  Authors : Rashmi; Amit Verma; Bhupesh Singh

 

The objective of this paper is to develop a MATLAB program to calculate voltages magnitude, angle of voltage, active and reactive power at each bus for IEEE 9, IEEE 14 bus, IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus system. At first IEEE 9 bus system MATLAB program is executed with the input data then IEEE 14, IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus is executed with the input data. This type of analysis is useful for solving the power flow problem in different power systems which will useful to calculate the unknown quantities. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB for test cases of IEEE 9-Bus, IEEE 14-Bus, IEEE 30-Bus and IEEE 57-Bus system. The simulation results were compared for number of iteration and tolerance value. The compared results show that Newton-Raphson is the most reliable method because it has the least number of iteration and converges faster.

In the load flow analysis methods simulated, the tolerance values used for simulation are 0.001 and 0.1 for all the simulation carried out except for the IEEE 57-bus using the fast decoupled method, which did not converge with the tolerance values. This explains why the Fast Decoupled method is not as accurate as Newton-Raphson method because a lower tolerance value of 0.1 was used to carry out the simulation for the IEEE 57-bus Fast Decouple Method.
