With increase in load, any transmission, distribution and generating model suffers from disturbances. These disturbances effect the overall stability of the system. Criterias like voltage profile, power flows, losses tell us about the state of the system under study. Load flow analysis of the system under study is capable of providing the insight of the system. The Emergence of FACTS device is really a step forward for the flexible control or Power System Operations. FACTS is the name given to the application of the power electronics devices to control power flows and other quantities in the power system. But when it comes to implementation stage, optimizing the location becomes a great concern because of the high cost involved with FACTS devices especially converter like SVC, STATCOM etc. Static Var Compensator (SVC) is a power quality device, which employs power electronics to control the reactive power flow of the system where it is connected. It is able to provide fast-acting reactive power compensation on electrical systems. SVC is one of the methods and can be applied to obtain a system with least losses, increased power flow and healthy voltage profile. Number, location and size of SVC are the main concerns and they can be optimized to a great extent by Genetic Algorithm (GA) or any other method. Use of SVC in a system has shown considerable increase in voltage profile and power flows while decrease in losses.

Power flow analysis plays a significant role in both design and operational stage. The purpose of any load flow analysis is to compute accurate steady state voltages and voltage angles of all buses in a network, the real and reactive power flows into every line and transformer, under the assumption of known generation and load. This paper focus on fast decoupled flow, a practical power system has been used as an example to introduce its application in actual calculation, what’s more, develops a fast decoupled load flow calculation program for n-node system by taking advantage of MATLAB. A visual GUI interface is also established with MATLAB. In addition, the paper proposes a new simple power system data format, different from the IEEE standard one. The correctness and simplicity of the proposed format is verified through IEEE-5bus,-9bus,-11bus,-39bus systems.

Load flow studies are carried out in order to find a steady state solution of a power system network. It is done to continuously monitor the system and decide upon future expansion of the system. The parameters of the system monitored are voltage magnitude, voltage angle, active and reactive power. This paper presents techniques used in order to obtain such parameters for a standard IEEE – 30 bus and IEEE-57 bus network and makes a comparison into the differences with regard to computational time and effectiveness of each solver

Power-flow studies are of great significance in planning and designing the future expansion of power systems as well as in determining the best operation of existing systems. Technologies such as renewables and power electronics are aiding in power conversion and control, thus making the power system massive, complex, and dynamic. HVDC is being preferred due to limitations in HVAC such as reactive power loss, stability, current carrying capacity, operation and control. The HVDC system is being used for bulk power transmission over long distances with minimum losses using overhead transmission lines or submarine cable crossings. Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the number of the HVDC projects. Due to the vast size and inaccessibility of transmission systems, real time testing can prove to be difficult. Thus analyzing power system stability through computer modeling and simulation proves to be a viable solution in this case. The motivation of this project is to construct and analyze the load flow and short circuit behavior in an IEEE 14 bus power system with DC link using MATLAB software. This involves determining the parameters for converter transformer, rectifier, inverter and DC cable for modelling the DC link. The line chosen for incorporation of DC link is a weak bus. This project gives the results of load flow and along with comparison of reactive power flow, system losses, voltage in an AC and an AC-DC system.

AbstractLoad flow analysis is a study to plan and determine the amount of power in an electric power system. During its development, industry requires a large amount of electric power and uses electrical equipment as a means of production. The benefits of an electric load flow analysis are to find out the amount of power in the electric power system whether it still meets predetermined limits, and to find out the amount of voltage at each point, and to obtain initial conditions for the new system planning. Load flow analysis begins calculating the active power and reactive power at each node (bus) installed, loading on the channel or conductor, the load flow calculation will be assisted using the Julia program. From the results of calculations using the Julia program, the voltage at each point with the smallest stress is obtained, namely the 10th point of 209.89 - j10.34V for phase A, -107.39 - j186.87V for phase B, -108.12 + j178,51V for phase CKey Words: Drop Voltage, Julia, Load Flow

Load flow studies are one of the most important aspects of power system planning and operation. The main information obtained from this study comprises the magnitudes and phase angles of load bus voltages, reactive powers at generators buses, real and reactive power flow on transmission lines, other variables being known. To solve the problem of load flow, we use the iterative method, of Newton-Raphson. Analysis of the found results using numerical method programmed on the Matlab software and PSS/E Simulator lead us to seek means of controlling the reactive powers and the bus voltages of the Nouakchott power grid in 2030 year. In our case, we projected the demand forecast at 2015 to 2030 years. To solve the growing demand we injected the power plants in the system firstly and secondly when the production and energy demand are difficult to match due to lack of energy infrastructures in 2030.It is proposed to install a FACTS (Flexible Alternative Current Transmission Systems) system at these buses to compensate or provide reactive power in order to maintain a better voltage profile and transmit more power to customers.

Power flow analysis in an electric power system is an analysis that reveals the performance of an electric power system and the flow of power (active and reactive) for certain conditions when the system is working. The analysis was carried out using the ETAP 16.00 software, the method used was the newton rapshon by taking a case study of normal conditions. From the results of the study, it can be seen that the power flow that occurs in each channel of the 150 kV system in the South Sulawesi system. The amount of active power (MW) that occurs during normal conditions based on the simulation is 1730.87 MW, where the active power is the largest, which is 171 MW from BUS15_TLASA to BUS13_SGMNSA. For the voltage data, there is a slight comparison of the voltage during the simulation compared to the PLN data.

<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>

Abstract Load Flow or Power Flow Analysis in the power system in used to determine the power system parameters such as voltage, current, active power, and reactive power contained in the power grid. The method that has long been used in the calculation of load flow or power flow is the Newton-Raphson iteration method. As for its development, to complete the power flow study, it is carried out by implementing the Artificial Intelligence method, one of which is the Extreme Learning Machine method. This method is used in the simulation of the simple 39 Bus system calculation from IEEE. In this Extreme Learning Machine, the testing analysis is carried out with 2 inputs, 1 hidden layer, 5 neurons, and 2 outputs and the number of datasets is 39 to produce MAE and MAPE respectively 2.02 and 0.76% and with a very fast processing time of 0.010s

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.

The role of distributor system operators is experiencing a gradual but relevant change to include enhanced ancillary and energy dispatch services needed to manage the increased power provided by intermittent distributed generations in medium voltage networks. In this context, the paper proposes the insertion, in strategic points of the network, of specific power electronic systems, denoted as active nodes, which permit the remote controllability of the active and reactive power flow. Such capabilities, as a further benefit, enable the distributor system operators to provide ancillary network services without requiring any procurement with distributed generation systems owners. In particular, the paper highlights the benefits of active nodes, demonstrating their capabilities in reducing the inverse power flow issues from medium to high voltage lines focusing on a network cluster including renewable energy resources. As a further novelty, this study has accounted for a real cluster operated by the Italian distributor system operator Areti. A specific simulation model of the electrical lines has been implemented in DigSilent PowerFactory (DIgSILENT GmbH–Germany) software using real operating data obtained during a 1-year measurement campaign. A detailed cost-benefit analysis has been provided, accounting for different load flow scenarios. The results have demonstrated that the inclusion of active nodes can significantly reduce the drawbacks related to the reverse power flow.
