Power Electronics for Energy System (EET424) Laboratory Module

EXPERIMENT 1

Power Source and Voltage Supply Disturbances

Introduction :

In an electrical distribution system the electrical power source are generated at far distances,
transmitted and utilized by consumers of industrial, commercial and domestic. It is unavoidable
that the supply voltage varies according to the loads connected by the consumers. The voltage
variations are usually subjected to time and day, where peak and low demands affecting the
supply voltage levels. On the other hands other disturbances are observed due to power quality
issues. Nevertheless, at any time it is the act that the utility or power provider has to regulate the
voltage to be around 5% of the nominal value at consumer side. Many strategies being
implemented to fulfill the objective which one of it is by using autotransformer.

This lab experiment is to study the effect of load variation and disturbances with respect to the
supply voltage as the real concept in normal distribution system using lab scale autotransformer
module. The student will be grouped in three and to discuss their own experiment procedure
guided by lab facilitator to fulfill the following objectives.

Objectives :

1. To understand and discuss an autotransformer role in electrical distribution system


2. To propose and perform an experiment to characterize the provided lab scale autotransformer
3. To suggest regulation strategy of the power supply system with the autotransformer.
4. To demonstrate the understanding on the power quality issues.

Equipment and Parts :

Be aware !!! The provided lab equipments and accessories have their rated handling capacity
limitation. Be alert. Do not exceed the limits.

1) Resistor load bank (Rx) 1unit


*Take note that the resistor bank is consists of 4 individual resistors which has
the value approximately 200 Ohms, 50W each. You may use multiple combination of series or
parallel connection to achieve different load values.

2) Multimeters -2 units
* Do ensure and double-check the connection is correct for ammeter and voltmeter measurement.

3) APS 9310 regulated AC power source


* Ensure the voltage setting is correct per load requirement before switch ON the supply.

4) Single phase autotransformer module


* Input 24Vac,rms output 80% to 117% (Tap A-D) of input voltage. 30VA rating. Do not short
circuit the output terminals!.
