scholarly journals Voltage Instability Analysis Using Mipower

Load Flow Analysis helps in error free operation of power system and also useful in forecasting the required equipment for expansion of the system. By forecasting the magnitude of the supply required along with effects caused by single or multiple defects in the system and calculating the magnitude of errors, it is very easy to compensate them using various techniques with minimum cost and effort. It means before installation the favorable sites and size of the infrastructure used are determined to maintain the power factor in the system. Here Power Flow Analysis is performed using Newton Raphson method. This method is used in solving power flow studies of various number of busesunder various conditions. In any network there will be undesired rise or drop or dissipation of voltage. Voltage instability decreases the efficiency of the system and also damages the equipment used. Hence voltage instability analysis is performed and magnitude of the instability is calculated and compensated using various techniques. Here we performed Load Flow Analysis on a 5bus system and Voltage Instability Analysis is also performed to the same with necessary outputs.[7]

With the ever increasing demand of power, the major concern that has aroused is the problem of voltage instability. Due to voltage instability several major power system failures and blackouts occur. Voltage stability thus becomes a necessity. For this FACTS devices like SVC, STATCOM, etc. are used. Load Flow analysis and Continuation Power Flow Analysis is done to identify the weak buses and FACTS devices are installed in these weak buses to enhance the voltage stability. This paper presents a network formulation of IEEE 30 Bus test system using MATLAB and PSAT software and then comparing the effect of SVC and STATCOM for voltage stability enhancement.

<p>Distributed generations (DG), specially including renewable sources such as wind and sun are offering several opportunities for the currently in existence distribution networks and becoming one of the keys of treatment of its problems. Knowing the effects of each kind of DG on distribution networks is a primordial task because DG impacts differ from one kind to another. In this paper, we have analyzed and compared the effects of two kinds of DG, DG which provides real power only and DG which provides real power and reactive power at the same time connected at the critical bus in DN on the voltage profile, real and reactive power losses. We have proposed Newton Raphson method using Matlab to investigate the impacts of these two kinds of DG on 57-bus IEEE distribution test system. The obtained results have been exposed in detail at the end of this paper.</p>

This thesis implements power flow application, Newton-Raphson method. The Newton-Raphson method is mainly employed in the solution of power flow problems. The network of Myanma electric power system is used as the reference case. The system network contains 90 buses and 106 brunches. The weak points are found in the network by using Newton-Raphson method. Bus 16, 17, 85 and 86 have the most weak bus voltages. The medium transmission line between bus 87 and bus 17 is compensated by using MATLAB program software. The transmission line is compensated with shunt reactors, series and shunt capacitors to improve transient and steady-state stability, more economical loading, and minimum voltage dip on load buses and to supply the requisite reactive power to maintain the receiving end voltage at a satisfactory level. The system performance is tested under steady-state condition. This paper investigates and improves the steady–state operation of Myanma Power System Network.

The chlor-alkali process is an electrolysis process which plays an important role in the chemical industry such as the pulp industry. The process produces a product in the form of H2 gas, CL2 gas and NaOH (where the source of chloride ion used is NaCl). This electrolysis process requires a dirrect current with a large current  and a low voltage. In this electrolysis process a three phase controlled 12 pulse rectifiers are used which a connected with multi-winding transformers. In the rectifiers process there will be harmonic distortion on the source side of the transformer which can reduce the power quality of the system. To overcome the harmonic problems that occur in the system, an installation analysis of the equipment in the form of a passive single tuned  filter is aimed at reducing harmonic distortion of current and voltage and increasing the power factor (cos φ). From the result of harmonic analysis using ETAP software, after the installation of harmonic filters orde 11, 13 and 23, the harmonic current value (THDI) and harmonic voltage (THDV) has decreased, namely, before the filter installation, THDI value is 6,5% whereas after installation of filters, THDI value becomes 0,98%, thus there is a THDI decrease of 5,52%. Furthermore, for the voltage harmonic value (THDV) before filter installation is 1,48% while after filtering, THDV value becomes 0,26%, thus there is a THDV decrease of 1,22%. From the results of the simulation of the flow of power (load flow analysis), after installation of filters there is an increase in the value of the power factor (cos φ). Namely, before the filter installation, the value of power factor (cos φ) is 0,8 while after the filter installation the value of the power factor (cos φ) to 0,96, thus an increase in the power factor (cos φ) of 16%.   Keywords : harmonic filter, single tuned filter, power factor, transformer rectifier
