Abstract–As a multi-nodal and looped network, the
power system must be planned and constructed
utilising various factors such as current and voltage.
Because we don't have current values, we use power
values, hence the name power flow analysis. Power
flow analysis has poly nonlinear equations that can
only be solved by iterative methods like Newton-
Rapson, Gauss Seidal, and Fast Decoupling. In this
experiment, we'll use a programme named
POWERWORLD SIMULATOR to run and monitor
the power load flow.
1. INTRODUCTION
Objectives:
Perform load flow analysis using Newton-Rapson,
Gauss Seidel and Fast Decoupling method using data
provided below.
1) Add buses first and add the voltage provided in first
table.
2) Add generators at busses. Moreover, add details as
provided in tables. Make sure to keep bus voltage of
bus and generator same.
3) Add transmission lines and also add parameters
specified.
4) Add bus fields on all buses having voltage and
degree on it.
5) Add MW flow, MVAR flow on end of transmission
lines and in between add MW and MVAR losses.
6) Go into run mode and clear previous settings and
run different modes.
2. RESULTS
In this lab, we first created our circuit using the six
steps above and set the field values based on the given
data, then we increased the number of iterations to 50,
and finally we ran and solved our circuit using the
Newton-Rapson, Gauss Seidal, and Fast Decoupling
methods, observing the values and power flow in our
circuit. The result is as follows:

Follow the steps and design circuit as shown in figure

below.

 4. CONCLUSION
Although Power World Simulator is not designed for
industrial simulation, it is extremely helpful in
studying and learning about power systems and
phenomena. The circuit can be solved using a variety
of ways, which can be chosen based on one's
requirements. Another advantage is that, in
comparison to other programming-based tools, simple
blocks are accessible for circuit creation, reducing
programming and syntactic difficulties.

3. DISCUSSION
This experiment taught us that software can
substantially aid in simplifying a power
system and displaying power flow in various
parts of it. The programme ran 50 rounds of
the Gauss-Siedel technique on the circuit we
modelled, which is a time-consuming task
when done manually. In the circuit we
modelled, Bus 1 was classified as the slack
bus, which meant it would supply the greatest
power. One bus must be considered a slack
bus in most power systems since it is the most
stable and serves as a reference for other
buses.
