1 Introduction
In this computer exercise you will accomplish load flow computations for different operating conditions of
the network example illustrated on the first page. You will examine the interaction of the individual network
components and the connection between the transmission effect and the reactive power and the voltage
magnitudes and angles at the nodes.
The program Powerworld, which you will use for the load flow computation and for the visualization of the
results, is already installed on the computers you will use during the exercise. It can also be downloaded

Load the data for the example network and fill out tables 1 and 2 with the load flow solution for the normal
operation. On high voltage transmission lines the active power flows to the node with the smaller voltage
angle. Examine this, by marking the direction in the picture. Finally, compute the total losses in the system
and describe two ways of calculating them

P losses MW

3 Line Loss
Assume a fault on the line between Bus 5 and Bus 6 (that is, switch this line
off). Simulate the new topology and note down the results of the new load flow
into tables 3 and 4.

Realice un gráfico de barras que permita comparar el estado del sistema en Operación
Normal y con la Pérdida de Línea. Deberá existir un gráfico comparando cada una de las
variables (módulo de la tensión, ángulo de la tensión y potencia reactiva generada). Indique
el aumento o disminución de cada variable en términos porcentuales usando los datos de la
Operación Normal como base.

En el caso donde se desconecta la línea 5-6:

De cuanto fue el aumento del flujo de potencia activa en las líneas 2-5, 2-4 y 3-6 comparado
con el caso de Operación Normal?

Porque el flujo de potencia activa entre las barras 4 y 5 es igual a cero?

Cuál es el valor de las Pérdidas Totales en el sistema? Es mayor o menor al caso de

Operación Normal? Porque?
