Question:

One technique for limiting fault current is to place reactance in series with the generators. Such reactance can be modeled in PowerWorld Simulator by increasing the value of the generator's positive sequence internal impedance. For the Problem 7.24 case, how much per-unit reactance must be added to G2 to limit its maximum fault current to 2.5 per unit for all three-phase bus faults? Where is the location of the most severe bus fault?

Problem 7.24

PowerWorld Simulator case Problem 7_24 models the system shown in Figure 7.14 with all data on a 1000 MVA base. Using PowerWorld Simulator, determine the current supplied by each generator and the per-unit bus voltage magnitudes at each bus for a fault at bus 3 .
