ELEC4310 Power System Analysis Assignment 2
Load Flow Analysis
Submission due date: 4 pm Thursday 17th April 2025
P1 - Base Case Build and Study (35 Marks)
Build a typical 13-bus power system (Figure 1) in PSS/E and save it as “P1.sav” and “P1.sld”. System
components should be positioned in the manner shown in Figure 1.
The 13-bus system has two voltage levels (66 and 138kV). Use two different colors for the bus and
branches to differentiate.
Some input data for this power system is provided in “Transmission Network Data” section.
Based on the system you have built:
1) Use the provided Python script “RetrieveYbus.py” to obtain Y-bus of the system and export it in
a .CSV file (name it “YMatrix.csv”). Include the Y-bus matrix in your report. To know details
about the functions in “RetrieveYbus.py”, read Python API document.
2) Use Full Newton-Raphson method to conduct power flow study. Show the voltages at all buses
in PSSE and include a screenshot in your report.
3) Create a new Python script “P1.py” that opens the file “P1.sav” you have built in PSSE, solves
power flow by Newton-Raphson method and retrieve bus voltages on command window.
Include screenshots of Python script and command window output in your report.
Note: It is required to implement the python script in Python 2.7 (32 bit)
P2 Compensation (35 Marks)
1) Identify the bus no. with lowest voltage in the base case. Conduct Q-V analysis on the identified
bus. Take screenshot of Q-V curve and include it in your report.
2) Name one method to increase the voltage magnitude at the lowest voltage bus identified in P2(1)
to 1.0 p.u. Verify this method and provide justification in your report.
3) Obtain a new Y-bus by modifying the provided “RetrieveYbus.py” and conduct Q-V analysis again.
Compare with results of P2(1) and discuss briefly.
4) Add renewable generation (wind or photovoltaics) at the lowest voltage bus and save the new case
and diagram file as “P2.sav” and “P2.sld”. You can do so by adding a load component in PSSE and
setting negative MW and Mvar values to mimic renewable generators. Briefly discuss the impact of
adding one of the following extra renewable generations, once at a time.
a) A wind generator producing (30+2X) MW at power factor 0.9 lagging.
b) A PV generation of (30+2X) MW at unity power factor. Model the PV as a distributed load.
Note: “X” stands for the last digit of your 8-digit student number. If the last digit of your 8-digit student
number is 0, then X is 10.
P3 Contingency Analysis (30 Marks)
An event that happens unplanned/unexpected is considered as a contingency. For example, the
loss/failure of an electric asset or multiple assets (such as an outage of a transmission line or
transformer). Such an event may cause detrimental consequences. Performing contingency analysis is
therefore important to investigate potential outcomes of outage in existing power systems.
Apply one of the following contingency scenarios at a time, to the base case system in P1, and conduct
contingency analysis by: (a) describing whether the system operates normally under this specific
contingency condition; (b) including excel bar graphs of system voltage profile at all buses (compared
with base case voltage profile), followed with brief discussion.
(1) Contingency scenario 1: Generator at bus 11 is out of service.
(2) Contingency scenario 2: Transmission line between bus 3 and 4 is out of service.
(3) Contingency scenario 3: All real power of loads throughout the system increases by 25%
without any change in generations.
