1. Objective

The first Power System Analysis lab aims to enhance your knowledge and skills in power system modelling and power flow calculation and analysis. At the end of the lab session, you should be able to build simple power network model, including generator, transformer, transmission line and load, and carry out power flow simulation and analyse by explaining indicative parameters such as active power, reactive power, bus voltage magnitude and phase angle.

2. Introduction

In this Lab Session, you will learn how to simulate a small power transmission network and  how to perform. power flow calculation in a powerful modern power system simulation software, DIgSILENT PowerFactory. By this simulation exercise, you will learn the underload and  overload effects over a long transmission distance on the system operational performance, mitigation method to stablise the bus voltage, and the efficient Newton-Raphson approach and its application in simulation calculation.

Question 1.1: Network conditions with loads at unity power factor [15 marks]

•    Run power flow calculation for loads of 40, 80, 120, 160, 240 and 280 MW

•    Record the active and reactive powers as well as voltage magnitudes and phases of

the generator bus and load bus. Present your recordings in the form. of table/figure in your report;     [10 marks]

•    Discuss your findings;                                                                                       [5 marks]

•    Note:

o To change the setting of active power for the load, go into the ‘power flow’ tab in the load model;

o To run a power flow calculation, click on the ‘Load Flow Calculation’ button

Question 1.2: Network conditions with loads at 0.9 inductive power factor [15 marks]

•    Change the load power factor to 0.9 inductive by introducing appropriate MVAr values

•    Run power flow calculation for loads of 40, 80, 120 and 160 MW. And record the

new active and reactive powers as well as voltage magnitudes and phases of the

generator bus and load bus. Present your recordings in the form. of table/figure in your report;          [10 marks]

Question 1.3: Network conditions with loads at 0.9 inductive power factor with reactive power compensation [20 marks]

•    One approach to keep the load voltage as close to 1.0 p.u. as possible is to connect a source of reactive power near the load bus. In this case, a shunt capacitor or a shunt inductor is added to the load bus. It will produce or absorb reactive power to support and maintain the voltage.

•    Find the most suitable values of the reactive power generation/absorption of the shunt capacitor/inductor to maintain the load bus voltage as close as possible to 1.0 p.u. for each load level.
