N-R two iterations, y12 = 10∠−73.74°

Short answer

Polar Newton-Raphson yields after two iterations V2 = 0.889∠−8.39° pu. Slack power is 1.5833 + j0.7965 pu. Network real power loss is 0.0833 pu (8.33 MW) and reactive loss is 0.2965 pu (29.65 MVar).

In the power system network shown in figure below, bus 1 is slack bus with V1 = 1.0∠0° pu and bus 2 is a load bus with S2 = 150 MW + j50 MVAR. The line admittance is y12 = 10∠−73.74° pu on a base of 100 MVA. Perform two iterations of Newton Raphson load flow method to obtain the following: i) Voltage magnitude and phase angle of bus 2 ii) Real and reactive power supplied by slack bus and network losses [Figure: bus 1 generator V1 = 1.0∠0°, line Y12 = 2.8 − j9.6, bus 2 load 150 MW, 50 MVAR]

Newton-Raphson (polar form) is applied to the two-bus system. The line admittance is y12=10∠−73.74∘=2.8−j9.6y_{12} = 10\angle -73.74^\circ = 2.8 - j9.6 pu, and the load 150 MW + j50 MVAr is 1.5+j0.51.5 + 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=−1.50P_2 = -1.50 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∣=0.8886|V_2| = 0.8886 pu, δ2=−8.389∘\delta_2 = -8.389^\circ, i.e. V2=0.8886∠−8.389∘V_2 = 0.8886\angle -8.389^\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 0.0830+j0.29760.0830 + j0.2976 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=0.8879∠−8.420∘V_2 = 0.8879\angle -8.420^\circ pu.)

Answer: V2=0.8886∠−8.389∘V_2 = 0.8886\angle -8.389^\circ pu; slack bus supplies P1=158.30P_1 = 158.30 MW and Q1=79.76Q_1 = 79.76 MVAr; losses ≈8.80\approx 8.80 MW and 30.1630.16 MVAr.
