4.I INTRODUCTION
A complete diagram of a
power
system representing
all the
three
phases
becomes too complicated for
a system of
practical
size,
so much so
that it
may
no longer
convey the information it is
intended to
convey. It
is much
more
practical
to represent a
power
system
by means of simple
symbbls
for
each
component
resulting in what is called
a one-line diagram.
Per unit system leads to
great
simplification
of three-phase
networks
involving transformers.
An impedance
diagram drawn
on a
per
unit
basis does
not require ideal transfbrrners to be
included in it.
An important element of a
power
system is the
synchronous
machine, which
greatly
influences the system behaviour
during
both steady
state and
transient
conditions. The
synchronous machine model
in steady
state is
presented
in
this
chapter. The transient model of the
machine will
be
presented
in
Chapter
9.
4.2 Single-Phase
Solution of Balanced Three-Phase
Networks
The solution of a three-phase network under
balanced
conditions
is
easily
carried out by solving the single-phase network corresponding
to
the ref'erence
phase.
Figure 4.1
shows
a
simple, balanced three-phase
network.
The
generator
and load neutrals are therefore at the same
potential,
so that In
=
0. Thus
the
neutral impedance Zn does not affect network
behaviour.

The currents and

in the other
phases
have
the same
magnitude
but
are

phase

conesponds
to
the
single-phase network of Fig.

whose solution completely
determines
the
solution
of the three-phase network.
