Introduction: In this project, we are studying the load flow analysis in which steady-state voltages are computed from a given two-generator power system. We do this by recreating this system in a program used to simulate power flow (Matlab) and analyzing the effects that are seen on elements of the power system when implemented with one another. This given model was built using an arrangement of 2 generators, 2 transformers, and 7 buses with slightly different values at the beginning and end of our system. In order to know which elements of the system needed particular pieces of information that were not given to us, we broke down the load flow of the entire system, and performed hand computations for certain values of the system that were needed to make this model operate as intended. Procedure: Software Needed for This Project:
Matlab (Simulink) was used to recreate the entire 7-bus power system pictured above, also using the system parameters given initially before starting. We used the value of z1 as the rating for the transmission lines, in addition to the given variable lengths of each individual line. The given values of X’’ and X0 were assumed to be presentations of the generator's impedances, and the transformer impedances. We then needed to make our Ybus calculations by hand, and used Matlab as well, to help us do the computations necessary for the unknown values. Once the unknowns were found, and we could see the oversaturation of the system as a whole, we added a shunt capacitor onto bus 4 in order to balance out the system. We gave this capacitor a rating of 100 Mvars. After adding in this additional element to our system, we are able to conclude that our MVA ratings are well within the desired criteria of the system. Results: Bus voltages before AND after capacitive load was added YBus Matrix: Calculations:
