewed first. Any complex number, such as jba + , may be represented by a single point p, plotted on a Cartesian coordinates, in which a is the abscissa on the x axis of real quantities and b the ordinate on the y axis of imaginary quantities. This is illustrated in Fig. 1.1

    Fig. 1.1 Referring to Fig. 1.1, let r represent the length of the line connecting the point p to the origin and the angle measured from the x-axis to the line r. It can be observed that

    cos= ra (1.1) sin= rb (1.2)

    2. Properties of Phasors A vector is a mathematical quantity that has both a magnitude and direction. Many quantities in the power industry are vector quantities. The term phasor is used within the steady state alternating linear system. It is used to avoid confusion with spatial vectors: the angular position of the phasor represents position in time, not space. In this document, phasors will be used to document various ac voltages, currents and impedances. A phasor quantity or phasor, provides information about not only the magnitude but also the direction or angle of the quantity. When using a compass and giving directions to a house, from a given location, a distance and direction must be provided. For example one could say that a house is 10 miles at an angle of 75 degrees (rotated in a clockwise direction from North) from where I am standing. Just as we dont say the other house is -10 miles away, the magnitude of

  • 3

    the phasor is always a positive, or rather the absolute value of the length of the phasor. Therefore giving directions in the opposite direction, one could say that a house is 10 miles at an angle of 255 degrees. The quantity could be a potential, current, watts, etc. Phasors are written in polar form as

    = YY (2.1) sincos YjY += (2.2)

    where Y is the phasor, Y is the amplitude, magnitude or absolute value and is the phase angle or argument. Polar numbers are written with the magnitude followed by the symbol to indicate angle, followed by the phase angle expressed in degrees. For example oZ 90110= . This would be read as 110 at an angle of 90 degrees. The rectangular form is easily produced by applying Eq. (2.2) The phasor can be represented graphically as we have demonstrated in Fig. 1.1, with the real components coinciding with the x axis. When multiplying two phasors it is best to have the phasor written in the polar form. The magnitudes are multiplied together and the phase angles are added together. Division, which is the inverse of multiplication, can be accomplished in a similar manner. In division the magnitudes are divided and the phase angle in the denominator is subtracted from the phase angle in the numerator. Example 2.1

    Multiply BA where oA 355= and oB 453= . Solution ( ) ( )ooooBA 453535453355 +==

    3. The j and a operator

    Recall the operator j. In polar form, oj 901= . Multiplying by j has the effect of rotating a phasor o90 without affecting the magnitude.

    Notice that multiplication by the j operator rotated the Phasor A by o90 , but did not change the magnitude. Refer to Fig. 3.1

    4. The three-phase System and the relationship of the 3 In a Wye connected system the voltage measured from line to line equals the square root of three, 3 , times the voltage from line to neutral. See Fig. 4.1 and Eq. (4.1). The line current equals the phase current, see Eq. (4.2)

    The power equation, for a three phase system, is

    LLLIVS 3= (4.5a) cos3 LLLIVP = (4.5b) sin3 LLLIVQ = (4.5c)

    where S is the apparent power or complex power in volt-amperes (VA). P is the real power in Watts (W, kW, MW). Q is the reactive power in VARS (Vars, kVars, MVars). 5. The per-unit System In many engineering situations it is useful to scale, or normalize, dimensioned quantities. This is commonly done in power system analysis. The standard method used is referred to as the per-unit system. Historically, this was done to simplify numerical calculations that were made by hand. Although this advantage is eliminated by the calculator, other advantages remain.

    Device parameters tend to fall into a relatively narrow range, making erroneous values conspicuous.

    Using this method all quantities are expressed as ratios of some base value or values. The per-unit equivalent impedance of any transformer is the same when referred to either

    the primary or the secondary side.

    The per-unit impedance of a transformer in a three-phase system is the same regardless of the type of winding connections (wye-delta, delta-wye, wye-wye, or delta-delta).

    The per-unit method is independent of voltage changes and phase shifts through transformers where the base voltages in the winding are proportional to the number of turns in the windings.

    The per-unit system is simply a scaling method. The basic per-unit scaling equation is

    valuebasevalueactualunitper

    __= (5.1)

    The base value always has the same units as the actual value, forcing the per-unit value to be dimensionless. The base value is always a real number, whereas the actual value may be complex. The subscript pu will indicate a per-unit value. The subscript base will indicate a base value, and no subscript will indicate an actual value such as Amperes, Ohms, or Volts. The first step in using per-unit is to select the base(s) for the system. Sbase = power base, in VA. Although in principle Sbase may be selected arbitrarily, in practice it is typically chosen to be 100 MVA.

  • 8

    Vbase = voltage base in V. Although in principle Vbase is also arbitrary, in practice Vbase is equal to the nominal line-to-line voltage. The term nominal means the value at which the system was designed to operate under normal balanced conditions. From Eq. (4.5) it follows that the base power equation for a three-phase system is:

    Solving for current:

    Because S3base can be written as kVA or MVA and voltage is usually expressed in kilo-volts, or kV, current can be written as:

    It is also a common practice to express per-unit values as percentages (i.e. 1 pu = 100%). (Transformer impedances are typically given in % at the transformer MVA rating.) The conversion is simple

    100_ valuepercentunitper =

    It is frequently necessary, particularly for impedance values, to convert from one (old) base to another (new) base. The conversion is accomplished by two successive application of Eq. (5.1), producing:

    In most cases the turns ratio of the transformer is equivalent to the system voltages, and the equipment rated voltages are the same as the system voltages. This means that the voltage-squared ratio is unity. Then Eq. (5.9) reduces to

    There are two balanced configurations of impedance connections within a power system. For the wye case, as shown in Fig. 4.1, and with an impedance connection of Z , the current can be calculated as

    Where is between o90 and + o90 . For greater than zero degrees the load would be inductive ( aI lags aV ). For less than zero degrees the load would be capacitive ( aI leads aV ). The phase currents in the balanced three-phase case are

    = opa II 0 (6.4a) = opb II 120 (6.4b) = opc II 240 (6.4c)

    See Fig. 6.2. for the phasor representation of the currents. 7. Symmetrical Components Systems The electrical power system operates in a balanced three-phase sinusoidal operation. When a tree contacts a line, a lightning bolt strikes a conductor or two conductors swing into each other we call this a fault, or a fault on the line. When this occurs the system goes from a balanced condition to an unbalanced condition. In order to properly set the protective relays, it is necessary to calculate currents and voltages in the system under such unbalanced operating conditions. In Dr. C. L. Fortescues paper he described how symmetrical components can transform an unbalanced condition into symmetrical components, compute the system response by straight forward circuit analysis on simple circuit models, and transform the results back into original phase variables. When a short circuit fault occurs the result can be a set of unbalanced voltages and currents. The theory of symmetrical components resolves any set of unbalanced voltages or currents into three sets of symmetrical balanced phasors. These are known as positive, negative and zero sequence components. Fig. 7.1 shows balanced and unbalanced systems.

    Fig. 7.1

  • 13

    Consider the symmetrical system of phasors in Fig. 7.2. Being balanced, the phasors have equal amplitudes and are displaced 120o relative to each other. By the definition of symmetrical components, 1bV always lags 1aV by a fixed angle of 120o and always has the same magnitude as 1aV . Similarly 1cV leads 1aV by 120o. It follows then that

    11 aa VV = (7.1a) 1

    211 )2401( aa

    ob VaVV == (7.1b)

    111 )1201( aao

    c aVVV == (7.1c)

    Where the subscript (1) designates the positive sequence component. The system of phasors is called positive sequence because the order of the sequence of their maxima occur abc. Similarly, in the negative and zero sequence components, we deduce

    22 aa VV = (7.2a) 222 )1201( aa

    ob aVVV == (7.2b)

    22

    22 )2401( aao

    c VaVV == (7.2c)

    00 aa VV = (7.3a) 00 ab VV = (7.3b) 00 ac VV = (7.3c)

    Where the subscript (2) designates the negative sequence component and subscript (0) designates zero sequence components. For the negative sequence phasors the order of sequence of the maxima occur cba, which is opposite to that of the positive sequence. The maxima of the instantaneous values for zero sequence occur simultaneously.

    Fig.7.2

    In all three systems of the symmetrical components, the subscripts denote the components in the different phases. The total voltage of any phase is then equal to the sum of the corresponding components of the different sequences in that phase. It is now possible to write our symmetrical

  • 14

    components in terms of three, namely, those referred to the a phase (refer to section 3 for a refresher on the a operator).

    210 aaaa VVVV ++= (7.4a) 210 bbbb VVVV ++= (7.4b) 210 cccc VVVV ++= (7.4c)

    We may further simplify the notation as follows; define

    00 aVV = (7.5a) 11 aVV = (7.5b) 22 aVV = (7.5c)

    Substituting their equivalent values

    210 VVVVa ++= (7.6a) 21

    20 aVVaVVb ++= (7.6b)

    22

    10 VaaVVVc ++= (7.6c) These equations may be manipulated to solve for 0V , 1V , and 2V in terms of aV , bV , and cV .

    0 (7.7a)

    ( )cba VaaVVV 21 31 ++= (7.7b) ( )cba aVVaVV ++= 22 31 (7.7c)

    It follows then that the phase current are

    210 IIIIa ++= (7.8a) 21

    20 aIIaIIb ++= (7.8b)

    22

    10 IaaIIIc ++= (7.8c) The sequence currents are given by

    The unbalanced system is therefore defined in terms of three balanced systems. Eq. (7.6) may be used to convert phase voltages (or currents) to symmetrical component voltages (or currents) and vice versa [Eq. (7.7)]. Example 7.1

    Lets tie it together. Symmetrical components are used extensively for fault study calculations. In these calculations the positive, negative and zero sequence impedance networks are either given by the manufacturer or are calculated by the user using base voltages and base power for their system. Each of the sequence networks are then connected together in various ways to calculate fault currents and voltages depending upon the type of fault.

    Given a system, represented in Fig. 8.1, we can construct general sequence equivalent circuits for the system. Such circuits are indicated in Fig. 8.2.

    Each of the individual sequence may be considered independently. Since each of the sequence networks involves symmetrical currents, voltages and impedances in the three phases, each of the sequence networks may be solved by the single-phase method. After converting the power system to the sequence networks, the next step is to determine the type of fault desired and the connection of the impedance sequence network for that fault. The network connections are listed in Table 8.1

    impedance networks are connected in parallel. Fig. 8.7 Double Line-to-Ground fault - All three impedance networks

    are connected in parallel. Fig. 8.9 The system shown in Fig. 8.1 and simplified to the sequence network in Fig. 8.2 and will be used throughout this section.

    10. Symmetrical Components into a Relay Using a directional ground distance relay it will demonstrated how sequential components are used in the line protection. To determine the direction of a fault, a directional relay requires a reference against which the line current can be compared. This reference is known as the polarizing quantity. Zero sequence line current can be referenced to either zero sequence current or zero sequence voltage, or both may be used. The zero sequence line current is obtained by summing the three-phase currents. See Fig. 10.1

    From Eq. (7.9) ( ) rcba IIIII ==++ 03 (10.1) This is known as the residual current or simply 03I . The zero sequence voltage at or near the bus can be used for directional polarization. The polarizing zero sequence voltage is obtained from a broken-delta and a grounded wye voltage transformer. See Fig 10.2

    Example 10.1

    0=aV puV ob 238022.1 = puV oc 122022.1 =

    ooV 122022.1238022.103 0 ++=

    puo18025.3 = The zero sequence voltage is puo18025.3 . By connecting the value in the reverse gives 03V which equals puo025.3 . Plotting this, we can show in phasor form what the relay sees, Ia lagging 03V by the line angle. In this case resistance is neglected, therefore Ia lags by 90o. (see Fig 10.3).

    Sympathetic TrippingSympathetic TrippingTransient pickup of relays or other healthy

    feeders due to the conditions created by ya fault on another feeder of the system. (Othman, Mamdoh and Karnal)

    Example: Fault on transmission system causes voltage to temporarily sag on distribution system with a lot of low distribution system with a lot of low inertia induction motors (air conditioners), and the feeder trips

    Solution is to raise the pickup of the feeder relays.

    - Beckwith gets into the interconnection protection business- Hot until late 1980s when tax incentive terminated

    Late 1990s DG again hot- Driven by high utility rates and de-regulation- DGs can generator cheaper at source of consumption

    + Peak Shaving and Load Following- Hot until early 2000s when natural gas prices increased

    Late 2000s Green Power drives resurgence of DGs- Regulates require utilities to generator a portion of their

    power from green sources.

    DG Interconnection Protection

    - Too many cooks in the kitchen Owner, consultant, packager, utility

    - Ownership boundaries

    - Conflicting objectives of DG owners vs. Utility Want everything for nothing Want to pay for nothing

    Making sure protection is correct and operational over the life of the installation- Settings are properly developed

    - If system or installation changes, assess the impact on the existing protection

    Loss of parallel operation (anti-islanding)- Voltage and frequency (27, 59, 81-U, 81-O) ; power (32F, 32R-U);

    instantaneous overvoltage (59I) , rate-of-frequency change(81R),Transfer Trip

    - Based on load (real and reactive) not equaling generation Except 59I, which is based on self-excitation of resonant

    induction and synchronous generators with pole top capacitors

    Fault backfeed detection- Ground over/under voltage (27N, 27N/59N), ungrounded systems- Phase and ground overcurrent (51V, 51N), grounded systems

    Directional overcurrent (67, 67N) and impedance (21) may beused

    - Negative sequence overcurrent (46), detects ground faults- All based on sensing abnormally high current or

    abnormally low/high voltage as a result of faults

    sequence current and voltage- Phase sequence reversal (47), negative sequence voltage- Loss of synchronism (78)- Based on severe quantity imbalance (including reverse phase

    rotation) or power system and DG going out of step

    Abnormal power flow detection- DG Export (32F)

    L DG I t (32R U)- Low DG Import (32R-U)- Transformer magnetizing (32F, very sensitive)- These strategies are used when the DG is sized so it cannot

    physically or contractually export (peak shaver)
