(Note: Assignment#1 was on development of [Ybus] program and test on the given system)
1. In the two-bus system shown in figure 1, bus 1 is a slack bus with V1 = 1.0 0o pu. A
voltage dependant load of 200 (0.3.V22+0.2.V2+0.5) MW and 100(0.2.V22+0.2.V2+0.6)
MVar is connected at bus 2. The line impedance is Z12=(0.06 + j0.08) pu on a base of 100
MVA. Write down the load flow equations at bus-2. Using Newton-Raphson method in
rectangular coordinates, obtain the voltage magnitude and phase angle of bus 2
(demonstrate for 2 iterations) Start with an initial estimate of V2(0) = 1.0 pu and 2(0) = 0o.

2. Figure 2 shows the one-line diagram of a simple three-bus power system with generators
at buses 1 and 2. The voltage at bus 1 is 1.0 0o per unit. Voltage magnitude at bus 2 is
fixed at 1.02 pu with a real power generation of 250 MW. A load consisting of 300 MW
and 200 MVar is connected at bus 3. Line admittances are marked in per unit on a 100
MVA base. Line resistances and line charging susceptances are neglected.

(a)

Write down the load flow equations at buses 2 & 3 in polar coordinates.

(b)

Using Newton-Raphson method in polar coordinates, starting with the initial

estimates of V2(0) = 1.0 + j0 and V3(0) = 1.0 + j0, and keeping V2 = 1.00 pu, determine the
phasor values of V2 and V3. Perform two iterations. For the second iteration, take the same
Jacobian as obtained in the first iteration.
3. For problem 2, obtain the power flow solution using the Fast Decoupled Load Flow
(FDLF) algorithm. Perform two iterations.
4. A sample four bus system is described in figure 3. The line and transformer parameters
are indicated on 100 MVA base. Transformer has taps towards bus- 3 and set at 1.1 pu.
a)

Form [Y bus] matrix and write down power flow equations in polar and
rectangular coordinates.

b)

Write the elements of Jacobian used in polar as well as rectangular versions of

Newton Raphson load flow method. (Assume flat voltage start).
