Abstract

To study how a power network behaves when subjected to variations of operating condition, load flow analysis is utilized. A three-bus radial network was modelled on ETAP 19.0.1C to study steady-state behaviour and five operating cases namely Normal Loading, Light Loading, Overload the transformer, Poor power factor, Single motor failure have been considered and investigated. The Newton-Raphson was used for solution of load flow with a tolerance of 0.0001p.u.. All results displayed are outputs direct from the ETAP simulation. Beside this increasing reactive power demand shows a profound effect on both voltage profile and apparent power demand despite active power change was minimal.
