Introduction to Load Flow Study

Bangladesh
Power Sector
Introduction
- Load flow study is carried out by performing load flow simulations and result analysis.
- Load flow simulations are the most common computational procedures in network planning,
design and operation of power systems.
- Given the network topology, load demands at all supply points, and generation dispatches,
load flow simulations are performed to determine power flow on circuits and transformers
and voltage profile at all buses across the network.
Purpose of load flow study

- Analyzing system steady-state performance under various operating conditions.
- Studying the change effect in network configuration
- Planning and operating transmission system to meet security of supply standards

- Transformer tap positions
- Active power and reactive power losses
- Generator exciter/AVR voltage setting points
- Governor gate position
- Optimization of reactive power compensation schemes

Load flow solutions

- Load flow problems can be represented as a group of non-linear algebraic equations
- Four variables including P, Q, Vm, and Va are defined for each bus or node
- Two variables at any bus or node needs to be defined in advance
- Three different types of node definition, PQ, PV and slack nodes
- Many algorithms could be used to solve the non-linear algebraic equations
- Iterative processes are normally required
Common load flow solution techniques

- Gauss-Seidel iterative technique
- Full Newton-Raphson iterative technique
- Decoupled Newton-Raphson iterative technique

Comparison of LF Solution Techniques

Bangladesh
Power Sector
Comparison of LF solution techniques

- Many techniques have been developed and improved for the load flow solutions
- Different techniques have different iteration convergence characteristics
- Gauss-Seidel techniques generally exhibit poor convergence characteristics
- Newton-Raphson techniques have better convergence characteristics, but require good
starting points or (initial voltage setting points)
- Modified Newton-Raphson teniques are widely employed by commercial load flow programs

- Large capacitor causing voltage rise
- Insufficient reactive power available to sustain the voltage
- Large impedance of a circuit or transformer due to wrong input data
- Unreasonable schedule voltage for generators
- A number of voltage controlling devices working in a conflict mode, e.g. transformer tap
changers, generators etc

- Many load flow simulation platforms are commercially available for system study
- Given network topology and operational scenario, similar or identical load flow results
should be achieved using different simulation platforms
- In order to get the load flow simulation results, good understanding of the interface, input
and output for the actual network represented in the platform is important
- PSSE and DigSilent Power Factory are the most widely used power system load flow
