Exercise 1

Creation of Power Flow Data Files

Objective:

The objective of this exercise is to introduce PSS/E (Power System Simulator for
Engineering). At the end of this exercise, you will learn how to create PSS/E power flow data
files: the raw data file that contain basic system data and the slider binary file that is used to
draw the single line diagram corresponding to the entered system data.

Required Background:
A good understanding of the steady state models of generators, power transformers and
transmission lines, per unit system, and basic formulation of power flow problem.

9-bus Power System [1]

The simple power system used as an example in this exercise has nine buses, three generators
and three loads. A single line diagram of the system is given in Fig.1. The bus data and
branch/transformer data are given in Tables 1 and 2 respectively.

Procedure:
Follow the steps given below to create new PSS/E case corresponding to the 9-bus system
given above, enter system data and create a single line diagram.
Step 1: Start the program
Start → All programs → Siemens PTI → PSSE33 → PSSE®E 33
(Alternately you can use the short cut icon on the desktop)
Step 2: Set the system frequency
Misc → Change program settings (Fig. 2) → Base frequency → Set to ’50 Hz’
(Fig. 3) → Ok

Step 3: Create a new case


File → New → Select Network Case and Diagram (Fig. 4) → Ok

Fig. 4 : New case dialog

Enter MVA base (‘100 MVA’) and case heading (‘9_Bus_system’) (Fig. 5)

Step 4: To enter system data using the worksheet interface select network data tab (Fig. 6)

Fig. 6 : Network data


There are 19 subtabs to choose from at the bottom of the network data tab. The most
import subtabs are described in Step 5 - 10.

Step 5: Bus subtab
Inside the Bus tab there are several parameters that can be set (Fig. 7).
Enter bus data given in Table 1
Bus type code:
1 – Load bus (PQ bus)
2 – Generator bus (PV bus)
3 – Swing bus (Slack bus)

Fig. 7 : Bus data

Step 6: Plant subtab


The plant tab is used to add power plants and set their terminal voltages (Fig. 8).
Set specified voltages and remote controlled buses (if any) for G1, G2 & G3

Fig. 8 : Plant data

Step 7: Machine subtab


The machine tab is used to add machines at an existing plant (Fig. 9).
Enter PGen values for G2 & G3

Step 8: Load subtab


The load tab is used to enter the load data records (Fig. 10).
Enter load values (both P & Q) for PQ buses (buses 5, 6 & 8)

Fig. 10 : Load data

Step 9: Branch subtab


The branch tab is used to enter transmission line parameters.
Enter transmission line parameters (R, X & B) given in Table 2 (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11 : Branch data


Note – When entering line parameters a message popups and displays “Info: Branch
is no longer treated as a zero impedance line”. Press Ok to close the message.
Zero impedance lines are used to model bus ties, jumpers, couplers or breakers.

Step 10: 2 Winding subtab


The 2 winding transformer tab maintains the transformer data (Fig. 13).
Enter 2 winding transformer data given in Table 2

Step 11: Save data to a .raw file


File → Save → Select Power Flow Raw Data tab → Provide a data file name
(‘9_Bus_System_Ex1.raw’) → Ok (Fig. 14)

Step 12: Create a single line diagram (Fig. 15) using auto draw function and save it to a .sld
file using the following steps.
Click on Auto draw icon → enter selected bus (‘bus 2’) → Grow N levels (‘4’) →
Ok (Fig. 16)

Step 13: Save the diagram


File → Save → Provide a single line file name (‘9_Bus_System_Ex1.sld’) → Ok
Step 14: Check whether you can view/edit the data of individual components in the single
diagram view.
