Overview

PROGRAM FUNCTION: Calculates transfer of complex power between two AC buses

DESIGNED FOR: HP-33S (using RPN mode)

DIRECTLY PORTABLE TO: No other models

SIMILAR PROGRAMS TAILORED FOR: HP-32S, HP-32SII, and HP-33S (using ALG mode)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

This program calculates the total active (real) power "P" and reactive power "Q" injected into either end of an AC line or pair of paralleled AC lines joined by two buses. The AC line(s) may be three-phase or single-phase.

Each AC line is modeled with one set of "balanced-pi" parameters of series resistance, series reactance, and shunt susceptance. The AC bus voltages are defined in terms of rms magnitudes and a phase-angle difference.

The program includes a routine "Z" that will calculate the equivalent parameters of a parallel line-pair, if needed. The user may also run "Z" separately as a stand-alone program.

IMPORTANT: This program was written for RPN logic. Each routine places the HP-33S in RPN mode via an "RPN" instruction in their second lines. Users who normally operate the HP-33S in Algebraic (ALG) mode should consider the Algebraic-mode version of this program.

INPUT VARIABLES (in order of entry):

VariableDescriptionUnit of measureNotes
VVoltage magnitude at first bus[per unit](1)
WVoltage magnitude at second bus[per unit](1)
DVoltage-angle difference between buses[degrees](2)
RSeries resistance of line[per unit](3)
XSeries reactance of line[per unit](3)
BTotal shunt susceptance of line[per unit](4)
RSeries resistance of second line[per unit](3,5)
XSeries reactance of second line[per unit](3,5)
BTotal shunt susceptance of second line[per unit](4,5)
Notes
(1)1-phase lines: Base voltage is rms nominal line-ground (LG) voltage
3-phase lines: Base voltage is rms nominal line-line (LL) voltage = sqrt(3)*LG
(2)Positive-valued angle difference is inputted for voltage at the first bus leading that of the second bus; negative-valued angle difference is entered for a lagging first-bus voltage.
(3)Base impedance for R and X is the squared base voltage divided by power base (100 MVA in line P0028).
(4)Base admittance for B is the reciprocal of base impedance.
(5)R, X, and B for the second line are to be input only if two lines are modeled.

OUTPUT VARIABLES (in order of display):

VariableDescriptionUnit of measureNotes
P, SReal power injected by first bus[MW](6,7)
Q, TReactive power injected by first bus[MVAr](6,8)
PReal power injected by second bus[MW](6)
QReactive power injected by second bus[MVAr](6)
stack xReal-power consumption (losses) on the line[MW](6)
stack yReactive-power consumption on the line[MVAr](6)
Notes
(6)These units (MW or MVAr) assume a base voltage in kV and base power of 100 MVA.
(7)P is re-stored to variable S when second-bus power is calculated.
(8)Q is re-stored to variable T when second-bus power is calculated.

PROCEDURE:
