Quick Summary:

Given: Original impedance ZoldZ_{old}ZoldтАЛ = 0.2 pu, Base 1 (kVтВБ) = 11 kV, Base 1 (MVAтВБ) = 50 MVA ┬╖ New base values: Base 2 (kVтВВ) = 22 kV, Base 2 (MVAтВВ) = 150 MVA.

ЁЯУРMAMath SolutionDirect Formula
ЁЯУЛ Given

Original impedance ZoldZ_{old}ZoldтАЛ = 0.2 pu, Base 1 (kVтВБ) = 11 kV, Base 1 (MVAтВБ) = 50 MVA ┬╖ New base values: Base 2 (kVтВВ) = 22 kV, Base 2 (MVAтВВ) = 150 MVA.

ЁЯФв Formula Used

Znew=Zold├Ч(MVAnewMVAold)├Ч(kVoldkVnew)2Z_{new} = Z_{old} \times \left( \frac{MVA_{new}}{MVA_{old}} \right) \times \left( \frac{kV_{old}}{kV_{new}} \right)^2ZnewтАЛ=ZoldтАЛ├Ч(MVAoldтАЛMVAnewтАЛтАЛ)├Ч(kVnewтАЛkVoldтАЛтАЛ)2

ЁЯФв Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify given parameters

We have initial impedance Zold=0.2Z_{old} = 0.2ZoldтАЛ=0.2 pu at base values Vbase1=11V_{base1} = 11Vbase1тАЛ=11 kV and Sbase1=50S_{base1} = 50Sbase1тАЛ=50 MVA ┬╖ We need to convert it to ZnewZ_{new}ZnewтАЛ for Vbase2=22V_{base2} = 22Vbase2тАЛ=22 kV and Sbase2=150S_{base2} = 150Sbase2тАЛ=150 MVA.

Zold=0.2,V1=11,S1=50,V2=22,S2=150Z_{old}=0.2, V_1=11, S_1=50, V_2=22, S_2=150ZoldтАЛ=0.2,V1тАЛ=11,S1тАЛ=50,V2тАЛ=22,S2тАЛ=150

2

Apply the per-unit base change formula

The formula to change the per-unit impedance with new base values is Znew(pu)=Zold(pu)├ЧSnewSold├Ч(VoldVnew)2Z_{new(pu)} = Z_{old(pu)} \times \frac{S_{new}}{S_{old}} \times (\frac{V_{old}}{V_{new}})^2Znew(pu)тАЛ=Zold(pu)тАЛ├ЧSoldтАЛSnewтАЛтАЛ├Ч(VnewтАЛVoldтАЛтАЛ)2.

Znew=0.2├Ч(15050)├Ч(1122)2Z_{new} = 0.2 \times \left( \frac{150}{50} \right) \times \left( \frac{11}{22} \right)^2ZnewтАЛ=0.2├Ч(50150тАЛ)├Ч(2211тАЛ)2

3

Calculate the final value

Substitute the values: Znew=0.2├Ч3├Ч(0.5)2=0.6├Ч0.25=0.15Z_{new} = 0.2 \times 3 \times (0.5)^2 = 0.6 \times 0.25 = 0.15ZnewтАЛ=0.2├Ч3├Ч(0.5)2=0.6├Ч0.25=0.15 pu.

Znew=0.15Z_{new} = 0.15ZnewтАЛ=0.15

тЬЕ

A is correct because applying the per-unit change of base formula yields a new impedance of 0.15 pu.
