A power company supplies power to a small town that is 10 km away from the nearest substation. The town has a peak load of 1 MW at a power factor of 0.9 lagging, and the voltage at the substation is 11 kV. The power company has decided to use two transformers to step down the voltage: the first transformer steps the voltage down from 11 kV to 1 kV, and the second transformer steps it down further to 440 V for distribution to the town. The first transformer has a rating of 1.5 MVA and a voltage ratio of 11 kV/1 kV, while the second transformer has a rating of 1 MVA and a voltage ratio of 1 kV/440 V. Solve for the equivalent impedance of the distribution line, referred to the primary side of the first transformer. Also, what is the expected voltage drop in the distribution line? Assume that the conductor is made copper and has a resistivity of 2.8 x 10-8 ohm-meter. ,75 cm estim
Load flow analysis
Load flow analysis is a study or numerical calculation of the power flow of power in steady-state conditions in any electrical system. It is used to determine the flow of power (real and reactive), voltage, or current in a system under any load conditions.
Nodal Matrix
The nodal matrix or simply known as admittance matrix, generally in engineering term it is called Y Matrix or Y bus, since it involve matrices so it is also referred as a n into n order matrix that represents a power system with n number of buses. It shows the buses' nodal admittance in a power system. The Y matrix is rather sparse in actual systems with thousands of buses. In the power system the transmission cables connect each bus to only a few other buses. Also the important data that one needs for have a power flow study is the Y Matrix.
Types of Buses
A bus is a type of system of communication that transfers data between the components inside a computer or between two or more computers. With multiple hardware connections, the earlier buses were parallel electrical wires but the term "bus" is now used for any type of physical arrangement which provides the same type of logical functions similar to the parallel electrical bus. Both parallel and bit connections are used by modern buses. They can be wired either electrical parallel or daisy chain topology or are connected by hubs which are switched same as in the case of Universal Serial Bus or USB.
