Option A

0.99

Quick Summary: Given: System reactive power Q = 1 MVAR, Short circuit capacity S_sc = 81.34 MVA/phase.

📋 Given

System reactive power Q = 1 MVAR, Short circuit capacity SscS_{sc}Ssc​ = 81.34 MVA/phase.

🔢 Formula Used

Q=Vs2−VsVrX=Vs(Vs−Vr)X,Ssc=Vs2X  ⟹  VrVs=1−QSscQ = \frac{V_s^2 - V_s V_r}{X} = \frac{V_s(V_s - V_r)}{X}, \quad S_{sc} = \frac{V_s^2}{X} \implies \frac{V_r}{V_s} = 1 - \frac{Q}{S_{sc}}Q=XVs2​−Vs​Vr​​=XVs​(Vs​−Vr​)​,Ssc​=XVs2​​⟹Vs​Vr​​=1−Ssc​Q​

🔢 Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify Relationship

The change in voltage due to reactive power flow in a system is related to the short circuit capacity (SscS_{sc}Ssc​). The voltage drop can be approximated using the ratio of reactive power to short circuit capacity.

Vs−VrVs≈QSsc\frac{V_s - V_r}{V_s} \approx \frac{Q}{S_{sc}}Vs​Vs​−Vr​​≈Ssc​Q​

2

Rearrange for Ratio

We need the ratio of receiving end voltage (VrV_rVr​) to sending end voltage (VsV_sVs​). Rearranging the approximation formula gives:

VrVs=1−QSsc\frac{V_r}{V_s} = 1 - \frac{Q}{S_{sc}}Vs​Vr​​=1−Ssc​Q​

3

Substitute Values

Substitute Q=1Q = 1Q=1 MVAR and Ssc=81.34S_{sc} = 81.34Ssc​=81.34 MVA/phase into the equation.

VrVs=1−181.34\frac{V_r}{V_s} = 1 - \frac{1}{81.34}Vs​Vr​​=1−81.341​

4

Calculate Final Result

Performing the division 1/81.34≈0.01231 / 81.34 \approx 0.01231/81.34≈0.0123, then subtracting from 1.

VrVs≈1−0.0123=0.9877≈0.99\frac{V_r}{V_s} \approx 1 - 0.0123 = 0.9877 \approx 0.99Vs​Vr​​≈1−0.0123=0.9877≈0.99

✅

A is correct because the ratio of receiving end to sending end voltage, calculated as 1−(Q/Ssc)1 - (Q / S_{sc})1−(Q/Ssc​), yields approximately 0.99.

Reactive Power Short Circuit Capacity Voltage Regulation
💡 EXAM TIP

This concept is a cornerstone of Power System Analysis, specifically in understanding grid strength; a higher short circuit capacity implies a 'stiffer' grid with less voltage fluctuation.
