OBJECTIVES OF LOAD FLOW STUDY

1) Power flow analysis is very important in planning stages of new networks or addition to existing ones like adding new generator sites, meeting increase load demand and locating new transmission sites.

2) The load flow solution gives the nodal voltages and phase angles and hence the power injection at all the buses and power flows through interconnecting power channels.

3) It is helpful in determining the best location as well as optimal capacity of proposed generating station, substation and new lines. 4) It determines the voltage of the buses. The voltage level at the certain buses must be kept within the closed tolerances.

5) System transmission loss minimizes.

6) Economic system operation with respect to fuel cost to generate all the power needed

7) The line flows can be known. The line should not be overloaded, it means, we should not operate the close to their stability or thermal limits.
