For load flow studies, what are the quantities specified at load bus?

For load flow studies, what are the quantities specified at load bus? Correct Answer P and Q

Explanation:

A bus in a power system is a line at which the several components of the power system like generators, loads, and feeders, etc., are connected.

The buses in a power system are associated with four quantities, these quantities are the following:

  • The magnitude of the voltage
  • Phase angle
  • Active power
  • Reactive power
     

In the load flow studies, two variable are known, and the other two is to determined.

Depends on the quantity to be specified the buses are classified into three categories as follow:

Generation Bus  or Voltage Control Bus:

  • This bus is also called the P-V bus.
  • on this bus, the voltage magnitude corresponding to generate voltage and true or active power P corresponding to its rating are specified.
  • Voltage magnitude is maintained constant at a specified value by injection of reactive power.
  • The reactive power generation (Q) and phase angle (δ) of the voltage is to be computed.
     

Load Bus:

  • This is also called the P-Q bus
  • at this bus, the active and reactive power is injected into the network.
  • The magnitude and phase angle of the voltage is to be computed.
  • Here the active power P and reactive power Q are specified, and the load bus voltage can be permitted within a tolerable value, i.e., 5 %.
  • The phase angle of the voltage, i.e.δ is not very important for the load.
     

Slack, Swing, or Reference Bus:

  • Slack bus in a power system absorbs or emits active or reactive power from the power system.
  • The slack bus does not carry any load.
  • At this bus, the magnitude and phase angle of the voltage is specified.
  • The phase angle of the voltage is usually set equal to zero.

Related Questions

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. If the bus is travelling from Surat to Ahmadabad and a car is travelling from Ahmadabad to Surat, then what is the distance between Surat and Ahmadabad? I. The speed of a car is 40% less than the speed of bus. Bus started at 9 am and car started at 10 am and they meet at 3 pm of the same day. II. After travelling for 1 hour, because of traffic average speed of bus is decreased by 20% and covers distance between Surat to Ahmadabad in 11 hours. Original speed of car is 20% less than original speed of bus and before crossing bus it covered 200 km if starts 1 hour later than bus. After crossing car, bus covers remaining distance in 5 hours. III. Speed of bus is 10 km/hr more than the speed of car and before crossing car ratio of distances covered bus and car in same time was 5 : 4. Time taken by car to cover the distance between Ahmadabad and Surat is 2 hours 15 minutes more than time taken by bus to cover the same distance.
