Vibration modal coordinates or modal participation factors. It may be clearer to understand if formula_72 is written as: Written in this form it can be seen that the vibration at each of the degrees of freedom is just a linear sum of the mode shapes. Furthermore, how much each mode "participates" in the final vibration is defined by q, its modal participation factor. An unrestrained multi-degree of freedom system experiences both rigid-body translation and/or rotation and vibration. The existence of a rigid-body mode results in a zero natural frequency. The corresponding mode shape is called the rigid-body mode. Vibration Vibration is
Per-unit system use the nominal voltage 138 kV as the base voltage formula_23. We then have: If, for example, the actual voltage at one of the buses is measured to be 136 kV, we have: The following tabulation of per-unit system formulas is adapted from Beeman's "Industrial Power Systems Handbook". It can be shown that voltages, currents, and impedances in a per-unit system will have the same values whether they are referred to primary or secondary of a transformer. For instance, for voltage, we can prove that the per unit voltages of two sides of the transformer, side 1 and side 2,
