Hi Oliver,

did you consider that the chosen base voltage has to be transformed depending in which voltage level you are calculating?

If you choose e.g. baseMVA = 1MVA and baseV = 20 kV, but your cable is on the 10 kV side of the transformer, you have to calculate the impedance of the transformer, rated to the 10 kV side and the cable impedance with a base voltage of 10 kV. EXCEPTION: If the transformer has a "Übersetzungsverhältnis" different from 1/2 (in this case) you have to consider this also. If your chosen Voltage is 20 kV und the ratio is 1/3, then the rated voltage would be 20/3 kV.

Sincerely/Grüße

Dear Sir or Madame,

I'm a student at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany and I'm 
about to get started in using Matpower for some network analysis problems in 
Low Voltage networks (230V rms). I try to calculate how the voltages at the 
busses/nodes change by adding more decentral energy sources like photovoltaics. 
I tried to use Matpower and have got some problems. It would be very nice if 
you could give me some advice in solving my modelling problem. I'd be very 
happy about any help.


At first view Matpower seems to be usefull for solving these problems. At first 
step I tried to build a network of only to busses (#01 to represent a energy 
source (transformator from medium voltage to low voltage, modelled as a 
generator) (#02: 100kW Load) in order to get to know Matpower itself. But I 
found a problem, which I can't solve right now:
I have to set a baseMVA-Value and a base voltage. So I decided for some values. 
The lower the chosen MVA-Value the bigger the chance that the iteration won't 
converge. But in Low-Voltage I can't use some GVA or TVA-Values just in order 
to get it work, can't I?!
For the Impedance of the branch, connecting both busses, I calculated values 
for a 300m piece of cable. Than I devided the Impedance-values by the 
baseImpedance in order to get p.u. Impedances as claimed by Matpower. The 
baseimpdance was calculated by Basevoltage * Basevoltage / Base power 
(MVA-Value) as written in my collection of formulas.
But the impedances of the branch were so small that there's almost no powerloss and 
no decrease in the voltage between bus 1&  2.
I tried to scale up my Lowvoltage problem by setting 100MW for (real) 100kW and 
230kV for 230V(real). But it didn't work. The modell didn't converge or gave 
wrong values back. So I want to know whats the best way to modell my 
Low-Voltage-problem in Matpower?

In order to give you an idea, what I tried, here are some very short .m-files, which show 
my Problem at the decripted example. The file startbaresSkript is a runable file, which 
calculates the impedances and than passes them into the modell. The modell itself is just 
set up with some 'random' values just to create the structure and fill in correct values 
afterwards by using the "startbareSkript".
Nomenclature: In Germany "U" is used for Voltage and the "_bez" in variable 
names express that Base-Values for p.u. - calculations are ment.
I also tried for the Calculation of the base impedance to scale down the 
MVA-Base and the Base-Voltagein (kV) down to SI-measurement units, but it 
did'nt work either.
Somehow I did'nt found a good way to cope with low voltage networks decripted 
in the manual.

Can you help me?! Which settings have to be done to calculate a 
low-voltage-network with matpower?
The concrete Data are:
230 V (RMS) between phase and neutral Line, 3 phase-model (Star-circuit, 
symmetric Loads and generations!)
Loadvalues somewhere between 2-100 kW at each bus (fix Load/ fix generation)
and a balancing generator representing the connected network to upper 
Voltage-Network-Layers...

I would be really happy, if you could give me some hints, ideas or tipps to 
cope with that problem.
Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely,
Oliver Kopp
