ASSIGNMENT 2 (LOAD FLOW GS AND NR)

Q.1 The bus admittance matrix for the power system shown in the figure below is
given in pu. With the complex powers on load buses 2,3 and 4 as shown, determine
the value for V2 , V3 , V4 that is produced by the first and second iterations of the
Gauss Seidel procedure. Choose the initial guess
V2 (0)= V3 (0)= V4 (0)= 1.0∟0 pu.

Q.2 Assume a 0.8+j0.4 per uint load at bus 2 is being supplied by a generator at bus 1
through a transmission line with series impedance of 0.05+j0.1 per unit. Assuming bus
1 is the swing bus with fixed per unit voltage of 1.0∟0, use Gauss Seidel method to
calculate the voltage at bus 2 after three iterations.
Q.3 A generator bus with per unit voltage as 1pu supplies a 150 MW, 50 Mvar load
through a lossless transmission line with per unit (100 MVA base) impedance of j0.1
and no line charging. Starting with an initial guess of 1.0∟0, iterate until converged
using the Newton Raphson load flow method. For convergence criteria use a
maximum power flow mismatch of 0.1 MVA.
Q.4 For a three bus power system assume bus 1 is the swing with a per unit voltage of
1.0∟0, bus 2 is a PQ bus with a per unit load of 2.0+j0.5, and bus 3 is a PV bus with
1.0 per unit generation and 1.0 voltage setpoint. The per unit line impedance are j0.1
between buses 1 and 2, j0.4 between buses 1 and 3, and j0.2 between buses 2 and 3.
Using a flat start, use the Newton Raphson approach to determine first iteration phasor
voltages at bus 2 and 3.

Q.5 figure shows the one line diagram of a simple three bus system with generation at
buses 1 and 2. The voltage at the bus 1 is 1.0∟0 per unit. Voltage magnitude at bus 2
is fixed at 1.05 pu with a real power generation of 400MW. A load consisting of
500MW and 400Mvar is taken from bus 3. Line admittances are marked in per unit on
a 100 MVA base. Neglect line resistance and charging susceptances.
(a) Find the expression for Real power at bus 2 and Real Reactive power at bus 3.
(b) Using Newton Raphson method start with initial estimate of V20= 1.0+j0 and
V30= 1.0+j0, and keeping the |V2|=1.05 pu, determine the phasor values of V2 and
V3. Perform two iterations.
