Software
By: Dr. J. A. Laghari
This example is taken
from the book Power System

Chapter 6,
Example 6.7.
 Example
Figure shows the one line diagram of a simple power three bus power
system with generation at bus 1. The magnitude of voltage at bus 1 is
adjusted to 1.05 p.u. the scheduled loads at buses 2 and 3 are as marked on
the diagram. Line impedances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base
and the line charging susceptance are neglected.

(a) Using the Gauss-seidel


method, determine the phasor
values of the voltage at the load
buses (P-Q buses) 2 and 3
accurate to four decimal places.
(b) Find the slack bus real
and reactive power.
 Example
(c) Determine the line flows and line losses. Construct a
power flow diagram showing the direction of the line flows.
