N-R single iteration with Q limit

Short answer

Form Y-bus (series j0.08 pu). At flat start, P2=P3=0, Q2=0.51 pu (within limits), mismatches ΔP2=0.5, ΔP3=−1.5, ΔQ3=−0.35. Solving Jacobian yields V2 = 1.02∠−0.774° pu, V3 = 0.9859∠−3.79° pu after one iteration.

Consider a three bus system of figure, each of the three lines has a series impedance of (0+j0.08) pu. The specified quantities at the buses are tabulated below. Perform single iteration of load flow using N-R method. (Note: Reactive power limit is 0 ≤ QG2 ≤ 1.5 pu)

Bus 1 is the slack bus (1∠0∘1\angle 0^\circ), bus 2 a PV bus (P2=0.5P_2 = 0.5 pu, ∣V2∣=1.02|V_2| = 1.02 pu, 0≤QG2≤1.50 \le Q_{G2} \le 1.5 pu) and bus 3 a PQ bus (P3=−1.5P_3 = -1.5, Q3=−0.6Q_3 = -0.6 pu). Flat start: V20=1.02∠0∘V_2^{0} = 1.02\angle 0^\circ, V30=1∠0∘V_3^{0} = 1\angle 0^\circ.

Y-bus

Each line: y=1/(j0.08)=−j12.5y = 1/(j0.08) = -j12.5 pu. Each bus has two lines:

Ybus=[−j25.0000j12.5000j12.5000j12.5000−j25.0000j12.5000j12.5000j12.5000−j25.0000] puY_{bus} = \begin{bmatrix} -j25.0000 & j12.5000 & j12.5000 \\ j12.5000 & -j25.0000 & j12.5000 \\ j12.5000 & j12.5000 & -j25.0000 \end{bmatrix}\ \text{pu}

i.e. ∣Yii∣=25|Y_{ii}| = 25, θii=−90∘\theta_{ii} = -90^\circ; ∣Yij∣=12.5|Y_{ij}| = 12.5, θij=90∘\theta_{ij} = 90^\circ.

Calculated powers and Q-limit check

With Yij=∣Yij∣∠θijY_{ij} = |Y_{ij}|\angle\theta_{ij}, Vi=∣Vi∣∠δiV_i = |V_i|\angle\delta_i and ϕij=θij−δi+δj\phi_{ij} = \theta_{ij} - \delta_i + \delta_j:

At the flat start:

P20=0.0000,Q20=0.5100P30=0.0000,Q30=−0.2500\begin{aligned} P_2^{0} &= 0.0000, \quad Q_2^{0} = 0.5100 \\ P_3^{0} &= 0.0000, \quad Q_3^{0} = -0.2500 \end{aligned}

QG2=Q20=0.5100Q_{G2} = Q_2^{0} = 0.5100 pu lies within 00 to 1.51.5 pu, so bus 2 stays a PV bus.

So V21=1.0200∠−0.774∘V_2^{1} = 1.0200\angle -0.774^\circ pu and V31=0.9859∠−3.794∘V_3^{1} = 0.9859\angle -3.794^\circ pu.

Q-limit check with the new voltages:

Q21=−Im{V2∗∑kY2kVk}=0.7089 puQG2=Q2+QL2=0.7089 pu\begin{aligned} Q_2^{1} &= -\text{Im}\{V_2^{*}\textstyle\sum_k Y_{2k}V_k\} = 0.7089\ \text{pu} \\ Q_{G2} &= Q_2 + Q_{L2} = 0.7089\ \text{pu} \end{aligned}

This is still within 0 to 1.5 pu, so bus 2 remains a PV bus.
