Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

(OP)
Hello Everyone,

I am trying to calculate the positive, negative, and zero sequence subtransient reactances for a generator. I asked the vendor for this information and was of course supplied with different information than I requested. Is there a way to calculate (pos,neg,zero) subtransient reactances if what was shown below was provided. I also requested X/R ratios and those were not provided either.

Xd(pu)
X'd(pu)
X''d(pu)
X2(pu)
X0(pu)
T'd(sec)
T''d(sec)
Tdc(sec)
Ta(sec)

All help is appreciated!

Use the base KVA to convert the per unit (pu) reactance values to ohmic reactance values.

RE: Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

All you're missing is the armature resistance; but if you're really clever you can calculate it from the time constants. X0 and X2 are what they are; no subtransient, transient, synchronous numbers.

RE: Calculating Subtransient Sequence Reactances

As davidbeach observed, there is not such a thing as a negative or zero sequence subtransient reactance (let's call them X2" and X0"). The d-axis subtransient reactance X"d is used to calculate the initial short circuit current for a 3-phase fault. Similarly, the initial sequence currents for a phase-earth fault (for example) are calculated using the sum of Xd" and the negative (X2) and zero sequence (X0) reactances. Thus, Xd"+X2+X0 in a way serves as a subtransient reactance for sequence currents of the phase-earth fault. But not literally as these so called X2" or X0".
