Answer/perform the following questions/tasks using PWS when necessary and

following the directives strictly:

1. Create a new case (.pwb) with its associated oneline diagram (.pwd) located in
Dhaka Bangladesh representing the BASE CASE.
2. Fill in the Bus type column included in the buses data table and give it as an
answer to this question. Give also the place where such types can be found in
PWS.
3. Fill in four columns in the transmission lines data table with the values of R and X
in pu and the values of A and B limits in MVA, and give those columns as an
answer to this question.
4. Obtain the IEEE Common Format file associated to your case (BASE_CASE.cf).
Open it as a .txt file, copy the data in Microsoft Word and highlight the column
corresponding to the bus type. Check that the column matches with your answer
to question 2 and explain how you check it. Save the Word file with the highlighted
column as BASE_CASE.doc (or .docx). Enclose BASE_CASE.cf and BASE_CASE.doc
(or .docx) when handing in the project.
5. Include in the BASE CASE oneline diagram your name and last name within a red
rectangle.

Page 2
Exp 9: Power System Analysis by Power World Simulator (PWS) Software

6. Include in the oneline diagram for the BASE CASE the following fields:

Buses:

Bus voltage (pu).

Bus angle (degrees).

Bus name.

Generators:

MW output.

Mvar output.

AVR status.

AGC status.

Loads:

MW.

Mvar.

Lines:

MW flow (in both ends).

7. Send the Y-bus admittance matrix to Excel and save the Excel file with the name
BASE_CASE. All other pieces of data you are asked to send to Excel from now on
must be added to the same Excel file, but in different sheets. Such an Excel file
must be enclosed when handing in the project.
8. Insert the logo of the Stamford University into the BASE CASE oneline diagram.
9. Configure the BASE CASE oneline diagram to view out-of-service elements in
dashed lines.
10. Configure the BASE CASE oneline diagram not to use negative signs for reactive
power flows in transmission lines in any case.
11. Configure the BASE CASE oneline diagram to show the ID field inside generators.

Page 3
Exp 9: Power System Analysis by Power World Simulator (PWS) Software

12. Configure the BASE CASE oneline diagram to show circuit breakers in blue when
they are closed, in orange when they are open.
13. Configure the BASE CASE oneline diagram to show both real and reactive power
flows when animating the solution.
14. Include a total power gauge in the BASE CASE oneline diagram in line 1-2.
15. Configure the gauge and pie charts in the BASE CASE oneline diagram to become
orange for percentages between 85% and 100%.
16. Send the BASE CASE mismatch records for all buses to the previously created Excel
file.
17. At this moment, you should have only one defined Area in your case. Choose
Participation factor AGC for such an area. Leave any other characteristics/options
by default. Make sure that the values of the MW and Mvar initial outputs of all
generators continue to be 0 (set them to 0 otherwise) and that all generators are
in AGC mode. Save your case as BASE_CASE.pwb, and your oneline diagram as
BASE_CASE.pwd. Enclose these two files when handing in the project.
18. Perform one single solution (before performing the solution, make sure that the
value of the MW and Mvar initial outputs of all generators continues to be 0 after
entering run mode, and that all generators are in AGC mode). The system in the
current situation will be called BASE CASE2.
Solution:

Answer to the question no# 02

When real and reactive power are specified in a bus it is called the PQ bus, also called load bus.
Similarly, when real power and voltage level are specified in a bus it is called the PV bus, also
called generator bus. Slack bus is used to balance active and reactive power in the system, it is
also known as reference bus or swing bus. So from above mentioned definition, table I has
been filled.
