Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of load flow for the test system 5-Bus system to test the conveniences of the software. Then, the practical and efficient software selected to implemented load flow for IEEE 14-bus distribution network and load profiles. Load flow is an essential tool for resolving the power system planning issue. It aims to determine if the system can run safely, i.e., whether there are any equipment overloads or node voltages are too low or too high. The losses in individual components, as well as the overall network, are often estimated. The system is frequently examined for component overloads and voltages outside of permitted limits. The iterative method used in this project is Newton Raphson method to help an efficient analysis because of fast convergence speed. For fault analysis, ETAP short circuit analysis software was used to analyse line-to-ground and three-phase fault currents. 5-bus and 14-bus system only needs three iterations with zero mismatches in solving the load flow problem. The fault between 3 busses has been evaluated in IEEE 14 bus. The load profile for the system had been identified by using the load profile for commercial load with its percentage of the daily load. Finding from this study are important to improve future load flow analysis on distribution network system.
