Voltage Source Elements ================================ Voltage source elements are represented by their internal voltage source with an internal resistance :math:`Z_k`: .. image:: bus_voltage.png :width: 8em :align: center since the voltage source is moved to the fault location for with methodology of the equivalent voltage source, the bus elements can be reduced to a single shunt impedance: .. image:: bus_equivalent.png :width: 10em :align: center The contribution of loads and shunts are negligible according to the standard and therefore neglected in the short-circuit calculation. External Grid ----------------- When calculating maximum short-circuit currents, the impedance of an external grid connection is given as: .. math:: z_{k, eg} =& \frac{c_{max}}{s\_sc\_max\_mva} \\[1em] x_{k, eg} =& \frac{z_{sg}}{\sqrt{1 + rx\_max^2}} \\[1em] r_{k, eg} =& rx\_max \cdot x_{sg} where :math:`rx\_max` and :math:`s\_sc\_max\_mva` are parameters in the ext_grid table and :math:`c_{max}` is the :ref:`voltage correction factor ` of the external grid bus. In case of minimal short-circuit currents, the impedance is calculated accordingly: .. math:: z_{k, eg} =& \frac{c_{min}}{s\_sc\_min\_mva} \\[1em] x_{k, eg} =& \frac{z_{sg}}{\sqrt{1 + rx\_min^2}} \\[1em] r_{k, eg} =& rx\_min \cdot x_{sg} Asynchronous Motor ----------------------- Asynchronous motors can be considered by setting the type variable of an sgen element to "motor". The internal impedance is then calculated as: .. math:: Z_{k, m} = \frac{1}{k} \cdot \frac{vn\_kv^2 \cdot 1000}{sn\_kva} \\ X_{k, m} = \frac{Z_{sg}}{\sqrt{1 + rx^2}} \\ R_{k, m} = rx \cdot X_{sg} where :math:`sn\_kva` is the rated power of the motor, :math:`k` is the ratio of nominal to short circuit current and :math:`rx` is the R/X ratio of the motor. :math:`vn\_kv` is the rated voltage of the bus the motor is connected to. Synchronous Generator ----------------------- Synchronous generators are considered with the short-circuit impedance of: .. math:: \underline{Z}_{k, gen} = K_G \cdot (R''_d + jX''_d) The short-circuit impedance is calculated as: .. math:: z_k = xdss The generator correction factor :math:`K_G` is given as: .. math:: K_G = \frac{V_{N, gen}}{V_{N, bus}} \cdot \frac{c_{max}}{1 + x_{dss} \cdot sin(\varphi)} where :math:`V_{N, bus}` is the rated voltage of the bus the generator is connected to and :math:`V_{N, gen}` is the rated voltage of the generator which is defined by the parameter :math:`\text{sn\_kva}` in the gen table. The rated phasor angle :math:`\varphi` is given as: .. math:: \varphi = arcos(cos\_phi) where :math:`cos\_phi` is defined in the gen table.
