Primary Voltage Considerations Transmission Voltage Impacts the distribution bus voltage Amount of load current peak, high, normal, light Type of conductor Impedance of the conductor plays significant role What type of regulation LTC Bus Circuit Supplemental 2
Voltage Drop - DC Remember Ohm s Law? The voltage drop calculation is quite easy Only need to know the resistance of the conductor, the load current and the sending voltage V I R V L V S ( I R) 3
Voltage Drop DC If the voltage is constant (DC) there is only the line resistance contributing to the voltage drop Sending Voltage = V S line impedance R Receiving Voltage = V L Load V D = I*R V L V S Volt Drop Vs - V L IR 4
Feeder Voltage Profile The voltage profile of the circuit is not constant throughout the load cycle 5

Facts about Power Systems Distribution systems are dynamic Circuit loads change with the load cycle Circuits have various load types Constant Impedance Constant Current Constant KVA Customers expand and contract Circuits change configuration Transmission voltages are not constant (i.e. Voltage Drop Calculator for DEED.xlsx) (i.e. VoltageDropCalculator.xls) (I.e. Motor Application Tools.xls) There are many different styles and sizes of XFMRs The distance between the loads is not the same So, how can we reduce calculations? 10
A Typical Radial Distribution System A Circuit supplies many loads with varying density R Main line 3Ø Lateral taps - 3Ø, 2Ø, and/or 1Ø 11
Case 1: Concentrated load at end of feeder The ANSI C84.1 voltage range must be maintained Distribution Transformer line impedance Receiving Voltage = V L R jx Sending Voltage = V S Concentrated Load Minimum Load Current Maximum Load Current Max Volts Min Supply Load 12
Basic Application Guideline A uniformly distributed load on a feeder will create half of the voltage drop of a similar load lumped at the end of the feeder. However, the distribution circuit is not uniformly loaded. However, it can be reduced to sections that are assumed uniformly loaded and then the lump sum equivalent would be used at specific distances. 13
Modeling Your Circuit Lumped load Method If you combine all of the load in a switchable section at the switch, a good worst case model can be developed Use peak demand for the greatest voltage drop Use light load for the least voltage drop Do not forget to add in capacitors 14
Lumped Load Modeling Diagram kva1 kva2 kva3 kva4 Circuit1 Station B L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 DISTRIBUTED LOAD Volts Max Min Supply Distance Tie Point 15
Lumped Load Modeling Steps One can assume a uniformly distributed load Assume balanced 3-phase load. Add KVA total per phase (ᶲA,ᶲB,ᶲC) Take the total load of the circuit and divide by the distance in feet. One can argue that only the three phase line needs to be used but there are many instances where a very long single phase tap can have excessive primary voltage drop. The load is attached to the model in even increments at equal distances. The smaller the distance divisions, the more intervals that require calculation 16
Secondary Networks and Service Drops 17
Secondary Layout considerations Primary voltage applied at the transformer terminals Do not assume rated voltage Distance and conductor from the transformer to the PCC or service entrance of the customer For single phase services the V d is doubled Other customers that are served on the same secondary conductor. Be aware of the load limit of the secondary cable Special equipment and motors 18
Secondary Layouts Try to locate the transformer at the load center This does not depend upon the number of service drops It is dependent upon the demand of each service Hs 1 Hs 3 Hs 5 Hs 7 150ft 170ft Hs 2 Hs 4 Hs 6 Hs 8 kva 19
Secondary Layout Problem Where would the transformer be placed if the load was as follows House #4 installs Central air Secondary is 0.16ohms per thousand feet Service cables are 100ft and 0.39ohms per thousand feet Hs 1 4.2kW Hs 3 2kW Hs 5 1.6kW Hs 7 2.9kW Hs 9 4.2kW 150ft 170ft Hs 2 3.8kW Hs 4 3.4kW Hs 6 4kW Hs 8 3.2kW Hs 10 3.8kW 20
Typical voltage drops of system components Residential wiring 2-4 volts Service drop 1-2 volts Secondary 2-3 volts Distribution transformer 2-3 volts Primary feeder 2-3 volts Total drop (sum of all) 9-15 volts As you review the circuit voltage profile, keep in mind that the service entrance or PCC voltage should not be below 114 volts during peak load conditions. The peak load condition of the customer may not be at the same time as the peak load of the circuit. 21

What is a Capacitor? Application of Shunt Capacitors Energy storage device made of parallel conductive plates separated by an insulating medium (oil, Vacuum) Used in power system mainly to improve PF and increase voltage 25
Applying Shunt Capacitors Improves the power factor Reduces voltage drop Improves voltage regulation (switched capacitors only) Reduces system losses Reduces peak kw and kvar demands on system, thus: Increasing feeder capacity Releasing transmission & generation capacity 26
Two ways to operate the bank Fixed bank This bank is always on the system supplying VArs as long (as the fuse is in service) Switched Bank This bank is placed in service only when the VAr demand of the system exceeds the fixed supply The banks can be placed At the Transmission/Distribution substation On the Utility s distribution system On the customer s system 27

Example: A 13.2kV circuit is supplying 6895kVA at 90 percent power factor. Calculate the consumed kw and kvar Apply 1800kVAr to the circuit Calculate the new pf, and kva How much kvar is required for unity pf? kva kw kvar pf 6895 6205.5 3005.5 0.90 1800-1800 6321 6205.5 1205.5 0.98 34
Placement of Capacitor banks 35
Tips Try to maintain the voltage rise between 2 and 5 percent. Locate as close as possible to the demand for kvar. The total voltage rise is dependent upon the circuit impedance back to the source. The resulting decrease in the reactive current flow will also contribute to the voltage increase. Pay attention to the feeder regulation and the voltage level at the application point. Keep in mind that the core losses of the distribution line transformers will increase with the increase in voltage. Use computer models for better accuracy 36
Voltage Profile With a Capacitor Bank V s Feeder end Substation With Capacitor Voltage Without Capacitor Sub. Cap. Bank Distance from Substation end 37
Voltage Rise due to Capacitor I is the total current before correction Once the switch is closed, Ic reduces I by supplying the needed VArs at the application point Due to the reduced total current, the voltage drop between the sending and receiving points is reduced This is why capacitors are viewed as a voltage source 38
Calculating Voltage Rise Relationship This can be seen graphically by solving the vector diagram with segregated capacitor current and load current vectors Voltage where : X I C C Rise X reactance C I C between line to neutral Note :TrytoMaintain( 2% V capacitor kvar of capacitor per phase kv and source Rise 5%) 39

The modified 2/3 Rule Calculate or record the demand kva and pf between switch points on the circuit Determine the kva and pf for the four load levels Place 2/3 of the required capacitors at 2/3 of the distance down the feeder between switching points. If more capacitor banks are required for peak loads, install one or two switched banks. If one, 1/2 of the distance of the circuit If two, 1/3 and 2/3 of the distance Watch the voltage rise! 42
added An example of the relationship between kw and kvar demand. Assume station capacitor is on during peak. Fixed would be 300kVAr. Switched would be 450kVAr One 300 timed One 150 current Example of cap banks 43
Fixed and Switched Capacitors An effective program of capacitor placement for distribution feeders is to determine the size of a fixed bank by the 2/3 rule to meet the VAr demand requirements for the normal load demand located between two switch points. Note that the power factor for customer classification during normal load demand periods will not be the same for peak periods. Add a switched bank equal to the VAr demand at high load periods Then add an optimally sized switched bank which is switched on during the period of peak reactive demand Make sure that voltage rise does not exceed 5% 44

Summarizing Points Capacitors Are used to provide VAr support (power factor correction) Are not a voltage source By reducing the reactive current, provide less voltage drop Can be applied as fixed or switched Fixed banks are on all the time and should be sized appropriately Switched banks should be in two stages The application of the capacitors will improve the efficiency of the system and relieve capacity 58
Voltage Control 59
Common Voltage Problems Common problem are: Low Voltage This can be corrected via line regulation, the addition of capacitor banks, transformer taps, decreasing the resistance by changing conductor or by using combinations Flickering lights More common during low voltage (peak) situations Happens due to rapid changes in the voltage seen by the light fixture High Voltage Causes increased losses in transformer cores 60

Three Phase or Single Phase? The decision involves cost and application Three Phase units Work best for circuits serving 3 phase balanced load Phase control is gang operated therefore one phase can be outside the desired bandwidth Single phase units Allows the engineers to regulate each phase independently Best application for circuits that serve large percentage of single phase load Higher maintenance costs 70

Operational considerations Time delay settings Regulator should not respond to short duration voltage sags. Time delays of downstream regulators must be coordinated. Delays in the range of 30 to 90 seconds are typical. Bandwidth or sensitivity settings Cannot be smaller than smallest possible tap change amount. Most utilities use 1.5 to 3 volts. 77
Operational considerations Place Regulator to Neutral and Nonauto when switching or tying to other sources. Check to make sure the float voltage is not too high, the bandwidth is correct and that the LDC is correctly established. 78

Line Drop Compensation (LDC) LDC is used to correct for voltage drop on the circuit Must know the CT and PT ratio of the regulator control circuit Requires knowing the distance and the impedance of the circuit (R&X value) Need to know the existing voltage levels before changing the compensation Factor in all capacitor banks Watch out for the voltage regulation impact on transformers with secondary taps Where is the best starting point? Answer: where the voltage drop from the source to the application point is equal to the voltage drop from the application point to the end of the circuit 81
Equations to Calculate LDC Settings In the case of 3f regulators; 3 single f regulators; or one 1f regulator on the circuit To calculate R LDC and X LDC in ohms: R LDC = R L x (CT Ratio/PT Ratio) X LDC = X L x (CT Ratio/PT Ratio) To calculate R LDC and X LDC in volts: R LDC = R L x (CT Primary Rating/PT Ratio) X LDC = X L x (CT Primary Rating/PT Ratio) 82

Why Regulators have time delay? Why controller of the regulator has a time delay feature? To avoid reaction to rapid changes in the load demand occur which can cause the voltage to exceed the settings Capacitor switching, Motor Starting To prevent arc caused by movement of regulator s contacts There is a maximum number of changes that the regulator can do before failure may occur To maintain the voltage without excessive operations of the controller 84
Why Regulators have Time delay settings? 30 Sec. Time Delay 40 Sec. Time Delay Cascading regulators requires proper time delay settings. Allow the station regulators to operate before any supplemental line regulators 85
Controller Volts 30-second time delay setting The voltage level must exceed the bandwidth for 30 seconds before the tap changer will respond In this case, no tap change occurs 120.75V 120.00V 119.25V 12 118.50V 5 10 20 30 40 Seconds 86
