flow analysis is done on ETAP. The outcome of this
analysis helps in fault analysis and for certain
hypothetical situations. The results are then verified
using matlab.A fault study has also been performed.

INTRODUCTION:
A power-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of
electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow
study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line
diagram. In a power system, power flows from generating
station to the load through different branches of the network.
The flow of active and reactive power is known as load flow
or power flow. Load flow analysis is an important tool used
by power engineers for planning and determining the steady
state operation of a power system. Power flow studies provide Figure 1 Single_Line diagram of IEEE 9_bus system
a systematic mathematical approach to determine the various
bus voltages, phase angles, active and reactive power flows
through different branches, generators, transformer settings
and load under steady state conditions.[1] The power system
is modeled by an electric circuit which consists of generators,
transmission network and distribution network.
The main information obtained from the load flow or power
flow analysis comprises magnitudes and phase angles of
load bus voltages, reactive powers and voltage phase angles
at generator buses, real and reactive power flows on
transmission lines together with power at the reference bus;
other variables being specified. The resulting equations in
terms of power, known as the power flow equations become
non-linear and must be solved by iterative techniques using
numerical methods. Numerical methods are techniques by
which mathematical problems are formulated so that they
can be solved with arithmetic operations and they usually
provide only approximate solution. The equations are solved Figure 2load data for IEEE 9-bus system

Method. :- Our system consists of;9 buses, 3 generators, 11
branches and 8 loads.[3]

We performed analysis by completing following


steps:
*Firstly, install the ETAP software, after that open
the new project.
* Draw the buses and enter the data
* Draw the transmission lines and enter the data
* Draw the generators and enter the data.
* Draw the load and enter the data.

CONCLUSION:
Power system analysis is a significant aspect of power
system planning and operation. The analysis does not only
gives the voltage and phase angle on each bus but it also
helps in calculating the fault currents that largely helps in
designing protection scheme for a system. The objectives of
a protection plan are to detect and isolate faults being
selective, economical, reliable, and fast. Current limiting
reactors are inductor coils connected in series with the
system to reduce the fault currents. The main motive of
using current limiting reactors is to reduce short-circuit
currents so that circuit breakers with lower short circuit
breaking capacity can be used[2].
