Calculate voltages at bus 2 and 3. Determine the line flows and line losses and the slack bus real and reactive
power. Line impedances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base. Use an accuracy factor of 0.00001.
Construct a power flow diagram and show the direction of the line flows.
Introduction:
This MATLAB lab equips us with skills for analyzing power systems. We'll focus on load flow analysis,
which is crucial for understanding voltage and power flow throughout the network. We'll build a program
that uses the Gauss-Seidel method to analyze a sample system. The program will calculate voltage at key
points (buses) and determine how much real and reactive power flows on each line. While this version
doesn't calculate line losses or slack bus power, it provides a solid foundation for further exploration.
Through this lab, we'll gain hands-on experience with the Gauss-Seidel method for power flow analysis in
MATLAB. We'll also learn to interpret the results, including voltage levels and the direction of power flow
within the system. This practical approach prepares us to analyze and assess power system behavior.
