PESTC: Power System Load Flow Analysis (EEP204) This unit recognises that load flow analysis forms the basis of other power system analysis studies. Load flow analysis is the basic tool for power system analysis in the power industry and serves to give an understanding of power system performance. Knowledge of power system performance is essential before more advanced power system analysis study is carried out. This unit is approximately 50% theory and 50% worked examples such that the worked examples build on and explain the theory of modelling and load flow analysis. The presentation of the unit material is interactive and as a result, the referred teaching approach for this module is one that has the participants actively involved in the discussions that result from the presentations and example problems or calculations. Evolve with QUTeX By attending this unit, you will gain what new knowledge and skills in the area of power system load flow analysis. This unit uses a discursive and case study approach via intensive face-to-face delivery of core content with worked examples and exercises where you will be actively involved in the discussions. This approach sets the foundation for collaborative discussion and ongoing interaction with peers and university/industry experts and real- world assessments. In this way, the unit has a balance of theory and practical worked examples in a shared learning environment. Who should participate? This unit is aimed at Engineers working in the Power sector to advance their understanding of current practices used in power system load flow analysis. To undertake this unit, you should have a good grasp of electrical technology and the level of design computation needed, and a working knowledge of power system engineering Core concepts At course completion participants should be able to: • Set up and run a load flow program. • Ensure convergence. • Examine the results for evidence of numerical instabilities, and inaccuracies. • Model system elements. • Manipulate the PSS SINCAL load flow application. • Analyse system adequacy in a simple distribution system using the SINCAL load flow application. • Understand what a load flow does — focusing on the input data and an understanding of branch characteristics and modelling related to Transmission System Studies. • Understand output data — focusing on load flow solutions related to Transmission System studies. • Understand Transmission Capacity — real and reactive power flow. • Run a load flow and analyse the solutions evident in a number of transmission case studies — carrying out contingency analysis to investigate the change in reactive power flow and reactive power requirements for the network. • Carry out a planning study and recommend a reinforcement strategy for the network in a formal written report. Your expert facilitators Yateendra Mishra & Benson Heng Yateendra’s research interests include: Energy Storage Systems (ESS), smart grid and plug in electric vehicles, power system planning - transmission and generation interconnection, load modelling and modelling of wind generators (DFIG.
