1. Introduction 
In this lab we are going to study the formation of single line diagram of the power system and then
try to simulate this power system into the Simulink in order to do power flow studies as in the
power system each component is represented with reactance of each component. So, admittance
and impedance matrix are used for power flow studies and short circuit studies. So, their simulation
and understanding are important task in power system studies as power system is very complex
network and software are used for this purpose. However, there is a slack bus, PQ bus, Load bus
etc in the system that define different parameters of the system.

 
Figure 1: Different type of Buses. 

2. Procedure 
In this lab, in this circuit, we have given a network with impedances are mention for the
transmission lines. So, we have to find the power flow studies to the active and reactive power of
each bus.
Then using the power system tools we can make the reactance diagram as shown in figure 2.

 Slack bus:
It the bus in the system for which both voltage and power is known and it is used to
balance the system by compensating the P and Q for the system.
 Load bus
It is the bus for which P and Q are known and it is to show consumption of power.

3. Calculation 
we used Simulink to design the system using the following base quantities as  

Vbase=25KV 

f=60Hz 

Zbase=Vbase^2/Sbase=25KV^2/100MVA=6.25ohm 

So, using these details we have calculated the actual values for R and L for each bus and TX lines 
using per unit concept. 

𝑅 0.02 ∗ 6.25 
𝑋 0.04 ∗ 6.25
6.631 𝑥10^ 4

𝑅 0.0125 ∗ 6.25

𝑅 0.01 ∗ 6.25

4.975𝑥10^ 4

4. MATLAB SIMULATION 
We have used these values to model the single line diagram as shown in the figure 3

After simulating this system, we get the following results as shown in the figure 4.

5. Conclusion 
As we can see that power flow studies, we get result for each bus as shown in the figure 4.
So MATLAB can be used for power flow studies by using different technique such as gauss
seidel newton Raphson but computer use iteration techniques to find the values.
