Abstract
The system being developed is a power system module that will calculate load flow processes and outputting results for better understanding of the grid being analyzed. A dedicated multiprocessors system is developed to suit the purpose. The multiprocessors will utilize low-cost and readily available processors. At the moment, there are only three (3), computers will be connected as a multiprocessors system. Beowulf Linux clustering is implemented to create a 'supercomputer' like environment of the multiprocessor system. Through Linux stable operating system environment, the program would simulate the network using Newton-Raphson iterations to produce results. Fast solutions are enabled using parallel programming and load balancing technique among the multiprocessors system. User-friendly interface is created for easy access and easy interaction with the program and data input. Any trained personnel can monitor the system using the wide 21" screen that will also display the status of other processors currently working.
