The power system consists of generation, transmission, and distribution systems that convert energy sources like coal into electrical energy. Load flow analysis determines the steady-state operating characteristics of the power system for a given load and generator conditions. It provides outputs like voltage, power flows, and losses. The inputs include bus types (PV, PQ, slack) with real/reactive power specifications and line impedance data. Common load flow calculation methods are Gauss-Seidel, impedance matrix, and Newton-Raphson.

Power system/load flow

Definition: The power system is a network


which consists generation , transmission and
distribution system. It uses the forms of
energy (coal , diesel , renewable) and
converts it into electrical energy. The power
system includes the devices connected to
the system like the synchronous generator
transformer , insulators , circuit breaker,
conductor , etc .
Load flow (power flow) is a basic analysis
for the study of power systems. It is used
for normal, steady-state operation. It gives
you the information what is happening in a
system.
Load flow objective

from calculations we can determine the
steady-state operating characteristics
of the power system for a given load
and generator real power and voltage
conditions. Once we have this
information, we can calculate easily
real and reactive power flow in all
branches together with power losses

What are the inputs and outputs of load flow analysis?

•input data for power flow analysis:

Bus data:
- (PV)bus :
 Real power.

 Voltage magnitude.
- (PQ) bus :
 Real power.
 Reactive power.

- slack bus:
 Voltage magnitude (usually 1 per unit).
 Voltage angle(specified to be zero).
Line data:
- Transmission lines:
 Resistance.
 Reactance.

- Transformers:
 Winding resistances on low and high voltage side.

 Iron loss admittance.


. Power flow analysis provides following output data for each node/branch
 Voltage magnitude.
 Voltage angle.
 Real and reactive power.

 Power losses.
. Bus types
 PV bus. (sometimes called as a Generation bus).
 PQ bus (sometimes called as a load bus).
 Slack bus (reference bus).
The methods of voltage control in a power system

1. Using excitation control or automatic voltage


regulators at generating stations.
2-By using tap changing transformers.
3-By using series capacitors.
4- By using shunt capacitors.
