Understanding to Basic Simulator functions
Theory:
Basics

Power simulator is a power yet easy to understand tool for designing ,simulating ,analysing and
understanding the operation of a power system.It provides the environment with Edit mode and
Run mode .Edit mode is for developing or drawing the circuit diagrams and run provides with
the options for simulation. It is a very easy to go process for oneline diagrams.From ‘’Draw’’ the
Option for ‘’Network ‘’ selected provides with you all the compoents like
buses,generators,transmission lines, transformers etc.Select the components and by simple
clicking in the workspace component will show up along with the pop opening of the window
from where to select the desired input values.Connecting all components completes the first
step.Going to run mode play your simulation from ‘’Tools’’ play button and the visualizing of
the power flow in the form of annimation along with the values of unknowns i-e (from where
how much energy is flowing to what part) makes it way more easier to understand

Objectives

 To understand the working of power simulator

 To draw the one line diagram of the given system
 To simulate and find out the Y bus of the system

Drawing the one line diagram

Fig.2

This diagram is created in simulator and it shows the connections of a power system model
where there is a slack bus, generator, transmission lines etc.

 Simulating

Fig.3

In this diagram it has been run and it is pretty easy to tell the load/power flow just by seeing it,
the arrow pointers show the direction of flow.

Calculating the Y bus

Calculation of the Y bus is a relatively easy task. You have to go to ‘’solution details’’ in the
‘’case information’’ and select the Y bus which gives you the calculated Y bus which could be
verified.

Learning Outcomes

In this experiment we learnt to use the power simulator and draw and simulate the power system one line
diagram, this is excellent simulation software as this sort of systems cannot be designed in lab before
setting up the plant so we are left with simulation not only this but it also can implement many
mathematical and analytical solving techniques like guass seidal and newton raphson to find out the
unknowns. Using the guass seidal power flow we calculate the unknown voltages, angle of voltage,
unknown real and reactive power, through animation saw the power flow and observe fault in design
parameters also calculated the Y bus matrix and verified it with theoretical calculations.
