To check overloading of any equipment and voltage limit at any busbar
To take corrective action for removing overloading and voltage violation.

Introduction:
An electric power system consists of three principal divisions: the generating stations, the
transmission lines, and the distribution systems. Generating stations generate electrical
power and deliver it to the customers through transmission lines. Transmission lines are
the connecting links between the generating stations and the distribution systems and lead
to other power systems over interconnections. A distribution system connects all the
individual loads to the transmission lines at substations, which perform voltage
transformation and switching functions.
Under normal conditions, electrical systems operate in their steady-state mode and the
basic calculation required determining the characteristic of this state is termed load-flow
or power-flow study. The objective of load-flow calculations is to determine the steady-
state operating characteristics of the power generation/transmission system for a given set
of loads. The solution is expected to provide information of voltage magnitudes and angles
at all buses, active and reactive power flows in the individual transmission lines,
transmission line losses, and the reactive power generated or absorbed at voltage-
controlled buses. The great importance of load-flow studies is in planning the future
expansion of power systems as well as in determining the best operation of the existing
system without overloading any equipment and to keep bus voltage magnitudes within
specified limits.

Software: Power World Simulator Introduction: An electric power system consists of three principal divisions: the generating stations, the transmission lines, and the distribution systems. Generating stations generate electrical power and deliver it to the customers through transmission lines. Transmission lines are the connecting links between the generating stations and the distribution systems and lead to other power systems over interconnections. A distribution system connects all the individual loads to the transmission lines at substations, which perform voltage transformation and switching functions. Under normal conditions, electrical systems operate in their steady-state mode and the basic calculation required determining the characteristic of this state is termed load-flow or power-flow study. The objective of load-flow calculations is to determine the steady- state operating characteristics of the power generation/transmission system for a given set of loads. The solution is expected to provide information of voltage magnitudes and angles at all buses, active and reactive power flows in the individual transmission lines, transmission line losses, and the reactive power generated or absorbed at voltage- controlled buses. The great importance of load-flow studies is in planning the future expansion of power systems as well as in determining the best operation of the existing system without overloading any equipment and to keep bus voltage magnitudes within specified limits.

Operating conditions must always be selected for each study. At each bus except one, the net real power injected into the network must be specified. The power drawn by a load is the negative power input to the system. The power from generator is the positive power input. In addition, at these buses either the net flow of reactive power into the network or the magnitude of the voltage must be specified; that is, at each bus a decision is required whether the voltage magnitude or the reactive-power flow is to be maintained constant. The usual case is to specify reactive power at load buses and voltage magnitude at generator buses. In digital computer programs provision is made for the calculation to consider voltage to be maintained constant at a bus only so long as the reactive-power generation remains within designated limits. The bus, at which real-power flow is not specified, called the swing bus, is usually a bus to which a generator is connected. Obviously, the net power flow to the system cannot be fixed in advance at every bus because the loss in the system is not known until the study is complete. The generators at the swing bus supply the difference between the specified real power into the system at the other buses and the total system output plus losses. Both voltage magnitude and angle are specified at the swing bus. The computer as part of the solution determines real and reactive powers at this bus. Power/load-flow study of a power system deals with four variables at any bus. They are P, Q, V, and φ. Depending on the type of bus two of them are specified and the remaining two are determined by the load-flow study.

Short Questions:

1. Why do we go for iterative methods to solve load flow problems?

2. What are the informations that are obtained from a load flow study?
