Background

The per unit system of calculation is a method whereby system impedances and quantities are normalized across different voltage
levels to a common base. By removing the impact of varying voltages, the necessary calculations are simplified.

To use the per unit method, we normalize all the system impedances (and admittances) within the network under consideration to a
common base. These normalized impedances are known as per unit impedances. Any per unit impedance will have the same value
on both the primary and secondary of a transformer and is independent of voltage level.

A network of per unit impedances can then be solved using standard network analysis.

There are four base quantities: base MVA, base KV, base ohms, and base amperes. When any two of the four are assigned the other
two can be derived. It is common practice to assign study base values to MVA and KV. Base amperes and base ohms are then
derived for each of the voltage levels in the system. The MVA assigned may be the MVA rating of one of the predominant pieces of
system equipment or a more convenient number such as 10 MVA or 100 MVA. Selection of the latter has some advantage of
commonality when many studies are made while the former choice means that the impedance or reactance of at least one significant
component will not have to be converted to a new base. The nominal line-to-line system voltages are normally used as the base
voltages with 3-phase power being used as base power.
