TERM PROJECT
Consider the IEEE 30 Bus Test System with the data provided at
http://www2.ee.washington.edu/research/pstca/pf30/pg_tca30bus.htm
Solve the following problems. Your report must be uploaded with all of the codes/files
demonstrating your work.
1-a. Choose any method (Gauss-Seidel, Newton-Raphson, decoupled power flow method). Write
your own codes in a computer programming language (including the usage of MATLAB) you prefer to
find the power solution for the test system. Provide the algorithm and the codes you develop.
Calculate the power solution when the real power output of the generator connected to bus no. 2 is
increased by 10%. Include your results and the solution properly.
1-b. Using a software (for power systems) that is available for you, find the power flow solution for
the system studied above. Compare it with your results found in Problem 1-a.
2- In order to make all the bus voltages between 0.95 pu and 1.05 pu, suggest a method and verify it
giving your results.
3-a Given the test system, build the required bus admittance / impedance matrices to analyze threephase symmetrical fault occurring at any bus you choose in the system. Provide the algorithm and
the codes you develop. Calculate the voltages at all buses and the current flows through the lines for
the three-phase fault that you select.
3-b. Using a software (for power systems) that is available for you, compare your results found in
Problem 3-b.
