determine that there is not failure between system elements, produced during the installation of cable
and accessories system. Another checkup is done to the insulation resistance after they had made the
connections and terminals and that the cable system is ready for the acceptance tests. The insulation
resistance value depends on the insulation material, cable size, its length and temperature and can be
51

Page 52 of 157
determined theoretically by the following expression:

Ra = .. k log D/d (Ohms - km)
Where:
Ra = is the insulation resistance
D = is the diameter over the insulation.
d = is the diameter under insulation.
k = is the constant of insulation at 15.6 C
The values of the k constant must be requested from the manufacturer of the cable depending on the
type of insulation or consult with the Standard corresponding to each product.
The Ra value must be corrected for temperature according to manufacturer's specifications and length.
In making the correction for length, remember that the insulation resistance varies inversely with it.

this case, suspend the test, discharges cable, thoroughly cleaned terminal and resume test.
Usually A curve is obtained.
"C" Curve indicates the possibility of a bubble, unclean or damaged wire insulation or
connections. In most cases, the test voltage starts aerial ionization content in the bubble,
producing high heat energy that causes the destruction of insulation, causing the failure.
"D" Curve occurs in some cases where there is humidity or contaminants in the terminals. If the
curve does not go down the slope after following the procedure outlined in B, it may be faulty
workmanship during handling, installation or connections and terminals (are common due to
the presence of semiconductor materials on the insulation).
"E" Curve indicates the presence of humidity, however, is not sufficient to produce failure. It
occurs commonly in wet cables.

a) Bus is a charge hub; however, we can extend this definition to all that electric grid point where
we want to know the magnitude of the voltage.
b) Type of buses.
b1)
Bus type I (loading bus) engines or any other type of load can be connected in this type
of bus. The output bus power is defined as a positive amount; the dependent variables
are the voltage magnitude and angle.
b2)
Bus Type II (Bus generation) is a type of bus where real power is generated and
classified into two forms: "A" class bus generation, in which the real and reactive power
is fixed in magnitude. "B" class generation bus is a bus with solution for voltage
conditions at each load bus.
b3)
Type III Bus (compensator bus, oscillator, swing or slack) this type of bus must provide
the difference between the total real and reactive powers of the other buses, plus
network losses.
c) Link. It is the electrical interconnection between a pair of buses.

This study must be performed on projects where electric power generation is available. The objective is
to obtain the drawing critical times of failure and loss of stability conditions.
It must have the following structure:
Operation conditions
To analyze the stability of the system, only for feasible operating conditions from the short circuit and
charge flow point of view of. Within these conditions, the following alternatives must be analyzed:
Normal operation.
Minimum generation.
Maximum generation.
Ways to operate with or without the supplying company.
2) Data
There are two basic methods: the first one uses alternating solution cycles of the differential equations
of each one of the machines and the network equations, the second method includes the direct
numerical integration of the oscillation equations.
Steady-state solution and numerical integration through the first one of the above methods. It starts
from the consideration that the failure occurs at the selected point in time t = 0.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
h)
The steady-state model of the electric grid provides the initial solution for voltage and currents
of each one of the machine at the immediately preceding instant the occurrence of failure, from
these values, the electrical power delivered by the generators at t = 0 is determine.
With electric power values for each of the machines and the corresponding differential
equations that describe the rotors angles and the frequency, these variables are determined for
time t = delta t (the mechanical power P remains constant).
With the new values of frequency and rotor angle at t = delta t, we solve again the steady-state
model of the electrical network and thus we obtain new voltage values, consequently obtaining
the electric power corresponding to the generators in that instant of time.
The alternative process described in 2 and 3, is repeated until t = t1, which is the time of failure
release.
The release of the fault changes the network topology.
Once the network topology is modified, points 1 to 3 are repeated until the maximum time
study, which varies between 0.5 and 1.0 sec.
The variation of the rotors angles (tao), as a time function, constitutes the oscillation curves,
the nature of the oscillation curves will allow to infer the stability degree of each one of the
machines.
The study must be repeated several times for the fault release, the maximum fault release value
for which stability is preserved on all machines is known as fault release critical time.

In general, the factors that influence the transient stability are:

a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Generator loading.
Location of the fault or event.
Fault release time.
System topology with after fault conditions.
Generator reactance. A lower reactance increases the peak power and reduces initial angle of
the rotor.
Generator inertia. The higher the value of the inertia, the slower the rate of change angle. This
reduces the kinetic energy gained during the fault.
Generators own voltage. This depends on the field excitement.
Voltage magnitude on the infinite bus of the supplying company.
f)
g)
h)
3) Results
a)
Rotor-Time Angle Graphics for faults in the main system buses indicating fault releasing critical
time.
Conditions in which the system is unstable.
b)
Recommendations of critical times for fault release on main buses.
