N-R two iterations, 2-bus system

Short answer

Using polar Newton-Raphson: after two iterations V2 = 0.723∠−7.73° pu. Slack bus supplies P1 = 1.2387 pu, Q1 = 0.8416 pu. Real power loss is 0.2387 pu (23.87 MW) and reactive loss is 0.3416 pu (34.16 MVar).

For the 2-bus power system, bus-1 is slack bus with V1 = 1.0∠0°. A load of 100 MW and 50 MVar is taken from bus-2. The line impedance is 0.12+j0.16 p.u on a base of 100 MVA. Using Newton Raphson load flow technique, determine the following after 2nd iteration. i) Voltage magnitude and phase angle in degree of bus-2. ii) Real and reactive power supplied by slack bus and network losses.

Newton-Raphson (polar form) is applied to the two-bus system; the line has z=0.12+j0.16z = 0.12 + j0.16 pu, and the load of 100 MW + j50 MVAr becomes 1+j0.51 + j0.5 pu on the 100 MVA base.

Bus data and Y-bus

Base 100 MVA. Bus 1: slack, V1=1∠0∘V_1 = 1\angle 0^\circ. Bus 2: load bus with P2=−1.00P_2 = -1.00 pu and Q2=−0.50Q_2 = -0.50 pu (negative, as power is taken out). Unknowns: δ2\delta_2, ∣V2∣|V_2|. Flat start: ∣V2∣(0)=1|V_2|^{(0)} = 1, δ2(0)=0\delta_2^{(0)} = 0.

i) Bus 2 voltage after the 2nd iteration

∣V2∣=0.7227|V_2| = 0.7227 pu, δ2=−7.735∘\delta_2 = -7.735^\circ, i.e. V2=0.7227∠−7.735∘V_2 = 0.7227\angle -7.735^\circ pu.

ii) Slack bus power and network losses

(The loss is found from the line current with the 2nd-iteration voltages. If it is instead taken as S1−SloadS_1 - S_{load}, it gives 0.2408+j0.34390.2408 + j0.3439 pu; the two differ because after two iterations the calculated bus 2 power has not yet reached the specified load (the solution is not fully converged). The converged answer is V2=0.7071∠−8.130∘V_2 = 0.7071\angle -8.130^\circ pu.)

Answer: V2=0.7227∠−7.735∘V_2 = 0.7227\angle -7.735^\circ pu; slack bus supplies P1=124.08P_1 = 124.08 MW and Q1=84.39Q_1 = 84.39 MVAr; losses ≈27.02\approx 27.02 MW and 36.0336.03 MVAr.
