Load Flow Analysis
Load Flow Analysis
Input:-
1. PQ shall be known for all buses
2. Know the configuration of the system ( for eg, which breaker is open/close etc,
transmission line parameter etc.)
3. Power production for all generator
Output :-
Power flow at the branches, Voltage and Angle
We do the load flow because of the following:-
1. Steady state bus voltage
2. Reactive power flow
3. Transformer tap setting
4. System Losses
5. Generator Exciter/Regulator Voltage set points
6. Performance under emergency system
Radial System:- When only one path exists between two buses in the power system
then it is called as radial system
Stability: A system when disturbed comes back to its original state is called as
stable system. There are 3 types of stability.
1. Voltage Stability ( 5 %)
2. Frequency (1%)
3. Angular Stability (Rotor angle Delta, oscillation must be bonded):- It is divided
into 3 categories viz. steady stage stability, transient and dynamic.
In steady stage stability, it is about the maximum power transfer. In transient
it is referred to as large disturbance such as faults and the system shall be in
synchronism while the dynamic stability is referred as small but repeated
continuous disturbance.
When the rotor of the synchronous machines rotates then the stored kinetic
energy is ½*Jω2sm
