This thesis present assessment of power quality of mekenisa substation 15KV feeder line which
is located in Addis Ababa around lebu area. The assessment investigates the major electrical
phenomena that disturb the power quality of feeder line-I. Those are the voltage sag, active
power loss, reactive power loss, power factor and short/long interruption or ultimately complete
outage of EPDS of power quality phenomena listed by the IEEE Standard 1159-1995 are
assessed in this thesis. The necessary data are collected from the record interruption data at
mekenisa substation and Addis Ababa region distribution emergency .The collected data are
analyzed and the results are then compared with the IEEE standards to identify the type and level
of the power quality problems. The modeled systems with and without static var compensator
and recloser have been simulated using ETAP software to verify the improvements achieved in
terms of power quality. The simulation result of voltage sag from 0.897pu to 0.98pu, power
factor from 0.80 to 0.91, active power loss from 2.222MW to 1.678MW, reactive power loss
from 1.22Mvar to 0.999Mvar and interruption from 463.3f/yr to 343.6f/yr. Hence, it is
recommended the SVC and Recloser that the distribution network feeder line-I of Mekenisa
substation customer to be installed in for the betterment and continuity of supply of the Ethiopian
Electric Utility (EEU) services. |
