Question Details

For the three-bus lossless power network shown in the figure, the voltage magnitudes at all the buses are equal to 1 per unit (pu), and the differences of the voltage phase angles are very small. The line reactances are marked in the figure, where α, β, γ and x are strictly positive. The bus injections P1 and P2 are in pu. If P= mP2, where m > 0, and the real power flow from bus 1 to bus 2 is 0 pu, then which one of the following options is correct?

A

γ = m β

B

β = m γ

α = m γ

D

α = m β

Correct Answer :

Option A

γ = m β

Solution :

The correct option is:
γ = m β

Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Analyze the Given Network from the Image:
From the schematic of the three-bus lossless power network:
- The line reactance between bus 1 and bus 2 is X 12 = α x .
- The line reactance between bus 1 and bus 3 is X 13 = β x .
- The line reactance between bus 2 and bus 3 is X 23 = γ x .
- The voltage magnitude at all buses is | V 1 | = | V 2 | = | V 3 | = 1 pu .
- The phase angles at bus 1, bus 2, and bus 3 are θ 1 , θ 2 , and θ 3 respectively, and their differences are very small.

2. Apply DC Power Flow Approximation:
For a lossless system with flat voltage profile (1 pu) and small angle differences, the active power flow P i j from bus i to bus j is given by:
P i j = θ i - θ j X i j

3. Condition for Zero Power Flow between Bus 1 and Bus 2:
We are given that the real power flow from bus 1 to bus 2 is 0 pu. Therefore:
P 12 = θ 1 - θ 2 α x = 0
Since α and x are strictly positive, this directly implies:
θ 1 = θ 2

4. Formulate Power Injection Equations:
Using nodal equations, the power injected at bus 1 ( P 1 ) is:
P 1 = P 12 + P 13 = 0 + θ 1 - θ 3 β x = θ 1 - θ 3 β x
Similarly, the power injected at bus 2 ( P 2 ) is:
P 2 = P 21 + P 23 = - P 12 + θ 2 - θ 3 γ x = 0 + θ 2 - θ 3 γ x
Substituting θ 2 = θ 1 into the equation for P 2 :
P 2 = θ 1 - θ 3 γ x

5. Relate the Injections:
We are given that P 1 = m P 2 . Taking the ratio of P 1 to P 2 :
P 1 P 2 = θ 1 - θ 3 β x θ 1 - θ 3 γ x = γ x β x = γ β
Substitute P 1 P 2 = m into the equation:
m = γ β
Rearranging terms, we obtain:
γ = m β
