Load Flow (LF) analysis is a fundamental and significant issue in electric power systems. Because of the nonlinearity of the power mismatch equations, the accuracy of the nonlinear solvers is important. In this study, a novel and efficient nonlinear solver is proposed with active applications to LF problems. The formulation of the Proposed Method (PM) and its workflow and mathematical modeling for its application in LF problems have been discussed. The performance of the PM has been validated on the IEEE 14-bus and 30-bus test systems against several existing methods. The simulation results show that the PM exhibits higher order accuracy, faster convergence characteristics, smaller number of iterations, and lesser computation times in comparison with the other benchmark methods.

Operation Characteristics

The induction generators (IGs) are basic to wind energy conversion. They produce the active power and consume the reactive power, with the voltage characteristics fragile compared with that of the synchronous generators and doubly-fed IGs. In the stressed system states, they may intensify var imbalance, yielding undesirable operation of zone 3 impedance relays.In this paper, the operation characteristics of the zone 3 relays in the wind power systems is studied. With the theoretical and load flow analysis, it is proved that the equivalent impedance of the IGs lies in the 2nd quadrature, possibly seen as the backward faults by the mho relays, i.e. the apparent impedance enters into the protection region from the left side. The undesirable operation may be caused by more wind power, larger load, less var compensation, and larger torque angle.

Loss Efficiency

Reactive power compensation is an important issue in electric power systems, involving operational, economical and quality of service aspects. Consumer loads (residential, industrial, service sector, etc.) impose active and reactive power demand, depending on their characteristics. This paper presents an efficient method for solving the load flow problem in distribution systems and which is implemented for Pune city (India) to check the validity of proposed method. A simple algebraic matrix equation to solve the load flow problem is derived by using the complex power balance equations. By adopting the rectangular coordinate, which requires the neglect of only second order terms in the linearization procedure, the proposed method gives better convergence characteristics. Newton-Raphsonmethod is the famous load flow calculation technique, and normally used dueto its rapidness of numerical convergence. The proposed method estimates the incremental changesof active power on each generation bus with respect to the total system power loss, efficiency and the estimated value are used to update the slack bus power.
