Reactive power compensation is done by using switch shunt capacitor. This method gives the optimal placement of capacitor to inject reactive power in Mini-grid connected. The used program provides information of voltage at each load connected bus. This method helps in providing injection of reactive power at exact location of load bus. The MatLab program is very user friendly. This method of compensation is seen to be very effective for radial distribution system to make voltage profile flat.

The principal information of load flow analysis is to measure the magnitude and phase angle of voltage at each bus and also to find the reactive power and active power flowing in each of transmission lines. Load flow analysis is an involves numerical analysis and its application to a power system. In this analysis, we use various iterative techniques because there is no known mathematical method for solving the problem. It results in a number of nonlinear set of equations which are called as load flow equations.For this analysis there are various methods of numerical calculations which involvest many steps depending on the size of system. This process is difficult and takes very large time if performed by hand. So developing a toolbox for load flow analysis surely will help the analysis become easier.Load flow analysis software can help users to calculate the load flow problem. They are necessary for planning, operation, economic scheduling and exchange of power between different utilities. The basic information involves in analysis of power flow is to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of voltage at each bus and estimating the flow of real and reactive power through various transmission lines.

Load flow analysis is very useful for stabilityanalysis, future expansion planning and in determining the best economical operation for existing systems.

ABSTRACT: Even though real world analysis is non-linear and uncertain, most of the power system network analyses are the approximation rather than the worst case results. One of the power system network analysis mechanisms which is based on deterministic input is a load flow analysis. Due to the penetration of renewable energy sources and the environmental temperature change, power system network inputs are no longer constant rather varies between upper and lower extremes constantly. The main load flow analysis constants considered to vary with the variation of input are the active and reactive power at the generator and the buses. In order to get a load flow solution for the varying input power a probabilistic load flow analysis based on complex affine arithmetic (CAA) is proposed and tested on standard IEEE 57 bus systems. The result is validated by its mid way conservation of the deterministic load flow analysis result and a probabilistic Monte Carlo approach.

The importance of the problem and the aforementioned difficulties have produced a rich literature. Commonly used analysis model in power system is load flow analysis. The calculation of the load flow in the transmission lines and the transformers is called load flow analysis. It is necessary that not overloading of transmission lines and transformers in power systems, the voltages remain within certain limits for all buses and generator's reactive production to remain within acceptable limits.

S.Ghosh and D.Das [16] 1.58 1.45 1.93 Ranjan and D.Das [19] 1.79 1.63 2.10 VII. C ONCLUSION A new method for load−flow analysis has been proposed in this paper for radial distribution networks that does not need the exhaustive line data preparation for branch number, sending−end node and receiving−end node. For sequential numbering scheme it needs the starting node of feeder, lateral(s) and sub lateral(s) only. Effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested by three examples (29−node, 33−node and 69−node radial distribution networks) with constant power load, constant current load, constant impedance load, composite load and exponential load for each of these examples where the voltage convergence has assured the satisfactory convergence in every case. The proposed method can handle arbitrary numbering scheme also. The superiority of the proposed method in terms of speed has been checked by comparing with the other methods proposed by Das et al. [15], Ghosh et al. [16] and Ranjan et al.

Load flow studies are limited to the transmission system, which involves bulk power transmission. Load flow studies are important in planning and designing future expansion of power systems. The study gives steady state solutions of the voltages at all the buses, for a particular load condition. Different steady state solutions can be obtained, for different operating conditions, to help in planning, designing and operation economic scheduling and exchange of power between utilities. Load flow analysis is to find the magnitude and phase angle of voltage at each bus and real and reactive power in each transmission line. The load flow problem consists of finding the power flows (real and reactive) and voltages of a network for given bus conditions. Because of the non linearity of the algebraic equations, describing the given power system, their solutions are obviously, based on the iterative methods only.

Besides giving real and reactive power the load flow study provides information about line and transformer loading through Out the system and voltage at different point in the system for evaluation and regulation of the performance of the power systems. Growing demand of the power and complexity of the power system network, power system study is a signification tool for a power system operation in order to advent of digital computers, load flow solutions were obtained using network analysers load flow analysis used in different method [1]. Every method has got advantages as well as dis advantages. The objective of this papers is to develop an MATLAB Simulink model to perform load flow analysis for IEEE 30 bus system. In this bus system provided data form generation bus, shunt capacitor, transmission line, load on bus. But MATLAB Simulink model calculated data for series admittance (conductance and susceptance), value of inductor and capacitor.

Given these valuable traits of OpenMDAO, the calculations needed for a hybrid AC-DC load flow capa- bility were implemented within the framework and will be described in the subsequent sections. While load flow analysis is typically only applied the AC systems, a hybrid AC-DC load flow method 11 was identified that enabled creation a system to capture both types of electrical systems. From this publication, a set of 10 objects which would be needed to model almost any electrical system were identified. These objects include AC and DC versions of the bus, line, generator, and load. In addition, components modeling an inverter and a rectifier are required to convert between the two different voltage sources. The sections below describe the AC versions of the bus, line, generator and load components as well as the converter which were developed in this research. The DC components are not described but are identical to their AC equivalents with the exception of the imaginary terms and phase angles in the equations. This separation of AC and DC components was made to maintain clarity in the use of these components and to simplify the computation of analytic derivatives in each of the developed components. In addition to the equations presented in each of the sections below, analytic expressions for partial derivatives of each output with respect to the each input were determined by symbolically differentiation and included in the code. These partial derivatives are key to enabling the rapid solution of the load flow problem as well as for multidisciplinary optimization around a load flow model.

5. Stochastic Search Techniques 5.1. General Principles Recent developments in load flow analysis have moved attention away from the iterative methods and towards so-called stochastic search methods. Two such methods – Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing – are described here and are implemented in the Excel Workbook. Both approaches use a series of trial solutions to the problem and develop better solutions in the light of experience gained from these trials. The computational effort for each trial is kept as low as possible, so a very large number of trials can be conducted.

Assistant Professor in ECE dept at Scient Engineering College ,Nadurgul, Hyderabad ,Telangana, India Abstract: This paper presents the modeling of shunt Distribution FACT device in load flow analysis for the steady state voltage compensation and loss minimizations. For this purpose, Distribution STATCOM (D-STATCOM) is considered as shunt compensator. An accurate model for this device is derived to use in load flow analysis. The rating of this device as well as direction of reactive power injection required to compensate voltage to the desired value (1 p.u) are derived and discussed analytically and mathematically using phasor diagrams. Since performance of D-STATCOM varies when it reach to the maximum capacity, modeling of this compensator in the maximum rating of reactive power injection are derived and discussed. The validity of proposed model for fixed compensation and compensation for fixed voltage is examined using MATLAB coding for two IEEE standard distribution systems consisting of 33 and 69 nodes respectively. The best location of D-STATCOM using Rate of under Voltage Mitigation node (RUVMN) in the distribution network is determined.

Electrical loads of a system can be advised to contain different private, mechanical and metropolitan burdens.[1] For all intents and purposes the dynamic and receptive forces of heaps of an appropriation system are reliant on system voltage and recurrence varieties.

This proposed model for D-STATCOM is applied to load flow calculations in IEEE 33 and 69 bus test systems. Moreover, the optimal placements of D- STATCOM for under voltage problem mitigation approach in the test systems are derived by using RUVMN.

operation, fossil fuel emissions 3.1 IMPORTANCE OF LOAD MODELLING : The choices regarding system reinforcements and system performance is mostly based on the results of power flow and stability simulation studies. For performing analysis of power system, models must be integrated to include all relevant system components, such as generating stations, sub stations, transmission and distribution peripherals and load devices. Much attention has been given to modelling of generation and transmission or distribution devices. But the modelling of loads have received much less attention and remains to be an unexplored frontier and carries much scope for future development. Recent studies have revealed that representation and modelling of load can have a great impact on analysis results. Efforts in the directions of improving load-models have been given prime importance.
