RE: Fault Analysis and Computation: Backbone for Power System Protection
I find fault analysis to be one of the most interesting parts of power system analysis even though occurrence of fault could mean that some users of the grid may have been thrown into darkness when a fault occurs.
I was waiting for you to break out the equations but it seems you don't want to lose us poor lay people. Your explanation are always so clear that one could prepare for a test on any topic you treat and di very well in the test except if the test is on calculation of certain parameters involved in the topic.
I wonder why line to line fault clear of earth isn't common though.
Thanks for a well detailed post.
Thanks for the time you spent in reading through and your input. Most of the faults in power system involves earth because most of the things that causes short circuit like tree falling across line are not suspended in air but grounded.Also the metal lattice tower is grounded ans as such faults involving earth predominates. Thanks for your time ans comment.
Your diagrammatic description of the different types of fault in Power system made it easy to appreciate. The straightforward analysis of unbalanced fault is difficult but with the introduction of the method of symmetrical components simplifies it and substitutes a balanced fictitious set of currents and voltages which will be eliminated at the end by Synthesis matrix to get back the phase voltages and currents. Thanks for the wonderful piece.
