 INTRODUCTION

Load flow analysis is a method of analysis used in power systems that one can use to

determine the amount of current and voltage a certain bus of the power system consumes per

given load.

flow analysis and Short circuit analysis

Short circuit analysis determines the amount of the fault current that will flow in a given

fault bus. Load flow and Short Circuit Analysis are a critical to any type of power system of a

certain institution. Institutions such as the Central Philippine University have a simple power

system that has two feeders providing the power for the institution. In this case study however,

the feeder two is chosen by the group of students to be subject to the study. The study aims to

determine any flaws in the feeder two of the school and apply any appropriate measures to

counter these flaws.

 BACKGROUND

Central Philippine University such as any institution is subject to occasional and

accidental power losses which has a grave impact upon its power budget and then therefore

would affect the overall financial stability of the institution. Frequent blackouts may be from

voltage instabilities (che2x pagid)

EVALUATION & PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

The situation in the feeder two and the overall power system needs an electrical

assessment which may need actual and theoretical readings of the loads present in the feeder.

The loads will be then be subject to load flow and short circuit analysis, in order to determine

what may be the flow that is present in the system and be able to determine the maximum fault

current present in the fault.

The theoretical aspect of the feeder two is determined by the surveying of the team

building by building and determining the max loadings present in each building and ultimately

determining the maximum load present in a certain node of the feeder.

The actual aspect of the feeder system is determined by utilizing the power logger on

each of the main nodes present in the feeder system. The power logger will determine the

average voltage, current, power, and other important electrical parameters needed for the

power system analysis.

Based on the results of the power logging and surveying the approximate loads of the Feeder

two system is shown below utilizing the ETAP software for the circuit calculations
