Today, countries around the world are developing rapidly, leading to the
power system network being developed more and more modern, more complex
and more stable.
Not only other countries, Vietnam is also considered one of the developing
countries with a very fast development speed, and so the development of the
electricity network is also very modern and complex and accompanied by is the
power supply stability.
And in order to maintain the stability of the system's power supply,
engineers must analyze and solve problems related to power distribution on the
system. For example, they must predict, calculate the maximum power of the load
or the power losses on the transmission lines, distribution lines, and the losses of
the transformer.
5. Purposes and requirements:
– To research basic theory
– Studying about PowerWorld simulator software
– Studying about the power flow of the system
6. Place and time:

7. Introduction about the topic:
To be able to analyze and solve power flow problems, engineers must have
relevant knowledge as well as skills in using computational simulation software to
analyze and verify calculation results with the help of a computer.
Complex power network analysis applications suggested by Mahmoud
Saleh, Yusef Esa and Ahmed Mohamed that Matlab or PowerWorld Simulator are
useful in approaching the simulation of power grid systems and have also been
applied to loss analysis. capacity and voltage stability on the grid.
In order to strengthen the theoretical basis in the process of learning and
researching in the field of electrical systems, the software applied in analyzing and
simulating basic problems is PowerWorld Simulator. The main content of this
study is to perform simulation and analysis by computer simulation software

PREFACE
Today, the rapid development of countries around the world has made the
demand for electricity increase rapidly, along with the development of the
electricity network in the production, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Thereby creating a modern and stable closed loop network.
In Vietnam, one of the countries with a very fast growth rate, the maximum
demand of the load as well as the needs for electricity is increasing rapidly. As a
result, load imbalances make power system stability a dilemma for network
operators.
In order to ensure that the power system works safely and without power
supply problems, it is first necessary to study the problem of grid capacity
distribution when applying specialized software. Then consider the problems of
short-circuit current calculation and system stability to improve the appropriate
operating mode.
There is many software that can calculate and solve the system's problems
such as Matlab/Matpower or PowerWorld Simulator to simulate the problem of
optimizing the power trend, finding the power limit domain, through electrical
system simulation.
However, this study only focuses on using PowerWorld Simulator software
to analyze power distribution based on the basic problem of power network.
Simulation application on PowerWorld Simulator to make comments on calculation
results based on computer simulation software compared to theoretical calculations.

Chapter 3 Analyze, drawing oneline diagram, run the simulation, and results
CHAPTER 3. ANALYZE, DRAWING ONELINE DIAGRAM, RUN THE

SIMULATION, AND RESULTS
2.1. Pose a problem and analyze the problem
A basic 3-bus electrical network has the single-line diagram as shown in

Error: Reference source not found. Analyze the power flow of the Electrical
network by using the PowerWorld Simulation.
Figure 19. Single-line diagram of a basic electrical network [2].
As can be seen from Figure 19, the electrical network that has three bus,
with bus 1 is the Slack Bus, bus 2 is supply the power for two types of load that is
active power load and reactive power load, bus 3 is connected with the generator
that generates 200MW nominal power. And these parameters of three bus power
system as showed in Table 1 follow:
Table 1. Bus parameters.

Bus 1 Bus 2 Bus 3
V1 (p.u) 1.05∠0o
|V 3| (p.u) 1.04
PL (MW) 400
QL (Mvar) 250

In addition, the network contains three transmission lines, from bus 1 to bus
2, from bus 2 to bus 3, and from bus 1 to bus 3. The parameters of the transmission
lines are given in Table 2 as follow:
Table 2. Transmission line parameters.

Starting bus Ending bus R (p.u) X (p.u)
1 2 0.02 0.04
2 3 0.0125 0.025
1 3 0.01 0.03
2.2. Draw oneline diagram using simulation software and set the parameters
for the drawned diagram
First, to be able to draw a graph, you need to create a new case by clicking
on the PowerWorld icon in the upper left corner of the work screen to scroll down
the ribbon as shown in Figure 20, then click on New Case
Figure 20. The main ribbon of the simulator

After creating a new case, the main working screen of the simulation
software now appears a whiteboard to edit the simulation network as shown in
Figure 21
Figure 21. Whiteboard for network drawing
Secondly, to be able to edit and draw the network, it is necessary for

changing the mode into edit mode as shown in Figure 6.
Furthermore, it is needed to access to the Draw toolbar  Net Work to be
able to draw the components present in the electrical network as shown in Figure
22.

Figure 22. Components ribbon.

Next is the drawing of the electrical network, first components is the slack
bus named as bus number 1 as shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23. Slack bus illustration.

Figure 24. Slack bus information.
The Bus informations as showned in Figure 24, and Bus display as shown in
Figure 25.

Figure 25. Slack bus display.
Following up the slack bus, the load bus, which is supply the electrical power
for the load is also presented as bus number 2 as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26. Bus number 2 (load bus).
The informations and the display of the bus are shown in Figure 27 and
Figure 28, respectively.

Figure 27. Load bus informations.
Figure 28. Bus display.

The last bus of the electrical network named as bus number 3, also called a
PV bus which is connected with the generator. Figure 29 depicts the illustration of
the PV bus.
Figure 29. PV bus illustration.
The bus information and display is shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31,
respectively.
Figure 30. PV bus informations.

Figure 31. PV bus display.
The next components are transmission lines, these transmission lines from
bus 1-to-bus 2, from bus 2-to-bus 3, and from bus 3-to-bus 1 is connected with the
bus as illustrated as in Figure 32.
Figure 32. Bus connection by transmission lines.

The per unit impedance parameters that set for these transmission lines are
showned as in Figure 33, Figure 34, and Figure 35 as follow.
Figure 33. Bus 1-to-bus 2 transmission line parameters.

The next step is connecting the Load into the load bus as shown in Figure 36
and set the parameters for the load.
Figure 36. Load connection.
According to the problem as showned in Figure 19, the load has 2 two types
of power. Therefore, the load parameters are set as Figure 37 as follows,

Figure 37. Load parameters.
The last components on the circuit now is the generators, for the first
generator that connected with the slack bus, it is displayed as a slack generator as
shown in Figure 38 as follows,
Figure 38. Slack generator.
Moreover, the parameters that used for the slack generator as depicted as in
Figure 39.

Figure 39. Slack generator parameters.
The last generator that connected to the PV bus is illustrated as in Figure 40

as follows,
Figure 40. PV bus generator.

According to the problem, the parameters that used for the PV bus generator
is showned in Figure 41 follows
Figure 41. Generator parameters.
After drawing all the components, the complete electrical network that drawn
by the simulator as shown in Figure 42 as follows
Figure 42. The complete electrical network.

Besides, there is an insert new fields around the transmission lines as shown
in Figure 43 to be able to observe the power parameters easier.
Figure 43. Transmission lines performance.
Similarly, it is also recommended for the bus as in Figure 44.
Figure 44. Bus performance.

2.3. Run the simulation and results
In general, after completing the network circuit, the next step is to run the
simulation, to run the simulation first change the mode from edit mode to run mode
as seen in Figure 6. Consquently, the simulation circuit changed into run mode as in
Figure 45.
Figure 45. Simulation circuit at run mode.
Starting simulation by clicking Tools  Solve  Gauss-Seidel Power Flow

as in Figure 46.
Figure 46. Run simulation by Gauss-Seidel Power Flow.

Figure 47. Simulation results.
Figure 47 depicts the results of the simulation, it can be seen that the Load
bus is receive the power from two source. The slack generator generates 218 MW
and 141 Mvar of power, while the PV bus generator generates 200 MW and 146
Mvar of power.
The power flow at the slack bus tends to flow mainly towards the load when
there is 179.332 MW and 118.747 Mvar of power that flow directly to the load bus,
while there is only 39.028 MW and 22.128 Mvar flow to the PV bus. The power
losses on the transmission line from bus 1-to-bus 2 is 8.392 MW and 16.78 Mvar.
The power flow at the PV bus tends to flow towards the load also. However,
the total distributed power at the moment is the sum of the power that received from
the slack bus and the generated power. This causes a large value of active power
and reactive power flow on the transmission line from bus number 3 to bus number
2. To prove it, there is 238.863 MW and 167.753 Mvar of active power and reactive
power that flow from bus 3 to bus 2. As an effect, there is a voltage drop appears at
the load bus when the voltage drops from 1 p.u down to 0.972 p.u, and the power
losses of the transmission lines is massive as well.
The power losses on the transmission line from bus 1-to-bus 2 is 8.392 MW
and 16.78 Mvar, and the power losses on the transmission line from bus 3-to-bus 2
is 9.846 MW and 19.692 Mvar. Both of the two transmission lines have a huge
amount of power losses due to large value of reactive power on the transmission
lines.

The solutions is, first, connecting a reactor on the transmission lines to
absorbs the reactive power. Second, using the compensation methods, such as,
synchronous generator when the conpensator is in over-excited mode, asynchonous
motor with a synchronized rotor winding and a capacitor. This study uses the
reactive power compensation method by using the capacitor, which is connected
right at the load due to its compensation abilities, simplicity, and low cost.
Figure 48. Simulation results after connecting the compensation.
As can be seen from Figure 48 that, when connecting a reactive power

compensation, the reactive power on the transmission lines reduce rapidly, this
helps to increase the abilities of power transmission on the transmission lines, and at
the same time reduce the power losses on the transmission lines, in addition, the
voltage at the load side is also improved, and no more voltage drop.
The proof is, the power losses on the transmission line from the slack bus to
the load bus is reduce from 8.392 MW down to 5.786 MW of active power and
reduce the reactive power from 16.78 Mvar down to 11.57 Mvar. The power losses
on the transmission line from the PV bus to the load bus is reduce from 9.846 MW
down to 6.495 MW, and from 19.692 Mvar down to 12.989 Mvar of active power
and reactive power, respectively. Moreover, the voltage at the load bus is also
improved from 0.97 p.u up to 1.008 p.u as well.

Chapter 4 Conclusion
CHAPTER 4. CONCLUSION
Through this study about power flow analysis using PowerWorld Simulator,
I have briefly learned about the knowledge related to PowerWorld Simulator,
thereby using the simulator to implements the power flow of the basic electrical
network as well as analyze the problem, run the network simulation and give
comments on the results. Furthermore, proposed solutions for power transmission
improvement, from that reducing the power losses, and also improved the voltage
drops at the ending point of the transmission lines.
However, this study still some limitations. Such as, this is just a basic
electrical network and does not consists all of the electrical components. Because of
the lack of skills in using PowerWorld Simulator, as well as the complexity of 9 or
11 Bus power networks is relatively high.
In order to improve this topic in the future, it is recommended to trains more
skills in using the software, and analyze on a larger electrical network with more
number of buses and electrical components.
