Symmetrical Components

Symmetrical Components
Consider that we have Three unbalanced voltage
phasors , .
Then according to Symmetrical components theory the
unbalanced phasors can be resolved as follows
= 0 + 1 + 2
= 0 + 1 + 2
= 0 + 1 + 2
Here (0, 0 , 0 ) represent the zero sequence set and
they are in phase with each other
Here (1, 1 , 1 ) represent the positive sequence set.
Here (2, 2 , 2 ) represent the positive sequence set.
The a-operator
We define a=1120. Note that multiplication by a
rotates a phasor forward by 120 degrees without
altering the magnitude.
For example if A=1060, then aA=10180
Relation between phasor and their
symmetrical components
The Relation between phasors and their symmetrical components is given as

Here (0, 0 , 0 ) represent the zero sequence set and they are equal in magnitude
and in phase with each other
0 = 0 = 0
(1, 1 , 1 ) represent the positive sequence set.
1 = 2 (1 )
1 = (1 )
(2, 2 , 2 ) represent the positive sequence set.
2 = 2 (2 )
2 = (2 )
Lab Tasks
1. Write a code for Matlab Function (abc2sc) to
transform from set of phasor representation to
symmetrical components.
2. Write a Matlab Function (phas2ins) which
transforms from phasor representation to
instantaneous representation and plots the
obtained instantaneous representation.
3. Use these functions to convert a set of
unbalanced phasors to symmetrical components
and plot the symmetrical components in
instantaneous form
