A private developer proposes to install a synchronous type generating plant connected to the local 11 kV network. If the generating plant produces 14 MW operating at 0.97 lagging power factor, calculate: (i) the reverse power flow into the transmission line during the peak loading conditions (11 kV bus is now the sending end) (ii) the corresponding per-unit voltage at the 11 kV busbar. If all factory loads are disconnected (e.g., due to a fault, or servicing) and if the generating plant continues to produce active power output of 14 MW, calculate the reactive power output of the generating plant required to keep the voltage rise at the 11 kV busbar within the statutory limit of +6 % of the nominal voltage.
Load flow analysis
Load flow analysis is a study or numerical calculation of the power flow of power in steady-state conditions in any electrical system. It is used to determine the flow of power (real and reactive), voltage, or current in a system under any load conditions.
Nodal Matrix
The nodal matrix or simply known as admittance matrix, generally in engineering term it is called Y Matrix or Y bus, since it involve matrices so it is also referred as a n into n order matrix that represents a power system with n number of buses. It shows the buses' nodal admittance in a power system. The Y matrix is rather sparse in actual systems with thousands of buses. In the power system the transmission cables connect each bus to only a few other buses. Also the important data that one needs for have a power flow study is the Y Matrix.
Types of Buses
A bus is a type of system of communication that transfers data between the components inside a computer or between two or more computers. With multiple hardware connections, the earlier buses were parallel electrical wires but the term "bus" is now used for any type of physical arrangement which provides the same type of logical functions similar to the parallel electrical bus. Both parallel and bit connections are used by modern buses. They can be wired either electrical parallel or daisy chain topology or are connected by hubs which are switched same as in the case of Universal Serial Bus or USB.
