Shunt reactor modeling with non-linear inductance

Submitted by Andrew.Robertson on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 19:04

I am wanting to model a 50 MVAr 132 kV shunt reactor (1.11 H), which is being supplied as part of a 132 kV cable project.

As I am looking at ferroresonance issues, I'd like to model the reactor as a non-linear reactor.

How do I translate the reactor design parameters to a current versus flux relationship ?

The reactor must be linear to 130% pu of rated voltage (= 171.6 kV ph-ph). Maximum flux density in iron at power frequency, principal tapping and 130% rated voltage is 2.1 T. This is the only information available as it is still under construction.

Negative Voltage MPLOT

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to the software and have been doing some analysis on EMPT using a frequency dependent model. I was wondering if someone could explain or refer me to a paper/journal/book, as to why I see negative voltage plots using this method and only positive voltages when using a constant parameter model. Does it have to do with the initial conditions on each phase (ie 1.1pu of say 118, -59, -59) and a negative polarity surge (ie connecting -ve end of current source to the system)

Cheers
