Load Flow Analysis Methods in Electric Power Systems and Comparison of Analysis Results by Using Developed Program

Mehmet CINAR ^[2]

Abstract: In recent years, the need for electrical energy has increased in parallel with the technological developments, while the fact that raw energy resources cannot be activated at the same rate has made it necessary to make the most of the energy resources in the circuit. In order to ensure that consumers are distributed in different regions with power plants and to ensure optimum operating efficiency in energy systems, interconnected networks are formed by connecting different power systems. Nowadays, electrical energy exchanges between some countries have caused interconnection networks of these countries to be connected to each other. Thus, the problems that arise during the planning and operation of the growing networks in terms of the qualities and dimensions of the electrical engineers are increasingly complex and require the use of computers. Nowadays, in the analysis of large-scale networks, a lot of time and excessive memory requirement problems are encountered. To this end, new methods are being introduced in the formulation of networks to provide some convenience in computer calculations, and studies on this subject are still intense. In this study, load flow analysis was performed by using the program developed in MATLAB environment. Newton Rapson and Gauss Seidel methods were used in the analysis and the results for the same busbar systems were compared.
