Experiment No 1

Objective
To study Load Flow Analysis of Power System using ETAP 12.06.

Apparatus
Intel Pentium computer having ETAP 12.06 installed.

Theory
Load flow analysis program calculates the bus voltage, branch power factor, currents and power flow through the electrical system. The
program allows for swing, voltage regulated and unregulated power sources with multiple utility generator connections. It handles both
redial and loop systems.

Load Flow analysis button

When you click the load flow analysis button, you can see the following bar at right side of window.

Run Load Flow Studies

Select a study case from study case editor. Then click on the Run Load Flow study icon to perform load flow study. A dialog box will appear
to specify the output report name if the output file name is set to prompt. The study results will then appear on the one-line diagram and
in the output report.

Load Flow display option

The results from load flow studies are displayed on one-line diagram. To edit how these results look, click on the Load Flow display
options icon.

Load Flow Report Manager

Load flow output reports are provided in two forms: ASC text file and crystal reports. The report manager provide four pages (Complete,
Input, Result and Summary) for view the different parts of the output report for both text and crystal reports. Available formats for crystal
reports are displayed in each page of the Report Manager for load flow studies.

Load flow text output reports (with an .ifr extension) can be viewed by any word processor such as Note pad, Word pad, Adobe Reader
and Microsoft word. Currently by default, the output reports are viewed by Note pad.

The text output reports are 132 character wide with 66 lines per page. For the correct formatting and pagination of output reports, you
must modify the default settings of your word processor application.

Study case editor

The Load-flow study case editor contains solution control variables, loading conditions and a variety of options for output reports. Power
Station allows you to create and save an unlimited number of study cases. Load-flow calculations are conducted and reported in
accordance with the settings of the study case selected toolbar. You can easily switch between study cases without the trouble of
resetting the study case options each time. This feature is designed to organize you study efforts and save your time.

As a part of the multi-dimensional database concept of power Station, study cases can be used for any combination of the three major
system components, i.e for any configuration status, one line diagram presentation and Base/Revision data.

When you are in Load Flow Analysis mode, you can access the Load flow study case editor by clicking on the study case button from the
Load flow study case toolbar. You can also access this editor from the project view by clicking on the Load flow study case folder.
