Course Coordinator: Dr Y. Habtay
Course Work: Lab 3 - Analysis of a Nine-Bus Power System
___________________________________________________________________________

Aims
To enhance understanding of practical and theoretical concepts in relation to design and operation of
interconnected power systems.

Outcomes
As a result of completing this assignment, students will be able to:
(a) interpret a brief and produce an appropriate lab report to a professional standard following the
guidance notes on preparing a logbook;
(b) demonstrate an understanding of how the Power World Simulator (PWS) is used to build a system
and obtain appropriate simulation data;
(c) check the quality of, and analyse, simulation data by using the tools available within PWS
appropriately;
(d) demonstrate an understanding of relevant theoretical concepts and the application of these concepts
through appropriate analysis as appropriate;
(e) draw together all of the above through succinct (but critical) discussion and appropriate conclusions.

Outline Part I
A single-line diagram of a nine-bus power system is to be developed in Power World Simulator (PWS). Input
data are given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. When constructing the one-line representation of the power system in
PWS, make sure that lines do not cross each other.

Once the one line diagram is constructed, a thorough analysis of the power system can to be carried out. For
this part of this lab,

1. Model this system in Power World Simulator and obtain a complete solution using the Gauss-Seidel
iterative technique. Investigate the impact of variation in the MVA tolerance on the conversion rate (that
is the number of iterations required for conversion). Here are the steps you need to undertake to complete
this task and the next one.

a. Set the tolerance MVA value to 0.02. To do this follow these steps: Options (ribbon) -> Simulator Option
(from the Case Options subgroup) -> in the window that pops up, Power Flow Solution -> Common Options
(here you will find both the MVA Convergence Tolerance & Maximum Number of Iterations. Once you have
changed the tolerance value, press OK at the bottom right to accept the change and return back to the main
case window.
b. Now reset the case to flat start. To do this: Tools -> Solve-> Solve drop down arrow-> click on Reset to Flat
Start -> in the window that pops up, click OK to accept the first ticked option in the list. This sets all bus
voltage magnitude to set points and angles to that of the slack.
c. Since PWS runs the Newton-Raphson method by default, to run the Gauss-Seidel method you have to select
Tools -> Solve drop down arrow-> click on Gauss-Seidel Power Flow. This will run one complete solution
and stop.
d. Now read the number of iterations for the conversion from the log. If the log is not already open, you can
open it from the top left links.
e. You now need to increase the MVA tolerance by steps of 0.02 (until you reach 0.2) and repeat the above
steps (a – d). Make a table of MVA tolerance and number of iterations that can be used to plot a graph of
Number of iterations vs MVA tolerance to investigate the relationship between them to help your
discussion.

2. Repeat the tasks in (1) above using the Newton-Raphson iterative method. Determine the number of
iterations required for the system to converge. This is the base case (BC).

Graphs would be useful tools for parts 1 & 2. In both cases, the x-axis will be the MVA tolerance while the y-
axis will be the number of iterations. You will have to use excel or Matlab to plot the graphs.

3. Identify and discuss any issues related to the base case from the solutions obtained from the BC.
4. Determine the acceptable generation range of all generators (except the one connected to the slack Bus),
keeping each line and transformer in the system loaded at or below 80% of its MVA limit. Each time you make a
change of generator, you must start from the BC.
5. Determine the compensation (how much and where) required to bring the voltage at all Buses to within the
acceptable range (95% to 105%) for the BC. Comment on the actual MVArs provided by the capacitor banks
relative to the capacitor ratings. Note that compensation is normally located at load buses.
6. Discuss the effect of the insertion of the capacitor banks in (5) on line-loadings and total power losses in the
system.
