Voltage Instability Analysis Using Mipower

Load Flow Analysis helps in error free operation of power system and also useful in forecasting the required equipment for expansion of the system. By forecasting the magnitude of the supply required along with effects caused by single or multiple defects in the system and calculating the magnitude of errors, it is very easy to compensate them using various techniques with minimum cost and effort. It means before installation the favorable sites and size of the infrastructure used are determined to maintain the power factor in the system. Here Power Flow Analysis is performed using Newton Raphson method. This method is used in solving power flow studies of various number of busesunder various conditions. In any network there will be undesired rise or drop or dissipation of voltage. Voltage instability decreases the efficiency of the system and also damages the equipment used. Hence voltage instability analysis is performed and magnitude of the instability is calculated and compensated using various techniques. Here we performed Load Flow Analysis on a 5bus system and Voltage Instability Analysis is also performed to the same with necessary outputs.[7]
