To Perform Generator Outage as N-1 Contingency &
Analyze its Impact on the Power System
Apparatus:
 MATLAB Software
 MATPOWER 7.1

Circuit Diagram:

Procedure:
1. First of all, I opened the MATLAB Software from my PC desktop.
2. Then I opened the matpower7.1 in my MATLAB.
3. I run the IEEE-5 bus power system by using the following commands:
a = loadcase(‘case5’);
b = runpf(a)
4. Then, I run the file with the first generator outage using the command:
a.gen(1,2) = 0;
 5. Then, observed the value and changed the parameter of first generator back to 1 and changed the
value of next generator as:
a.gen(1,2) = 1;
a.gen(2,2) = 0;
6. Similarly, I observed the values for all five contingencies.
7. Finally, I plot the table for the contingency and its difference.

Conclusion:
I was able to understand the system response after different generator outages. I became familiar with the
load bus system of IEEE-5. I became familiar with working on the MATLAB Software and I was able to
see the implementation of the bus power system and generator outage impact. I was able to analyze the
effect of the outage before the contingency and after the contingency.
