Introduction Herein are solutions to problems for each of the chapters of Electric Power Prin-
ciples: Sources, Conversion, Distribution and Use. I believe them to be correct, but
errors may have crept in. Use them with caution, and please check them before grading
student’s homework!
There are a number of Matlab scripts in an accompanying directory structure. There is a
subdirectory for each chapter of the book for which there are scripts. (Chapters 2, 3, 5, 6
and 8 through 15). (The scripts are named for the chapter and problem, so that ’p6 5.m’is
a script that solves all or part of Problem 5 of Chapter 6. There are some auxiliary scripts
that are required for some problems. They are located in the appropriate subdirectory and
their identity is made clear in the main scripts that use them. The scripts are known to run
under Matlab Version 7.10.0.499 (R2010a).

Chapter 1

1. 240v × 50A = 12kW


12kW × 3, 414BTU/kWh = 40, 968BTU/h
3,414
2. R = .5 = 6, 828BTU/kWh
3. Assume Coal energy content is 30,870 BTU/kg.
If R=11,000 BTU/kWh, then coal consumption is:

11, 000BTU/kWh
ṁ = ≈ 0.3563kg/kWh
30, 870BTU/kg

Then, if P = 1000M W = 106 kW ,

Ṁ = 106 kW × .3563 = 3.563 × 105 kg/h

×365.25 × 24 = 3.12 × 109 kg/yr = 3.12 × 106 Tonnes/yr

4. If R = 30, 890BTU/kWh,

9, 500BTU/lWh
ṁ = ≈ .3075kg/kWh
30, 890BTU/kg
×2.959kg CO2 /kg fuel = 0.9kg CO2 /kWh
×600, 000 × 24 × 365.25 = 4.79 × 109 kg CO2 /yr = 4.79 × 106 T CO2 /yr
3414
5. R = .53 = 6, 441BTU/kWh

6, 441BTU/kWh
ṁ = .127kg/kWh
50, 780BTU/kg
= ×2.75 = .349kg CO2 /kWh
×600, 000 × 24 × 365.25 = 1.83 × 109 kg CO2 /yr = 1.83 × 106 Tonnes CO2 /yr

6. The fraction of fuel converted to energy is:


1 1
f= × .04 × × 1235 ≈ 2.128 × 10−5
2 5
Then energy released per kg of fuel is:

E = 2.128 × 10−5 × 9 × 101 6 ≈ 1.915 × 1012 J/kg


3,414
If R = 12, 000BTU/kWh, then thermal efficiency is η = 12,000 ≈ .2845, and electrical
output per kilo of enriched fuel is:

Ee = 1.95 × 1012 × .2845 ≈ 5.548 × 1011 J/kg

1, 000MW yr = 106 kW yr = 3.6 × 1012 × 365.25 × 24 ≈ 3.16 × 1016 J


So total fuel required is:
3.16 × 1016 J
≈ 56, 881kg
5.548 × 1011 J/kg
7. Power per unit area is:
P 1 1
= ηρv 3 = × 1.2 × .4 × 103 = 240W/m3
A 2 2
P π 2
Then since power is P = A 4D , required diameter is:
s
4 1.5 × 106
D= ≈ 89.2m
π 240

8. P = ρgv̇hη, so required flow is:

100 × 106
v̇ = ≈ 637m3 /s
1000 × 20 × 9.812 × .8

Rth = 4 + 8||8 = 4 + 4 = 8

2. The first (left-hand) circuit has the following impedance matrix:
" #

Z=
2 3

The right-hand circuit has the following admittance matrix:


1
+ R12 − R12
" #
Y= R1

If we invert the impedance matrix for the first circuit:


" # " #
3
1 3 −2 − 52
Z−1 = = 5
5 −2 3 − 25 3
5

This makes R2 = 2.5 and then


1 1 3 2 1
= + − =
R1 R3 5 5 5
So R1 = R3 = 5.
3. This one is easily done by recognizing that the thevenin equivalent circuits for the sources
and vertically aligned (totem pole style) resistors is as shown in Figure 1. The thevenin
equivalent voltage is derived from the voltage divider between the two resistors and the
equivalent resistance is the same: 4||1 = 45 . Then the problem is reduced to what is
shown in Figure 2. The output voltage is:
4 1 1 18
 
vo = − × 18 × 8 = =6
5 5 1+ 5
3

4. The trick to this ’magic ladder’ problem is to see that the driving point impedance of
a section can be deduced to be 2R and the transfer relationship is defined by a simple
voltage divider to be 21 . This is true for each of the ’cells’ of the ladder network. Thus
 5  7
the open-circuit output voltage V = V2 × 21 + V1 × 1
2 . Then, at that point, the
thevenin equivalent voltage is the open circuit voltage:
V1 V2
Vth = +
128 32
The thevenin equivalent resistance is
2
Rth = R||2R = R

5. While this one looks odd (the voltage source controls the voltage across the current
source and the current source controls current through the voltage source, it is a pretty
good approximation of the interface between solar and some wind generators and the
power system. In such situations, the system ’acts like’ a voltage source and the power
electronics of the generators emulates a current source.
Real power is:
1 n o 1
P = V IRe ejψ = cos ψ
2 2
and Imaginary power is:
1 n o 1
Q = V IIm ejψ = sin ψ
2 2
Instantaneous power is, with the voltage phase being zero:

p = 2P cos2 ωt + Q sin 2ωt

The phasor diagrams corresponding with ψ = 0 and ψ = π2 are shown in Figure 3, and
instantaneous power is plotted for ψ = 0 in Figure 4 and for psi = π2 in Figure 5.

8. Maximum impedance magnitude will occur if the capacitive admittance balances (and
thus cancels) the inductive admittance, so the condition for maximum voltage magnitude
1
is XC = −j10Ω, or C = 10×2×π×60 ≈ 265µF
The phasor diagram for the maximum voltage condition is shown in Figure 7
Impedance is:

Z = R||jωL|| = 1 1
jωC R + jωL + jωC

The magnitude of voltage is shown as a function of capacitance in Figure 8


9. This is the series analog of Problem 8. The capacitance to maximize voltage across the
resistance is the one that balances (cancels) inductor impedance, and this is the same as
in Problem 8, namely 265µF . The phasor diagram for voltages is, at resonance, shown
in Figure 9.
Voltage across the resistance is given by a voltage divider:

The locus of this voltage, with arbitrary phase angle of I is shown in Figure 12.
And the range of source voltage magnitudes is:

11. Inductive reactance is X = 2π × 60 × .02 ≈ 7.54Ω, so receiving end voltage is

Vr = Vs = Vs 2 ≈ 76.6 − j57.7V

Y = ± −

With X = 7.54Ω and R = 10Ω, this evaluates to Y = .0455S, so that C = .0455377 ≈ 120µF .
To construct the phasor diagram, start by assuming the output voltage is real (Vr = 120),
Then the capacitance draws current Ic = .0455j × 120 ≈ j × 5.46A. Current through the
inductance is Ix = 12+j5.46, and the voltage across the inductance is Vx = −41+j90.48.
Source voltage is Vs = 78.8 + j90.48, which has magnitude of 120 V (all of this is RMS).
The resulting phasor diagram is shown in Figure 14.
Maximum voltage at the outupt is clearly achieved when ω 2 LC = 1, when C = 351.8µF .
R
Maximum output voltage is Vr = Vs ωL ≈ 1.33 × 120 ≈ 159V. A plot of relative output
vs. input voltage is shown in Figure 15

12. The situation is shown in the phasor diagram of Figure 16. In complex terms, V =
V s + jXI. In this situation, we know the magnitude of V s and the angle between V
and I. To find the magnitude of V , we invoke the law of cosines:

Vs2 = V 2 + (XI)2 − 2V XI cos θ

Now, since θ = ψ + π2 ,

Vs2 = V 2 + (XI)2 + 2V XI sin θ

This quadratic is solved by (for the most reasonable value of voltage:

This is plotted in Figure 17. To plot this against real power, all that needs to be noted
is that P = V I cos ψ. It should be noted that this system cannot make the specified
amount of real power for some of the power factor cases. This is shown in Figure 18.

This solves for:

V+ = 36.7kV
V− = 26.9kV

At the instant of the switch opening, I+ + I− = 0, so I− = −1212A, and V− = 36.72kV.


Total voltage is V = V+ + V− ≈ 73.4kV. When the excitation gets back to the sending

If the line is loaded with a unity power factor load with current IL , the relationship
between forward and reverse going components is:

At the shorted end, the current will double as voltage goes to zero. At the matched end

receiving end, with a capacitive admittance of Yc = V2Q2 . This is placed in parallel with
the receiving end resistance. The voltage at the receiving end is calculated in the normal
way and is shown in Figure 22. Note there are three curves, corresponding to the three

are just current times resistance. The voltage across the ground (neutral) resistor is

The radial clearance gap is, if the gap itself can be considered to be ’small’(for parts (a)
and (c):

If, on the other hand, the gap is not small, the reluctance is:

The rest is documented in the atlab script p5 3.m. Inductances limited by the radial
gap are:

Part a) L = RNg1 ≈ 15.79mH
N2
Part b) L = Rg2 ≈ 2.28mH

With nonzero axial gap, the inductances are L = Ra +Rg1 or L = Ra +Rg2 .

For the parameters and dimensions of this problem: Ri = .02m, Ro = .05m, D = .01m,
µr = 200, N = 100, this evaluates to:

L = 3.665mH

Current required to saturate the core at radius r is:

This evaluates to 6 A at r = .02 m and 15 A at r = .05 m.

RL =

Straightforward circuit manipulation will give the flux in the center leg:

1 RR 1 RL
 
Φc = N I −
RL + Rc ||RR RC + RR RR + Rc ||RL RC + RL

A bit of manipulation is required to put this into the form:


RR − RL
 
Φc = N I
Rc (RL + RR ) + RR RL

Inserting the definitions (above) for the reluctances and manipulating,

Magnitudes of the high side current will be IH = 3×199 = 167.5A. Since the inverse
cosine of 0.8 is 36.9◦ , and since the primary (H) side is at an angle of −30◦ , the three
primary currents will have angles of −6.9◦ , −126.9◦ and 113.1◦ . Currents in the low

(a) Star point of the resistors connected to the neutral of the supply, in which case the
currents can be calculated independently and the problem is simple,
(b) Star point of the resistors is unconnected to the neutral of the supply. In this case,
it is straightforward but tedious to convert the wye to a delta, calculate line-line
voltages, obtain current in the legs of the delta, add those to get terminal currents,
transform them across the transformer and add transformer currents together to get
terminal currents on the delta side, and
(c) Star point is grounded through a resistor. This is handled by calculating the
impedance matrix:

In principal, this matrix can be inverted to find the currents, since voltages are
known. To check, it is possible to set Rg = 0, in which case the third case should
equal the first case. Or to set Rg to a very large number, in which case the third
case should approach the second case.

7. Core area is A = .25m×.25m = .0625m2 , and peak terminal voltage is Vp = 2400× 2 ≈
3394V , so that peak flux density in the core is:
3394
Bp = ≈ 1.5T
377 × .0625 × 96
Eyeballing the data given in Figures 8.19 and 8.20, we may estimate core loss to be about
3.2 watts/kilogram and exciting power to be about 19.3 VA/kilogram. The volume of
active material in the core is just about:

Vc = 1m × .75m × .25m − 2 × (.25m × .5m × .25m) = .125m3


If the core material density is 7,700 kg per cubic meter, this means the mass of active core
material is 962.5 kilograms. Thus the core loss is Pc = 962.5×3.2 ≈ 3041 watts. Exciting
power is Pa = 962.5 × 19.3 ≈ 18576 VA. Exciting current is then about 7.7 Amperes.

The script that calculates this as a function of frequency is p8 10.m. The results are
shown in Figure 39. Not surprisingly, since this is actually a fairly deep slot (compared
with the skin depth), the resistance and reactance are not far from the infinitely deep

Matlab script that p10 10.m solves this problem. The solution proceeds as follows:
First, get the symmetrical component impedance matrix by doing Zs = T Zph T −1 . This
is readily inverted to get the line admittance matrix. Note that in this situation, real
power is P = V1 V2 Y sin δ, where the admittance variable Y is the reactive admittance
(this is a lossless situation) for positive sequence. By inverting that expression
 we find

phase angle δ. Then positive sequence current across the line is just Vd = V ejδ − 1 ,
and that is used with the full admittance matrix to find currents. The script is also used
to find real power to confirm that the angle is right. Here is the summary output:

12. Symmetrical component reactances are x1 = 0.55, x2 = 0.55 and x0 = 0.45.

Fault current for a line-ground fault is: i1 = i2 = i0 = j1.55 = −j.645.
At the fault, ia = i1 + i2 + i0 = −j1.935, ib = ic = 0. At the generator side of the
transformer,

ia = −j.645 e−j 6 + ej 6 = −j1.117
−j π6 j π6
 
ib = −j.645 a2 e + ae = j1.117
π π
 
ic = −j.645 ae−j 6 + a2 ej 6 = 0

For the line-line fault at the fault: total reactance is x = x1 + x2 = 1.1, so that i1 =

−i2 = j1.1 ≈ −j.91. then, at the fault,

ia = 0

Base current at the fault is 418.4 A and at the generator is 4184 A, so the current
magnitudes are:

Phase A 809.6 0
Phase B 0 659.0
Phase C 0 659.0
Generator
Phase A 4674 3807

13. Do this one on the line base of 100 MVA, 345 kV on the line and 24 kV at the generator.
On that base, generator reactance is xg = 100600 × .25 ≈ .042 and transformer reactance
100
is xt = 600 × .07 ≈ .012. Positive and negative sequence reactances are then x1 = x2 =
.25 + .042 + .012 = .314 Zero sequence reactance is x0 = .40 + .012 = .412.
For the line-neutral fault, z1 = z2 = j.314 and z0 = j.412. Total impedance to the
1
fault is z = j1.04, so that fault current is if = j1.04 ≈ −j.961. So at the fault: ia =
i1 + i2 + i0 = −j2.88, ib = ic = 0.
On the generator side:

ia = −j.961 e−j 6 + ej 6 = 3 × −j.961 = −j1.66

ib = −j.961 a2 e−j 6 + aej 6 = − 3 × −j.961 = j1.66
 π π

ic = −j.961 ae−j 6 + a2 ej 6 =0

For the line-line fault, z = j.628 so that fault current is if ≈ j1.59. At the fault, the
phase currents are:

ia = 0
a2

ib = −j1.59 − a ≈ −2.76
= −j1.59 a − a2 ≈ 2.76

On the generator side, the currents are:

ib = −j1.59 a2 e − ae = −1.59

ic = −j1.59 ae−j 6 − a62ej 6 = 3.18

Base currents are 2406 A at 24 kV and 167 A at 345 kV, so the currents, in amperes
are:

1. Real power flow through the line is P = V1XV2 sin δ = 10
10 sin δ
So maximum power flow is 100 kW.
Since the sine of 30◦ is 1/2, real power flow is 50 kW.
2
Reactive power flow with equal voltage magnitudes is Q = VX (1 − cos δ) and 1−cos30◦ ≈
.134, then reactive power flow is about 13.4 kVAR.
To get 75 kVAR to flow in the line, sin δ = .75 or δ ≈ 48.6◦
2
2. Real power flow in this three-phase line is P = 138
40 sin δ ≈ 476.1 sin δ(MW)

So when δ = 10 , P ≈ 82.7MW
When δ = 30◦ , P ≈ 238MW
100
For 100 MW, δ = sin−1 476.1 ≈ 12.1◦
With that angle, Q = 476.1 (1 − cos 12.1◦ ) ≈ 10.6MVAR
3. If sending and receiving end power are the same, real and reactive power at sending and
receiving ends are:

V2  
(P + jQ)S = 1 − ejδ
R − jX
V2  
(P + jQ)R = e−jδ−1
R − jX

These are easily evaluated by Matlab script p11 3.m. Note the solution to the problem of
finding the proper power angle for a given receiving end real power is nonlinear, but the
Matlab routine fzero() can be used to solve that problem with an auxiliary function.
The answers are:

4. With a capacitance of 6.6µF , admittance is Yc = jωC = j2.49 × 10−3 S, or QC =

For a phase angle of 30◦ ,

P = X sin δ = 238MW

Q = X (1 − cos δ) = 16.4MVAR

To get 100 MW in the line, δ = sin−1 476.1 ≈ 12.125◦ , for which Q = X (1 − cos δ)−Qc ≈
10.6 − 47.4 = −36.8MVAR

Matlab script p12 5.m carries out these calculations and repeats the waveform for a few
cycles to make it more easily visible. The resulting output volgate is shown in Figure 60.
6. The output voltage is just the input voltage rectified, and the rectifier has the effect of
taking the absolute value of the input voltage. At the same time, it converts the current,
so that, for this case,

vl = |Vs sin ωt|


is = IDC sign(sin ωt)

Shown in Figure 61 are output voltage and input current for the full wave bridge rectifier.
In Figure 62 are input and output power (neglecting diode forward drop). Plotted on
the same scale, they are the same.
According to the model of Problem 1, forward drop in each of the diodes is about
0.911 volts, leading to about 18 watts total dissipation, distributed over the four diodes
of the bridge.
See Matlab script p12 6.m for details.

7. There are actually three important numbers related to the load voltage output from the
three-phase
p rectifier. They are the peak voltage, which is the peak of√line-line voltage:
Vpeak = (2)×480 = 679V , the average load voltage, which is VL = π3 2×480 ≈ 648V ,

and the minimum voltage which is Vmin = 480 2 cos π6 ≈ 588V . The actual waveforms
are shown in Figure 63. Current in Phase A is positive whenever Phase A is most positive
and negative when Phase A is most negative. Since there is a large filter reactor on the
DC side, current is constant.
Accouning for commutation reactance, the reactive voltage drop appears to be accounted
for by the fictitious resistor:RX = π3 ωLℓ π3 × 377 × .003 ≈ 1.08Ω. With a load current of
10 A, VL = 648 − 10 × 1.08 ≈ 637.2V Load voltage as a function of current is shown in
Figure 64.
8. Assuming the leakage inductance is negligible, average load voltage is:
1 π 2 2√
Z
< VL >= Vp sin ωtdωt = Vp = 2 × 120 ≈ 108V
π 0 π π

In the single phase rectifier, load voltage is zero during commutation and rate of change
of current in the leakage inductance is:

diL Vp
= sin ωt
dt Lℓ

And since current in the leakage inductance starts at −IL , current at the end of the
commutation interval is
Vp
iL = −IL + (cos ωt − 1))
ωLℓ
The commutation interval tc is then determined by:
Vp
(cos ωtc − 1) = 2IL

Discounting the signs of the harmonics, the first four nonzero harmonics are 5, 7, 11 and

the fifth and seventh harmonics cancel as do the 17th and 19th. Each of two inverters
handles half the current, so the surviving harmonics are of half amplitude, but they add
so we get back the factor of two. Then the harmonics are of order 11, 13, 23 and 35,
with amplitudes of 501, 424, 240 and 221 A, respectively.

Deriving a thevenin equivalent on the voltage source, armature leakage and magnetizing
branch as shown in Figure 68, it is clear the resistance Rs2 is looking at a source impedance
magnitude of 4Ω. Dissipation is maximized when Rs2 = 4Ω, and this happens when s =
0.1. For a four pole machine operating at 50 Hz, speed is N = 0.9 × 1, 500 = 1, 350RPM.
At that speed, torque is:

5. Running light could be calculated by looking at the smallest value of slip, but in the
script the rotor branch is discounted and impedance of the magnetizing and armature
brances was used:

Problem 5: Running light current = 5.45245


Real Power = 402.042 Reactive Power = 4515.22

6. Locked rotor conditions involve s = 1, for which the machine impedance can be calcu-
lated and a voltage to achieve specified current is then easy to estimate. The results
are:

Problem 6: Locked rotor voltage = 49.6024


Locked Rotor Torque = 1.8263
Input Real and Reactive Power = 216.345 + j 1089.83

7. The trick to estimating machine operation with fixed voltage and frequency is to find
the limiting values of slip at either end. A crude search was made to find those values
of slip. The rest is straightforward and the results are shown in Figure 71
8. This problem asks for multiple torque-speed calculations, and the only thing to remember
about this is to adjust the reactive elements for frequency, but the resistors stay constant.
Note the lower breakdown torques for low frequencies, shown in Figure 72.
9. This problem uses some brute-force computation, but even using an interpreter like
Matlab, computation is not expensive. In this calculation, operational curves similar to
those shown in Figure 72 were estimated for frequencies separated by 1 Hz. Then a search
was made to find two points that bracket the desired torque. Then linear interpolation
was used to approximate operation at the desired torque. Not shown is a curve that
was drawn of torque vs. speed to estimate how well this interpolation worked. Results
for input and output power are shown in Figure 73 and efficiency and power factor are
shown in 74.

10. Matlab script p13 b.m does the calculations for problems 10 and 11. The torque-speed
curve for the motor operating with fixed voltage and frequency is shown in Figure 75
Small correction is required for stray load loss. Once the end points are determined,
getting efficiency and power factor is done over slip. This is shown in Figure 76.
11. Several torque/speed curves for different frequency and voltage levels are calculated by
the same script and shown in Figure 77
And then it is not difficult to generate an idea of operation by sweeping over frequency
and finding the correct power point along each curve. Resulting efficiency and power
factor are shown in Figure 78
12. The winding plan is shown in Figure 79. Note this did not really need to be a ’consequent
pole’ winding since groups with turns of 17, 9 and 8 turns, respectively, could have been
wound around each of four poles.
To find the winding factor, we use the weighted average of the individual coil pitch
factors:
PN γ
k=1 Ns (k) sin( 2 nNc (k))
kwn = PN
k=1 Ns (k)

where N is the total number of coils (6), n is the harmonic number, Nc is the coil throw
for each coil and Ns is the number of turns in each coil.
This evaluates to kw1 = .9720.
Synchronous reactance is:

3 4 Na2 RLkw1
Xs = ωLs ωµ0

And this evaluates to about 85.5 Ohms.

Rotor Leakage Lrℓ = N2 = 9 ≈ 0.105mh

The impedances at 60 Hz are Xa = ωLaℓ ≈ .0396Ω, Xm = ωLm ≈ 3.127Ω and, as it


turns out, Xr ≈ Xa .
In this problem, we ignore any winding losses in the doubly fed machine, so, as we
expect, rotor input power Pr = sPs , where Ps is stator output power. Total generated
Pm
power is Pm = Ps + Pr , so that Ps = 1−s .
Stator current can be computed to be Is = Ps +jQ
Vs

. Then we can compute voltage across
the magnetizing branch: Vm = Vs + jXa Is .
Vm
The next step is to compute current through the magnetizing branch: Im = jX m
.
Finally rotor current, referred to the stator is: Ir = Is + Im , and rotor voltage is
Vr = Vm + jXr Ir . Rotor input power is Pr + jQr = 3sVr Ir∗

400kW
Eb = GΩI = = 500V
800A

And, since 1,000 RPM is 104.7 Radians/second,


500
G= ≈ .00596Hy
104.7 × 800

To get speed vs. voltage we must make power converted by the motor equal to power
absorbed by the load:
GV 2 Ω Ω 3
 
= P0
(R + GΩ)2 Ω0
Matlab script p14 5.m uses the Matlab function fzero() to solve the nonlinear equation
and plot speed vs. voltage (see Figure 83). It also does a check calculation (figure not
shown here).

7. The initial part of the piecewise linear voltage vs. field current curve has a slope of
V Ω N

Then, the speed that will result in self-excitation will be:

N = N0 × = × 75 = 450RPM

At 1,500 RPM, if the machine is on the third segment (If > 2A), V = 270.8 + 12.5If .
Running light:V = 270.8 + 12.5If = 75If , or:

and V = 352V.
Loaded,

V = V0 + GΩIf − Ra Ia
V
If =
Rf

Over a limited range of Ia , this becomes:


V0 − Ra Ia
V =
1 − GΩ
Rf

This evaluates to
V = 325 − 2Ia Ia < 6.25A
To compound the generator, Gs Ω = 2. Then, comparing with the shunt field, Ns =

Nf × 12.5 = 80Turns.

In long shunt:

Te = Gs Ia + Gf If Ia

In short shunt, we have this set of linear expressions:

If (Rf + Rs ) + Rs Ia = V
If (Rf − GΩ) − (Gs Ω + Ra ) Ia = 0

And, as before,
T e = GIf Ia + Gs Ia2
These calculations are carried out by Matlab script p14 8.m. Torques are shown in

1. The next several problems all use the following:

Hm hm + Hg g = 0
Bm Am = Bg Ag
hm Br
Bg =
g 1 + Pu

So for this one, hm = 5mm.


40
2. hm = 3
3. Am = 50cm2
4. The previous problem just happened to hit the optimum:

hm = 10mm
Am = 50cm2

5. Br = 4 × 50 × 106 ≈ 1.414T
14,0002
6. Emax = 4×1.05 ≈ 46.66Mg-Oe
12
7. V = KΩ, so Ω = .001 = 12, 000Rad/s ≈ 114, 591RPM.
12
8. 6,000 RPM is about 628 Radians/second, so K = 628 ≈ .0191Wb.
V 12
9. No load speed is Ω = K = .02 = 6, 000Radians/second (about 5,730 RPM).
10. Since P = ΩK V −ΩK
R , we have a quadratic to find speed:

(ΩK)2 − ωKV + Pm R = 0

There are actually two speeds at which the thing will make 12 watts: want the faster
one:
 s 
2
1 V V

Ω= + − Pm R ≈ 473Rad/s
K 2 2

That is about 4519 RPM.


√ 10
When making 10 W, ΩK = 6 + 62 − 20 = 10V. Then Ω = .02 = 500Radians/s (4775
RPM), and current is I = 1A. Torque is T = /f rac10500 = .02N-m.
10
Voltage is V = 10 + 2 = 12V, so efficiency is η = 12 = 0.8333.
12
11. 3,000 RPM is 314.16 Radians/second, so K = 314.16 ≈ .0382Wb. With 10 A, torque is
.382 N-m.
2
With a 12 volt supply the maximum converted power is Pmax = V4R = 36W. At that
condition, I = 6A, and Pin = 12 × 6 = 72W, so η = 0.5. Speed is 1,500 RPM.
12. 4,000 RPM = 66 2/3 Hz. 3×662/3 = 200, so the thing has six poles. Electrical frequency
is ω = 2π × 200 ≈ 1257Radians/s

2×120
Flux λ0 = 1257 ≈ 0.135Wb.

13. T = 23 pλ0 I = 1.5 × 2 × 0.4 × 4 = 4.8N-m.
4,000 RPM is 418.9 Radians/second. So PB = 4.8 × 418.9 ≈ 2011W.
At 4,000 RPM, ω = 837.8, so internal voltage is Eb = .4 × 837.5 ≈ 335.1V (peak).
Reactance is X = .05 × 837.8 ≈ 41.9Ω. 4 × 41.9 ≈ 167.6V. Assuming we are driving
the thing for maximum √ torque per unit of current, internal power factor is unity and
terminal voltage is V = 335.12 + 167.62 ≈ 375V (peak).
Note xd = .05×4
.4 = .5, which is less than one, so there will be a zero-torque speed. It is
375
when ω = .05×4 ≈ 1873Radians/s,or about 8944 RPM.
14. Here, we use the definitions given in the text:
3
Base Torque TB = pλ0 I0
2
Ld I0
d- axis reactance xd =
λ0
Lq I0
q- axis reactance xq =
λ0
per-unit torque te = (1 − (xq − xd ) id ) iq

Then use expressions 15.15 and 15.16 to find id and iq at the rating point (ia = 1). At
the rating point:

ψd = 1 + xd id
ψq = xq iq

Voltages are:

Vd = ω0 λ0 (ra id − ψq )
Vq = ω0 λ0 (rq iq + psid )
q
Voltage is V = Vd2 + Vq2 and input power is Pin = 32 (Vd Id + Vq Iq ).
Output power is Pout = ωp TB te .
All of this has been implemented in Matlab script p15 13.m and the results for the two
cases are:
