Investigation of the Usefulness of the PowerWorld Simulator Program Developed by Sarma in Power System Analysis Dr Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

The objective of this project is to investigate the usefulness of the power system simulator PowerWorld program developed by Glover, Overbye and Sarma . The results obtained from the power simulator program were presented for different case studies. The following power system network was used in this study. The system consists from 6 buses. Area 1 includes bus 1-5 while Bus 6 will be part of Area 1 in some case studies, or will form separate area 2 in other case studies for comparison purpose. Note that the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) analysis add-on which determines the maximum MW transfer possible between two parts of a power system without violating any limits, and the voltage adequacy and stability tool (VAST) add-on that can solve multiple power flow solutions in order to generate a PV curve for a particular transfer or a QV curve at a given bus, was not studied here because we don't have yet VAST add-on and the ATC add-on packages.
