ЁЯУЛ Given

Initial per unit impedance Zpu(old)=0.9Z_{pu(old)} = 0.9Zpu(old)тАЛ=0.9, Old base power Sb1=20┬аMVAS_{b1} = 20 \text{ MVA}Sb1тАЛ=20┬аMVA, Old base voltage Vb1=33┬аkVV_{b1} = 33 \text{ kV}Vb1тАЛ=33┬аkV, New base power Sb2=50┬аMVAS_{b2} = 50 \text{ MVA}Sb2тАЛ=50┬аMVA, New base voltage Vb2=11┬аkVV_{b2} = 11 \text{ kV}Vb2тАЛ=11┬аkV

ЁЯФв Formula Used

Zpu(new)=Zpu(old)├Ч(Sb2Sb1)├Ч(Vb1Vb2)2Z_{pu(new)} = Z_{pu(old)} \times \left( \frac{S_{b2}}{S_{b1}} \right) \times \left( \frac{V_{b1}}{V_{b2}} \right)^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=Zpu(old)тАЛ├Ч(Sb1тАЛSb2тАЛтАЛ)├Ч(Vb2тАЛVb1тАЛтАЛ)2

ЁЯФв Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify the per-unit impedance formula

To change the base of per-unit impedance, we use the conversion formula which accounts for both power and voltage level changes.

Zpu(new)=Zpu(old)├ЧSb2Sb1├Ч(Vb1Vb2)2Z_{pu(new)} = Z_{pu(old)} \times \frac{S_{b2}}{S_{b1}} \times \left( \frac{V_{b1}}{V_{b2}} \right)^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=Zpu(old)тАЛ├ЧSb1тАЛSb2тАЛтАЛ├Ч(Vb2тАЛVb1тАЛтАЛ)2

2

Substitute the given values into the formula

Plug in the known variables: Zpu(old)=0.9Z_{pu(old)} = 0.9Zpu(old)тАЛ=0.9, Sb1=20S_{b1} = 20Sb1тАЛ=20, Sb2=50S_{b2} = 50Sb2тАЛ=50, Vb1=33V_{b1} = 33Vb1тАЛ=33, and Vb2=11V_{b2} = 11Vb2тАЛ=11.

Zpu(new)=0.9├Ч(5020)├Ч(3311)2Z_{pu(new)} = 0.9 \times \left( \frac{50}{20} \right) \times \left( \frac{33}{11} \right)^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=0.9├Ч(2050тАЛ)├Ч(1133тАЛ)2

3

Calculate the ratio values

Simplify the fractions: 5020=2.5\frac{50}{20} = 2.52050тАЛ=2.5 and 3311=3\frac{33}{11} = 31133тАЛ=3. The square of 3 is 9.

Zpu(new)=0.9├Ч2.5├Ч(3)2=0.9├Ч2.5├Ч9Z_{pu(new)} = 0.9 \times 2.5 \times (3)^2 = 0.9 \times 2.5 \times 9Zpu(new)тАЛ=0.9├Ч2.5├Ч(3)2=0.9├Ч2.5├Ч9

4

Final multiplication

Perform the final calculation: $0.9 \times 22.5 = 20.25$.

Zpu(new)=20.25Z_{pu(new)} = 20.25Zpu(new)тАЛ=20.25

тЬЕ

B is correct because applying the per-unit impedance conversion formula with the given base values yields a final result of 20.25.
