Hello,
I dont know any book to suggest, but i can give you a simple example.
In a per unit system the values are refered to some values taken as bases of the system.
For example if we have many transformers conected in an energy distribution system, we can take
the values of one of them to make de bases of the per unit system :
T1 ( we take this one)
Sn=2500 kVA
Un=15 kV
T2
Sn=630 kVA
Un=15 kV
T3
Sn=500 kVA
Un=15 kV
T……
Bases :
Ub=U(t1)n = 15 kV
Sb=S(t1)n = 2500 kVA
Ib=2500*10^3 /(1,73*15*10^3) = 96,33 A
– Now lets make some calculations in per unit system
For example we Have :
S(T2) = (630 *10^3) / (2500*10^3) = 0,252 pu
In(T2) = 0,252 / 1 = 0,252 pu ( 1the denominator is because we have Un(T2)=15 kV=Ub= 1 pu)
S(T3) = (500 *10^3) / (2500*10^3) = 0,2 pu
In(T2) = 0,2 / 1 = 0,2 pu
So in pu :
Sn(T1) =1 pu , Un(T1)= 1 pu , In(T1)= 1 pu
Sn(T2)=0,252 pu, Un(T1)= 1 pu , In(T2)= 0,252 pu
Sn(T3)=0,2 pu, Un(T1)= 1 pu , In(T3)= 0,2 pu
We can see very easily wich equipment is above or under our network reference, we dont need to do calculations with
Ampere, Volt, VA, etc, it is also very usefull in some complex calculations.
If we want the real values we simple multiply the pu values by the bases :
Sn(T1) =1 * 2500 kVA = 2500 kVA , Un(T1)= 1 * 15 kV = 15 kV , In(T1)= 1 * 96,33 A = 96,33 A
Sn(T2)=0,252 * 2500 kVA = 630 kVA, Un(T1)= 1 * 15 kV = 15 kV , In(T2)= 0,252 * 96,33 A = 24,275 A
Sn(T3)=0,2 * 2500 kVA = 500 kVA, Un(T1)= 1 * 15 kV = 15 kV , In(T3)= 0,2 * 96,33 A = 19,266 A
