An improved method for load flow studies of large power systems

In this paper the load flow analysis of a power system is treated as a circuit analysis problem by converting all generators and loads into equivalent current sources. This representation gives rise to much convenience in tearing the system and analysing it by parts. This procedure facilitates the solution of a large power system on a small size computer. The nodal admittance method adopted here for network solution is shown to have better convergence. Other simulation techniques tried for the loads and generator representation using the mesh method of analysis are also given.
