This chapter provides some insights into the dynamic simulation programs and typical model parameters so that a reader can become a more proficient user. It then discusses the Power System Toolbox (PST), a MATLAB‐based power system simulation software, which is fairly straightforward to learn and use. Power flow computation is the determination of the steady‐state flow of power from the generators to the loads. The chapter covers the power flow data requirements, provides brief descriptions of the algorithms, and illustrates with an example. A power flow formulation requires generation and load as the bus data, and the power network connections as the branch data. A general purpose simulation program provides a large variety of dynamic models to choose from. These models are standardized so that equipment manufacturers can provide dynamic data for performance verification in simulation programs. |
