Electric power engineering - Modal components in three-phase a.c. systems - Quantities and transformations

IEC 62428:2008 deals with transformations from original quantities into modal quantities for the widely used three-phase a.c. systems in the field of electric power engineering. The examination of operating conditions and transient phenomena in three-phase a.c. systems becomes more difficult by the resistive, inductive or capacitive coupling between the phase elements and line conductors. Calculation and description of these phenomena in three-phase a.c. systems are easier if the quantities of the coupled phase elements and line conductors are transformed into modal quantities. The calculation becomes very easy if the transformation leads to decoupled modal systems. The original impedance and admittance matrices are transformed to modal impedance and admittance matrices. In the case of decoupling of the modal quantities, the modal impedance and admittance matrices become diagonal matrices.

Energie électrique - Composantes modales dans les systèmes a.c. triphasés - Grandeurs et transformations

La CEI 62428:2008 traite des transformations des grandeurs originales en grandeurs modales pour les systèmes a.c. triphasés qui sont largement utilisés dans le domaine de l'énergie électrique. L'étude des conditions de fonctionnement et des régimes transitoires dans les systèmes a.c. triphasés est rendue difficile du fait des couplages résistifs, inductifs ou capacitifs entre les éléments de phase et entre les conducteurs de ligne. Le calcul et la description de ces phénomènes dans les systèmes a.c. triphasés est plus facile si les grandeurs concernant les éléments de phase et les conducteurs de ligne sont transformées en grandeurs modales. Le calcul devient très facile si la transformation conduit à des systèmes modaux découplés. Les matrices d'impédances et d'admittances originales sont transformées en matrices d'impédances et d'admittances modales. Dans le cas où les grandeurs modales sont découplées, les matrices d'impédances et d'admittances deviennent diagonales.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

QUANTITIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS

1 Scope
This International Standard deals with transformations from original quantities into modal
quantities for the widely used three-phase a.c. systems in the field of electric power
engineering.
The examination of operating conditions and transient phenomena in three-phase a.c.
systems becomes more difficult by the resistive, inductive or capacitive coupling between the
phase elements and line conductors. Calculation and description of these phenomena in
three-phase a.c. systems are easier if the quantities of the coupled phase elements and line
conductors are transformed into modal quantities. The calculation becomes very easy if the
transformation leads to decoupled modal systems. The original impedance and admittance
matrices are transformed to modal impedance and admittance matrices. In the case of
decoupling of the modal quantities, the modal impedance and admittance matrices become
diagonal matrices.

4.2 Power in modal components
Transformation relations are used either in the power-variant form as given in Table 1 or in
the power-invariant form as given in Table 2.
For the power-invariant form of transformation, the power calculated with the three modal
components is equal to the power calculated from the original quantities of a three-phase a.c.
system with three line conductors and a neutral conductor, where u , u and u are the line-
1 2 3
to-neutral voltages and i , i and i are the currents of the line conductors at a given
1 2 3
location of the network. In a three-phase a.c. system with only three line conductors, u , u
1 2
and u are the voltages between the line conductors and a virtual star point at a given
location of the network.
The instantaneous power p expressed in terms of the original quantities is defined by:
