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 condition…
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 sho…
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 …

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

The equivalent value of all the loads connected to a system is said to be calculated load. The power rating of loads differs for different applications. It is also defined as the estimated load for the nominal values.

According to article NEC 220, the calculations for branch circuit, feeder, and service load are made. When all the loads are considered with the proper multipliers, the calculated load is the final result that provides guidance to calculate various types of load. To calculate the loads, both the optimal and standard methods are provided.

Conclusion:

Thus, the meaning of calculated load is explained.

A 4-cell reuse cellular system is being rolled out into an operation area and you are the engineer taking charge of this project. The subscriber density for the operation area is 600 people per km2. The average traffic load generated per subscriber is 0.2 Er. You are required to deploy 8 clusters of cells in the operation area and provide a Grade of Service of 0.5% to the subscribers using the blocked calls cleared model. You found out that the total number of trunk channels available to the system is 140. Assuming that fixed channel assignment is used, compute: a) The traffic load that can be offered to the operation area. b) The size of the operation area (in km2) that can be supported by the system. c) The proposed cell area and radius, based on the operation area determined in part (b).   Having successfully implemented the first system above, you are now tasked to implement another system. The requirement is that, this second system must have a cluster size of 7 and provides a…
