Theory: To studying thousands of possible outages becomes very difficult to solve if it is desired
to present the result quickly. One of the easiest ways to provide a quick calculation of possible
overload is to linear sensitivity factor

Example: For a given system data calculate the line outage sensitivity factor for outages of lines
1-2 and 2-3 The following is the data for a six bus System

Bus Voltage Generation Load Bus

No Bus

1 230KV or 1.05p.u 100

2 230KV or 1.05 p.u 0.5 p.u or

Procedure:
Simulation Result:
Case1: Outage Line (1-2)

FlowLine(under study) == Base flowline(Under study) +LODF(under study) * Base Flow(Line under Outage) Normal
State:

Case2: Outage Line (2-3)

Conclusion:
Discussion Questions:

1. What is meant by line outage distribution factor

2. Write down the procedure to calculate the line outage distribution factor in power world
simulator

3. Why to use linear sensitivity factors for contingency selection.
