What is a Load Flow Study???
Therefore,
Power-flow Analysis Equations
The starting point of a load flow problem is a single line
diagram of the power system, from which input data for
computer solutions can be obtained. Input data consist of bus
data, transmission line data and transformer data.
Classification Of
Buses
This is numbered as
one for convenience
2.Load bus (P-Q bus)
5.Repeat the above process until the deviations from the solution
are minimal.
Gauss Seidel Method
Let it be assumed that all the buses other than the slack bus are
PQ buses
The slack bus voltage is specified and for (n-1) PQ buses the
bus voltage magnitude and angles are assumed .
Step 1 With the load profile known at each bus allocate PGi and QGi
to all generating stations .With this step ,bus injection ( Pi+jQi)are
known at all the buses than the slack bus
At PV buses
P and V are specified and Q and are unknowns to be
determined . Therefore the values of Q and are to be updated in
every GS iteration. Let 2,3,..m are PV buses and remaining
m+1,..n are PQ buses
Disadvantages
It convergence much slower and may be sometimes fail to do so.
Load flow by Newton-Raphson Power Flow
Algorithm
Step 1. With voltage and angle at the slack bus fixed. Assume
V and at all PQ buses and at all PV buses .use flat
voltage start
Step 2. Compute Pi (for PV and PQ buses) and Qi (for all the
PQ buses) from equation
If all the values are less than tolerance , stop the iteration,
calculate Pi and Qi
Disadvantages
each iteration takes much longer than a Gauss-Seidel iteration
more complicated

Importance
Reliability Reliable only for Reliable for large More reliable than
small system system NR method
Conclusion
Load flow studies also provide the information about the line
and transformer load through the system.
