Power system modeling, simulation and analysis

Abstract

Abstract:Power system studies and analysis are performed for a variety of reasons. One of themis to ascertain whether the designed power system is stable for operation. Many researchand calculations for this purpose need to be carried by the electrical engineer. Currentlyavailable software can be used to perform various calculations and studies besidesproviding a means to simulate the model power system using a minimal amount of time.Power system simulation is used to simulate the model of power system usingappropriate software that is commonly used in the industrial process and power plant. Itcovers the development and application of methods for system analysis, simulation, andcontrol of integrated electric energy system. It also includes modeling of generation,transmission, distribution systems in addition the operation and planning of electricpower system. The present paper investigates the current issues and challenges in powersystem modeling and simulation. The most important is the case of a newly built powersystem network which has been designed and modeled. The power system analysisfunctions include load flow, fault analysis, short circuit tests, protection andcoordination.
