1.1. Introduction: General Overview of Electric Networks

An electrical network is a set of interconnected electrical components in a way that allows


to transmit electric energy from the production centers to the electricity consumers.
An electrical distribution, important and complete, includes the following various parts:
Electric power production plants; Power plants;
A network of (very) high voltage transmission lines;
> Transformation, interconnection, distribution substations; > Distribution line networks in
medium voltage;
Transformation stations (cabinets), associated with low voltage utilization lines.
In this chapter, we will review some different methods of producing electrical energy.
varieties of topological structures of networks, multiphase systems, more specifically systems
balanced and unbalanced three-phase systems.

1.2. Production of electrical energy


Production consists of using various energy sources to drive alternators which often,
produce three-phase voltages and currents.
We distinguish between production plants: thermal, nuclear, hydraulic, wind, solar,
geothermal (dry steam turbines), etc. The advantages and disadvantages of each type arise
mainly from the ease of operation and maintenance of resources and especially from the efficiency of processing
of energy.

1.3. Interconnection, transport, and distribution of electrical energy


Electric energy can be transported either by single-phase or multiphase alternating current at different levels of
voltage with a given frequency, or by direct current.
Alternating current systems are universally used due to the significant advantages they offer.
and those with direct current are reserved for certain specific applications.
For technical and economic reasons, electricity production centers are concentrated on
a relatively small number of sites; as for the numerous consumers, they are spread across the entire
territory.
In order to ensure the various connections between each other, it is important to establish electrical lines.
which allow the transit of electric power.
These lines are connected to each other through electrical substations which are nodes consisting of
particularly electrical equipment, transformers, measuring devices, control devices and
control, etc.
Networks are therefore made up of branches (meshes or antennas) formed by electrical lines and
posters.
The entire network ensures the transit of energy from production centers to various centers of
consumption and also achieves a certain pooling (interconnection) of production means. The

consumers.
Practically, a number of networks perform various specific functions among which the boundaries
are not always accurate and are subject to change over time with the operating conditions.
We distinguish:
Transport and interconnection networks;
Distribution networks;
Distribution networks.

1.4. Topological structures of electrical networks

The topological structure of an electric network is that which appears on a map; it is not sufficient for

Networks must ensure the transit of energy with the maximum safety despite various infringements.
they can be victims (lightning, pollution, mechanical shocks, etc.) and the damage that may result.
We can enhance security:
By improving the reliability of the equipment;
By ensuring adequate preventive maintenance;
By improving the construction provisions;
By increasing the number of circuits, transformers, ..., this is particularly costly.
It is therefore important to find a compromise between the cost of additional investments and that of the
potential failure, which can be drawn by the energy that may not be distributed. This compromise cannot be
the same depending on the functions provided by the networks, their voltage, the type of users connected to them.
This leads to different network topologies, including radial, looped networks, and those
meshed.
Each branch between two consecutive nodes i and j will be represented by its equivalent schematic and it is common
in the practice of knowing the load at node i by its power and its power factor.
1.4.1. Radial networks
Their configuration is that found in the operation of distribution networks whose voltage sources
are composed of one or more step-down transformer(s).
The voltage supplied by each of these sources can be variable, following the fluctuations of the high voltage network.
to which the transformer is connected, or adjustable if the transformation ratio can be modified.

Figure 1.1 below illustrates the diagram of a radial network. The calculation of such a network is particularly easy.

Fig.1.1: Illustration of a radial or antenna network

1.4.2. Mesh networks

These are networks in which the links form loops, most of which have common sides, realizing
thus a structure similar to the mesh of a net.
In these networks, energy transits in the different branches can easily escape any control.
precise.
This structure is generally used for transport; figure 1.2 below shows the mesh structure of a
electric network.

1.4.3. Closed networks

A looped network is a simplified mesh network featuring a number of closed loops. Each of
loop contains a limited number of sources.

1.5. Polyphase Systems

Generally, electrical energy is distributed to most industrial installations by systems.

A polyphase system is defined as a set of sinusoidal quantities of the same frequency.
out of phase with each other. The multiphase system of magnitudes is then called "phase system".
A -phase system is said to be 'symmetric or balanced' if the effective values of its sinusoidal quantities are
equal and if the phase shift between two consecutive quantities is worth, otherwise the phase system is said to be "non-symmetric".
you unbalanced.
The different polyphase systems are:
Biphase system: it is a system that does not conform to the definition of a multiphase system because it would require a
phase shift between the magnitudes. In this particular system, we take for the calculation of the phase shift and for the
number of phases.
Three-phase system:
Tetra phase system:
Hexa phase system:
In the following, we are particularly interested in the three-phase system.
The phase or rotation operator for a three-phase system is defined by:
P (~) -- With.

The voltage phasors ~ ~ ~) on the three phases in a node of a direct symmetrical three-phase system are defined
by the following phasors:

The symmetric system is completely defined by a single reference phasor ~.

The voltage phasors ~ ~ ~ ) on the three phases at a node of an inverse symmetrical three-phase system are
defined by the following phase shifters:

This symmetrical system is also completely defined by a single reference phasor.

1.6. 1. The different faults in the electrical network

Before discussing the different faults in the electrical network, we will first start by giving
the general structure of the electrical network

from the clientele (figure I.7). Only voltage drops greater than 10% are considered here (the amplitudes
lower ones fall into the category of "voltage fluctuations". Their duration can range from 10 ms to several
seconds, depending on the location of the short circuit and the functioning of the protective devices (the faults
are normally eliminated in 0.1-0.2 seconds in HT, 0.2 seconds to a few seconds in MT.

Figure I.7: Tension hole

They are characterized by their: amplitude and duration and can be single-phase or three-phase depending on the number of
concerned phases.
Voltage dips can trigger equipment when their depth and duration
exceed certain limits (depending on the particular sensitivity of the loads). The consequences can be
extremely costly (restart times amounting to hours or even days; data loss
informatiques ; dégâts aux produits, voire aux équipements de production...).

I.6.2.2 Short interruption or brief outage

A short interruption is the complete loss or disappearance of the power supply voltage for a period of
time of 1/2 cycle up to 3 s. It occurs when the supply voltage or charging current decreases to
less than 0.1 p.u.
The release of voltage faults and brief interruptions are mainly caused by short circuits.
attributable to natural network incidents and maneuvers of protective devices eliminating these faults. They
are also the result of calling significant powers during the commissioning of certain loads of the
network.

I.6.2.3 Voltage or overvoltage bosses

The voltage swell is an increase in voltage above the nominal voltage of 1.1 p.u for a duration of
0.5 cycle at 60 s. It is characterized by its amplitude and duration. It can cause overheating and destruction.
components.

I.6.2.4 Voltage drops

When the flow in an electrical line is significant, the current flow in the line causes
a drop in voltage (figure I.8). The voltage is then lower at the end of the line than at its origin, and the longer the line
is charged in power transit, the voltage drop will be greater.

Figure I.8: Case of a consumption powered by a line from a power plant

If the consumption doubles, the voltage drop doubles.

Figure I.9: Case of high consumption supplied by a line from a power plant

A network in which consumption is distant from production will present a different voltage profile.
of that of a network in which production and consumption are evenly distributed (figure I.10). Each
The power plant imposes the voltage at its output, and the voltage evolves in the network according to the supplied consumption.

That is why in high voltage mesh networks, the voltage differs depending on where one is located. At the

at consumption points far from power plants.
Figures (I.8) (I.9) (I.10) are valid for a given moment, at a given level of consumption. When the
consumption varies over time, the voltage evolves, decreasing when consumption increases, rising again
when consumption decreases.
The fact that the voltage is not the same at every point in the network is normal. This difference is compensated by
voltage adjustments made in the substations. This ensures that the voltage remains within
the acceptable range at all delivery points.

An electric cable has its own resistance depending on its length and cross-section, so we need to

A small part of the electricity carried by an electrical cable is transformed into heat, so there is a generation of heat.
a drop in voltage commonly referred to as Voltage Drop or Joule effect. If a drop occurs in
tension, meaning a decrease in the voltage flowing through the electric cable, then there will also be a decrease in
the intensity in Amperes.

What the NF C 15-100 standard says about voltage drop in the domestic electrical installation:
The NF C 15-100 standard imposes a voltage drop of a maximum of 3% between the main circuit breaker and
the terminal circuits of the electrical installation: sockets, lighting, specialized circuits….
If the measurement of the voltage at the connection circuit breaker is 230V, the acceptable limit voltage at the level
The terminal circuits are therefore at 223V. (3% of 230V is approximately 7V).

I.6.2.5 Voltage imbalance

Voltage imbalances usually occur in the presence of a charge imbalance and their
current calls. Indeed, all three-phase loads must draw the same current on each phase. As for the
single-phase loads connected to a three-phase network must be distributed as evenly as possible among the
three phases. In addition, some voltage imbalances result from the operation and nature of the equipment
of the electrical network.

In figure I.11, the currents absorbed on the three phases are of different amplitudes, hence some
voltage imbalances. These voltage imbalances generate reverse current components that

can reach 3 %.
HOW TO DETECT A VOLTAGE IMBALANCE ISSUE?
Here is how to obtain a good approximation of the imbalance in a network:
Measure the three phase-phase voltages.
2. Calculate the average tension.
3. Determine the voltage that has the greatest deviation from the average.
4. Calculate the ratio between this deviation and the average voltage.

If the report is greater than 2%, it is recommended to intervene internally.

I.6.2.6 voltage fluctuation or flicker

Flickering or blinking (flicker in English) is a fluctuation in electrical voltage caused by


electromagnetic perturbations or by variations in power on the carrier network of this voltage.
By extension, the flicker effect is also called the variation in luminance of a light source due to the variation of
the power supply voltage of this source. Thus, flicker effect is also referred to as the flickering of a screen.

I.6.2.7 The harmonics

Linear and nonlinear charges


A load is said to be 'linear' if the current it absorbs is sinusoidal when it
is powered by a sinusoidal voltage. This type of receiver does not generate
of harmonic.

Non-linear loads result in a current from the network that is not purely sinusoidal.
Only the fundamental at 50 Hz of this distorted current contributes, along with the voltage, to
the contribution of the active power consumed by the equipment.
Non-linear loads generate harmonics
The current harmonics do not bring this power (because their frequencies
are different from 50 Hz) but unfortunately contribute to increasing
uselessly the effective intensity of the current carried by the power cables

A periodic signal of frequency f can be expressed as the sum of:
• A constant term that corresponds to the continuous component (i.e., the average value over time)
• A sinusoidal term of frequency f (it is the fundamental or harmonic of rank 1)
• A sinusoidal term of frequency 2f (second harmonic)
• A sinusoidal term of frequency 3f (3rd harmonic)

• The apparent power of the load is by definition: S = V x I

3.5. Deforming power


In the presence of harmonics, S²≠P² + Q²
We introduce the notion of deforming power D such that S² = P² + Q² + D²

3.6. Power factor


By definition, the power factor is equal to: P P
PF = =
S √ P² + Q² + D²
14

What to remember: In a purely sinusoidal environment: PF = cos


In a harmonic environment: PF < cos φ

Ieff= I1 √1+ THDI2

A purely sinusoidal alternating current is summarized by its fundamental (first-order harmonic).


So V = V1 (Vn = 0 for n 2)

4.2. Expression of powers


The expressions for voltage and current allow for the simplification of those for power.
• Active power P = V I1cos 1
• Reactive power Q = V I1without 1

• Apparent power S=VI=V √ +


• Deforming power D² = S² - (P² + Q²)
D = V I1x THDI
D = V IH

Remarks:
• The harmonics of the current (order do not play any role concerning the active power
• The harmonics of the current (order do not play any role concerning reactive power
• The deforming power is directly related to the presence of current harmonics (rank 2).

Chapter 2: Protection System Element

2.1. Introduction: means of protection

PROTECTIONS AGAINST ABNORMAL NETWORK SITUATIONS


They include:
overload protections, which cut off power to equipment subjected to excessively high currents,
susceptible to deteriorating them or making them dangerous.
the protections against out-of-sync breaks, designed to prevent the triggering of alternators
centrals when one of them, or several of them, rotates at a different speed from the rest of the others
alternators delivering on the same network
the load-shedding protections, aimed at restoring the balance between production and consumption, and thus preventing a fall
of frequency likely to lead to a general collapse of the means of production.
THE AUTOMATONS
Most of the defects caused by lightning on aerial works disappear spontaneously after a few
tenths of seconds after the equipment is powered off. After certain checks, it is then possible to reconnect
the equipment under pressure. Automata are responsible for these checks. Other automata allow, when
several works are offline, to quickly bring back into service those that are healthy. Others
allow to avoid overload triggers through preventive maneuvers on other departures. Others,
finally, are used to maintain a correct voltage on the network, by acting on the regulators of the transformers.
THE THERMAL RELAY
It is a device that protects the downstream receiver against overloads and phase cuts. To do this, it
constantly monitors the current in the receiver. In case of overload, the thermal relay does not act directly.

It will cut off the power to the contactor in the control section via an auxiliary contact.
THE SELECTIVITY
Within an industrial electrical network, the protection of property and people requires the implementation of a
protection plan based on the definition and adjustment of protective equipment complying with certain
principles of selectivity. That is, each protection must trigger for the faults assigned to it and
do not trigger unnecessarily for others.
SENSITIVITY
Line protections must be able to detect faults for all operating schemes.

2.1.1 protection against voltage dips and outages

We generally distinguish between voltage dips, short-duration interruptions, and long-duration interruptions.
Generally, all these phenomena are caused by the same incidents: short circuits. The location on

of protections. A connection point will only be affected by a cut if it is part of the isolated section.
Typically, this occurs when a short circuit happens on the cable or power line of the point of
connection concerned or on a neighbor's installation.
We distinguish three categories of hollows based on the number of phases involved:
Type I: Mainly a drop from one of the phase-neutral voltages
Type II: Mainly due to a phase-phase voltage drop
Type III: The tensions on the three phases are affected equivalently.
Types I and II are typically caused by single-phase or two-phase short circuits.
Type III is the result of three-phase short circuits.
To protect against voltage dips:
1. Use low voltage relays E in the contactor group, they serve as a safety function when the
the power supply voltage is too low.
2. Use direct current power supplies rather than alternating current: because they inherently have a
energy reserve. They are typically less sensitive to dips (e.g. contactors with
excitation winding at cc).
3. Provide conditioned power supplies for control equipment: the installed power of equipment
The cost of the protection to be anticipated is therefore often justifiable.
To do this, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are generally used.
It is important to note that the reliability of an UPS unit largely depends on the condition of the batteries. A

They are due to the causes:


1. Internal: they come from the electrical devices themselves, particularly during switching on or off.
2. External: lightning,
It is necessary to plan for the installation of surge protectors, lightning rods, and ground wires.

2.1.3 protection against voltage drops

Reduce losses and voltage drop in an electrical cable. To maintain optimal efficiency, one
try in general to limit the loss to 3%, therefore there are several solutions to achieve this.
Limit the distance traveled by the current.
It is enough to minimize the distance between the energy source and the consumption of that energy.
In the context of battery use, the battery should be placed as close as possible to the components that will
consume the current.
2. Increase the section of the electrical cables.
The huge advantage of this solution is that it is possible to significantly reduce current loss as soon as
that we increase the section of the electrical cables, however, the cost can prove to be significant if the consumed intensity
is high or if the distance is important. To be reserved for average distances of 10m maximum according to our
calculations.
3. Reduce the intensity in electrical cables.
There are 2 very simple solutions.
The first is to connect your devices in parallel from the power source as much as possible because instead of
Having a consumption of 100w on an electric cable, you can for example switch to 4 x 25 watts on 4.
different cables. This leads to an additional cost in terms of the length of the cables since you will need 4 times more
length, it is therefore necessary to make a cost calculation between upper section or upper length.
The second solution is to increase the voltage upstream, meaning that instead of starting with
12v for example we will start at 48v and you just have to connect your devices in series to reach this
Tension is 4 devices 12v in series on a 48v output. The downside is that via a solar system +
battery it is quite difficult to find panels and batteries operating at 48v and you still need to ensure that your
Devices accept series connection. Reserved for those who have knowledge in electricity...
4. Limit the heat in the cables.
This solution will not bring a significant improvement, however a gain is a gain and nothing should be overlooked.
Place your cable close to the floor rather than running it along the ceiling where heat accumulates, for example.
bury an outdoor cable rather than leaving it exposed if it is already 30°C outside.

2.1.5 protection against voltage imbalances

They are caused by short circuits and unbalanced loads. Their existence alters the balance of
electrical quantities present.
Voltage imbalances affect all three-phase equipment, especially motors, as they
They then experience an unwanted braking couple that results in overheating. Any imbalance of voltage
greater than 2% leads to overheating of the equipment, which requires over-sizing them to compensate
this overheating and prevent premature degradation. There is no standard for the acceptable threshold of
voltage imbalance on electrical networks,
HOW TO PROTECT EQUIPMENT AGAINST VOLTAGE IMBALANCES?
1. It is necessary to ensure that the internal loads are well balanced and that the equipment is equipped with
adequate protections.
2. Use phase unbalance protection relays, they serve the function of monitoring
the phase wave L1, L2, L3.

2.1.6 protection against harmonics

Given the risks that harmonic pollution poses to electrical installations, it is advisable
to eliminate the harmonic currents generated, using filters. Passive filters: Passive filters are tuned to
the frequency to be eliminated or that can attenuate a range of harmonic frequencies: Active filters (figure II.2),
active harmonic compensators cancel harmonics by injecting harmonic currents
exactly equal where they occur. This type of filter reacts in real time to existing harmonics to
eliminate them. They are more flexible and efficient than passive filters. In figure II.3, the current is shown

The parallel active filter is used for the depollution of low voltage (BT) and medium voltage (MT) networks. Its total impedance with respect to the
the source and the load give it good self-adaptability with appreciable performance.

The Power Factor
In an environment where there are only linear loads, the Power Factor is simply the Cosine of
the phase angle between the Voltage and the Current at a frequency of 50HZ is the Cos φ.
In the presence of non-linear loads, the cos φ is no longer applicable, we will talk about the POWER FACTOR.
In a non-harmonic environment: FP = Cos φ
In a harmonic environment: FP < Cos φ

distance, and where the cutoff function is dissociated from the control function. The voltage and current of

The first truly 'practical' relay was created in 1837, thanks to American inventor Samuel F.B. Morse (yes,
the one who invented the famous alphabet of the same name), who himself relied on the work of the physicist
British Charles Wheatstone (yes, the one to whom we owe the famous measuring bridge that bears his name).

3.1.1 Electromechanical relays


An electromechanical relay is equipped with a winding as a control element. The voltage applied to this

Advantages of the electromechanical relay

Disadvantages of the electromechanical relay

• Control element having a significant inductive component (after all, it's a coil),
causing a significant surge when the current flowing through the coil is interrupted (law of
Lenz). This necessitates the use of at least one protective component (a diode for example) to
protect the control circuit if it is of the electronic type.
• Presence of rebounds during switching, the transition from the ON state to the OFF state (or vice versa) is not
"net" (same mechanical bounce phenomenon observed in switches). It is interesting
to know that the number of bounces, and therefore the speed of the straightforward contact, depends on the current of

Chapter III Protection of network elements

["Protection of alternators and motors","Protection of busbars","Protection of transformers"]


Protection of lines, distance and differential.
3.1INTRODUCTION
Rotating electric machines can, like all industrial equipment, be affected
functional defects. These defects generally render them unfit for more or less long term,
to ensure their service, and disrupt the operation of other equipment. The defects, as well as the
abnormal operating conditions must therefore be detected as quickly as possible and
cause the electrical disconnection between the machine and the network to which it is connected.

The role of electrical protection relays for alternators and motors is to detect, among the
various possible defects, those of electrical origin, and to develop the necessary actions of
signaling and opening of the cutoff device connecting the equipment to the network.

3.2 Reminder on electric machines


Electric machines can be classified based on the criterion of the mode of production of the rotating field.
From the inductor: Synchronous machines and Asynchronous machines.

3.3 Role of electrical protections


3.3.1 Prevention of Damage to Machinery
Rotating electrical machines are sized and designed for a given service and cannot
function beyond this service without risk of degradation. The role of electrical protections is to
detect variations in electrical quantities leading to exceedances of allowable limits
for the components, and to operate the disconnection device isolating the machine from the network. These constraints
may be of nature:
— electric, related to the operating voltage of the winding;
thermal, related to the maximum temperature tolerated by the insulators;
—mechanics, related to the holding of conductors, insulators, and various materials (shaft, shimming) to the
efforts to which they are subjected.
The electrical protection relays therefore contribute to limiting the damage to machines in case of
of abnormal operation or malfunction. They automatically cause their disconnection from the network or
simply triggering an alarm if the level of stress is not too high, thus allowing for
the operator to take timely appropriate measures to ensure the safeguarding of the equipment.

Internal origin defects


[Link] Alternators

the stator winding. At this stage, the short circuit is generally permanent. A short circuit can occur

A short circuit can also occur between two turns or two bars of the same phase.
The insulation of the rotor winding conductors can also be faulty, most often due to

-mechanical, due to wear of insulators or failure;
—thermal, due to lack of general or localized cooling;
—electric, through piercing the insulation or, most often, by bypassing due to pollution
An asynchronous machine can also experience a loss of electrical power of
the inductor.
[Link] Engines
The damage affecting the stator winding of motors is of the same nature as that related to
alternators. However, it is likely that a short circuit between two phases will develop more quickly in
short-circuit with the mass, due to the relatively more compact dimensions of the casing and the circuit
magnetic. The insulation defects of the rotor winding only concern motors
asynchronous wound rotor or synchronous motors, the rotor bars of asynchronous motors
cages not being isolated from the mass. The causes of these defects are of the same nature as the alternators,
although the degradation kinetics may be faster due to the smaller dimensions of these
machines. The rotor bars of squirrel-cage induction motors can break under the effect of
excessive constraints due to too many or too close start-ups.
External origin defects
[Link] Alternators
Groups consisting of a turbine or a thermal engine and a generator can be either
directly connected to a distribution system (factory network, self-producer), or connected to the
general system of electricity production-transport-distribution, or network through a
step-up transformer, called main transformer (MT) (figure III.1).

(TS).
The faults that can affect the electrical system are of different natures:
Short circuits, whether single-phase or multi-phase, can occur:
— on the direct connection between the alternator and the grid, or between the alternator and the TP and/or the TS;

—on the connection between the TP and the electrical system;


—on the power supplies for auxiliary services.
The imbalances between the production and consumption of electrical energy may be due to:
a lack of production, resulting in a decrease in the frequency of the turbo-generator set;
a surplus of production, resulting in an increase in the frequency of the turboalternator group;
a deficiency in load distribution, mainly reactive, causing an overload in current

acts on the corresponding cut-off organ. The cut-off organs are of different types, depending on
of the power of the auxiliary:

fuses;

In distribution networks, they allow:

these losses of a factor of 100 (Losses = R (called Pappelée / U)²),
• To minimize the voltage drops, resistive (R) and reactive (X) at a given transmitted power (U I cosφ)
(∆ U ≈ R I cosφ + X I sinφ)
• Eventually, to ensure galvanic isolation between networks of the same voltage (property boundary,
change of neutral regime...). Although it is rare to voluntarily interrupt a distribution

of exploitation, for example:
