G-S first iteration with line charging

Short answer

Y‑bus: diagonal 4.0701 − j17.1798 pu, off‑diagonal −2.0351 + j8.6099 pu. Generator reactive power Q2 = 0.2236 pu. V2 = 1.0300∠2.76° pu, V3 = 0.9891∠−2.05° pu. Total real power loss = 0.0290 pu.

A 3-bus power system is shown in figure. The series impedance and shunt admittance of each line are 0.026+j0.11 pu and j0.04 pu respectively. The bus specification, power and bus voltage are as under. (PG, QG, PL, QL and bus voltages are in pu). [Figure: three buses with lines 1-2, 1-3 and 2-3]

i) Form YBUS ii) Generator reactive power at bus 2 using Gauss-Seidel method (up to first iteration) iii) Voltage at bus 2 and 3 using Gauss-Seidel method (up to first iteration) iv) Total network real power loss (after first iteration)

Bus 1 is the slack bus, bus 2 a PV bus and bus 3 a PQ bus. The line shunt admittance j0.04 pu is taken as the total line-charging admittance of each line, so j0.02j0.02 pu is placed at each end (nominal-π model). Gauss-Seidel is used with no acceleration factor.

Net injections: P2=1.5−0.5=1.0P_2 = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1.0 pu; P3=−1.2P_3 = -1.2 pu, Q3=−0.5Q_3 = -0.5 pu. Initial values: V2(0)=1.03∠0∘V_2^{(0)} = 1.03\angle 0^\circ, V3(0)=1∠0∘V_3^{(0)} = 1\angle 0^\circ.

ii) Generator reactive power at bus 2 (first iteration)

No Q-limits are given, so bus 2 remains a PV bus.

iii) Voltages at buses 2 and 3 (first iteration)

So V2(1)=1.0300∠2.7554∘V_2^{(1)} = 1.0300\angle 2.7554^\circ pu and V3(1)=0.9891∠−2.0473∘V_3^{(1)} = 0.9891\angle -2.0473^\circ pu.

iv) Total network real power loss (after first iteration)

Slack bus power with the first-iteration voltages:

P1−jQ1=V1∗∑kY1kVk=(1.0300)(−0.0351−j0.3556)=−0.0362−j0.3662⇒P1=−0.0362 pu,Q1=0.3662 puPG1=P1+PL1=−0.0362+1.00=0.9638 puQG1=Q1+QL1=0.3662+0.50=0.8662 pu\begin{aligned} P_1 - jQ_1 &= V_1^{*}\textstyle\sum_k Y_{1k}V_k = (1.0300)(-0.0351 - j0.3556) \\ &= -0.0362 - j0.3662 \\ \Rightarrow P_1 &= -0.0362\ \text{pu},\quad Q_1 = 0.3662\ \text{pu} \\ P_{G1} &= P_1 + P_{L1} = -0.0362 + 1.00 = 0.9638\ \text{pu} \\ Q_{G1} &= Q_1 + Q_{L1} = 0.3662 + 0.50 = 0.8662\ \text{pu} \end{aligned}

Total loss = sum of the calculated net injections at all buses (equal to the sum of all line losses):

BusPiP_i (pu)QiQ_i (pu)
1-0.03620.3662
21.26900.0843
3-1.2038-0.4518
Sum0.0290-0.0013
Ploss=∑Pi=0.0290 puQloss=∑Qi=−0.0013 pu\begin{aligned} P_{loss} &= \textstyle\sum P_i = 0.0290\ \text{pu} \\ Q_{loss} &= \textstyle\sum Q_i = -0.0013\ \text{pu} \end{aligned}

Answer: QG2=0.2236Q_{G2} = 0.2236 pu, V2=1.0300∠2.7554∘V_2 = 1.0300\angle 2.7554^\circ pu, V3=0.9891∠−2.0473∘V_3 = 0.9891\angle -2.0473^\circ pu, total real power loss =0.0290= 0.0290 pu (about 2.90 MW on a 100 MVA base).
