UNIVERSITY OF LONDON IMPERIAL COLLIDE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Department of Electrical Engineering TRANSIENT PHENOMENA IN LARGE INDUCTION MOTORS IN A POWER SYSTEM by Swann Singh KALSI, B.Tech.(Hons.),M.Sc.(Eng.) Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Ensineering LONDON, July 1970. 2 TO DEEP AND ICARAM 3 ABSTRACT As the size of the individual induction motor has increased significantly in the last few years, the behaviour of induction motors-in a power system under fault condition has assumed importance. The two main problems considered are the immediate fault current, which determines the rating of switchgear and the subsequent stability of the system. A standard method of determining the fault contribution made by 1 induction motors to the fault currents in a system is recommended . The basis of the proposals is that an induction motor can be treated in the same way as a synchronous machine. The recommendations are supported by a detailed theory of induction motor transients, in which accurate formulae are derived for the current following a sudden short circuit. The decpbar effectin the squirrel cage motors is theoretically simulated by two equivalent windings on the rotor. The proposed method is a simple one and is particularly useful for determining switchgear ratings in a mixed system containing both synchronous and induction machines, since it uses parameters of. the same kind for both, and permits existing procedures and method of computation to be used without change. The other problems studied on constant speed assumption are listed in Sect. 1.6. The study has been extended to the transient stability of a large induction motor when it forms part of a composite system. A full mathematical derivation of the equations is given, together with a comparison with previously suggested methods. The analysis has been extended to a general multi-machine system also containing synchronous machines. A comparison between the test and calculated results with various methods of machine representation was made on a single model 4 induction motor, and on a simple system containing the motor and a micro-alternator, which is representative of a large generator. The model induction motor was especially designed to simulate a 1800 h.p. induction motor on a per-unit basis, and its main features are the low resistances and the use of a dcepbar cage winding. The accurate representation of induction motors has been shown to be important in a system stability study for reliable and accurate results. It is shown that the stray load losses have an important effect on the prediction of individual machine behaviour, and on the overall system• behaviour when the two types of machines are present. At an early stage of the project, some work was carried out on synchronous machine stability2. This work, described in Part 1V, was a valuable preparation for the investigations as a whole and particularly for the combined system described in Chapter 11. 5 ACKTOWLEDGEnTITS The work presented in this thesis was carried out under the supervision of Dr. B.
