Objective:
Perform a detailed analysis of a 9-bus power system by adding an extra load of 500MW
(distributed on different buses) & by applying N-1 contingency (random branch outage).
Software to be used:
MATLAB software
MATPOWER 7.1
THEORY
Introduction:
MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation
of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other
languages.The MATLAB application is built around the MATLAB programming language.
Common usage of the MATLAB application involves using the "Command Window" as an
interactive mathematical shell or executing text files containing MATLAB code.
Advantages of MATLAB:
Ease of use.
Platform independence.
Predefined functions.
Device-independent plotting.
Graphical user interface.
MATLAB compiler.
MATPOWER:
MATPOWER is designed to give the best performance possible while keeping the code simple
to understand and modify. MATPOWER is a package of free, open-source Matlab-language M-
files for solving steady-state power system simulation and optimization problems, such as:
power flow (PF)
continuation power flow (CPF)
extensible optimal power flow (OPF)
unit commitment (UC)
stochastic, secure multi-interval OPF/UC.
9-Bus System:
This WSCC 3 Machines, 9 Bus Test Case (known as P.M Anderson 9 Bus represents a simple
approximation of the Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) to an equivalent system
with nine buses and three generators.
Block Diagram:
Procedure:
Firstly made a circuit diagram.
Then enter a code on command window.
Entered A= loadcase(‘case9’) on command window for 9-bus power system.
Changed the load from 90MW to 275MW for making load=500MW.
Then compared the active and reactive power flow with load from bus data.
After that compared bus voltage and angles with load.
Similarly compared cost with the load.
Code:
A= loadcase(‘case9’)
a.bus(5,3)=275;
b=runopf(a)
Table:
When load is 315MW
bus voltages angles P(MW) Q(MVAR) Total cost
1 1.1 0.0*
2 1.097 4.893
3 1.087 3.249
4 1.094 -2.463
5 1.084 -3.982 90 30 5296.69$/hr
6 1.1 0.602
7 1.089 -1.197 100 35
8 1.1 0.905
9 1.072 -4.616 125 50
Comparison of load with per unit cost and total cost = 11376.99$/hr
Conclusion:
In this experiment, came to know about the impact of extra load. This also helps us to become
familiar with 9 bus power system. Also came to know how the total cost changes with the change
in load. Then, observed the voltage magnitudes and angles.
