Abstract

Most Nigerian distribution networks are examined on a single-phase basis, which fails to reflect the network's true features. Using three-phase power flow algorithms, this research explores the implications of variations in conductor sizes and spacing on power losses on a Nigerian network. Modified carson's equations were used to model the distribution lines to determine the network's impedance without presuming transposition of the lines. The conductor sizes and spacing were changed to see how they affected network power losses and how they contributed to the distribution network imbalance. The results showed that changing the conductor sizes of certain of the phases increased real power losses by 55.8 and 5.8%, respectively, in phases A and B. Phase C's was reduced by 13.04%. Furthermore, reactive power losses in phases A and B increased by 3.29 and 8.18%, respectively, whereas reactive losses in phase C dropped by 10.32%. Changing the conductor spacing in phases A, B, and C increased real power losses by 825.8, 136.2, and 13.2%, respectively, and reactive power losses by 72.86, 52.30, and 31.89%. Distribution networks should not be evaluated on a single-phase basis since losses differ in each of the three phases. Conductor size and spacing reductions cause huge losses.

Abstract

Single-phase power flow analysis is used to study most distribution networks in Nigeria. The use of single-phase-power flow analysis assumes that the network is balanced and that the conductor phases act identically. However, Nigerian distribution networks are highly imbalanced because of untransposed lines, irregularly distributed loads in conductor phases, mismatched conductor sizes, and spacing. Consequently, single-phase modeling of the networks fails to reflect actual network behavior, resulting in an incorrect power flow solution. This research presents the three-phase modeling of radial distribution networks for a three-phase-power flow study of Nigerian distribution networks. Olusanya's 54-bus and Ajinde's 62-bus distribution networks in Nigeria were evaluated, both of which were very imbalanced. Without making any assumptions about the network components, these two distribution networks were properly modeled. Each network's three-phase power flow study was carried out in the MATLAB environment. The power flow solutions for each network demonstrated unevenness in the voltage profile for each network phase, as well as inequality in the real and reactive power losses in each phase, indicating that the deployed three-phase-power flow analysis properly mirrored the underlying network characteristics. Therefore, applying three-phase power flow analysis to distribution networks is critical for proper assessment of distribution network performance.

Abstract

Improper management of reactive power in a power network could lead to voltage instability. This paper presents a well-detailed study on voltage instability due to violation of power equilibrium in a power network and introduces a new voltage stability pointer (NVSP). The proposed NVSP is developed from a reduced 2-bus interconnected network to predict the sensistivity of voltage stability to reactive power variation. The simulation results from MATLAB were evaluated on IEEE 14-bus test system. The contingency ranking was achieved by varying the reactive power on the load buses to its maximum loading limit. The maximum reactive power point was taken at each load bus and the critical lines were ranked according to their vulnerability to voltage collapse. The results were compared with other notable voltage stability indices. The results prove that the NVSP is an essential tool in predicting voltage collapse.
