Abstract

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının hızlı gelişimi, dağıtık üretim tesislerinin entegrasyonu ve dijitalleşmedeki ilerlemeler dünya genelindeki güç sistemlerinde karmaşık bir değişime neden olmaktadır. Güç sistemlerinin karmaşıklığı hem lisans hem de lisansüstü öğrencilerinin güç sistemleri ile ilgili çalışmalarını sıkıcı, zor ve zaman alıcı hale getirmektedir. Bununla birlikte, simülasyon araçlarının kullanılması, güç sistemleri çalışmalarıyla ilgili hesaplama işlemlerini büyük ölçüde basitleştirmiştir. Yalnızca güç sisteminin mevcut çalışma koşulları altında çalışmasını değil, aynı zamanda gelecekteki genişlemelerin planını ve tasarımını da değerlendirmek için güç akışı çalışmaları giderek daha gerekli hale gelmektedir. Bu makale, öğrencilerin güç sistemlerindeki karmaşık olayları daha iyi anlamalarına yardımcı olmak için gelişmiş görselleştirme teknikleri kullanan PowerWorld Simülatör ile güç akışı analizinin bir incelemesini sunmaktadır. Bu amaçla, Stevenson’ın 5 baralı güç sisteminin güç akışı analizi Newton-Raphson, Gauss-Seidel ve Hızlı Ayrık metotları ile incelenmiştir. Simülasyon sonuçları hem görsel olarak hem de tablo olarak verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, PowerWorld Simülatör ile öğrencilerin geleneksel çözümlere ek olarak güç sistemi analiz problemlerini daha iyi anlayacağı görülmüştür.

Use of PowerWorld Simulator in Learning Power Flow Analysis: A Computer-Aided Visualization Tool

Abstract

The rapid development of renewable energy sources, the integration of distributed generation facilities, and advances in digitalization are causing a complex transformation in power systems around the world. The complexity of power systems makes power systems studies tedious, difficult and time-consuming for both undergraduate and graduate students. However, the use of simulation tools has greatly simplified the computational operations associated with power systems studies. Power flow studies are becoming increasingly necessary to evaluate not only the operation of the power system under current operating conditions but also the plan and design of future expansions. This paper provides a review of power flow analysis with PowerWorld Simulator, which uses advanced visualization techniques to assist students in better understanding complex phenomena in power systems. For this purpose, power flow analysis of Stevenson’s 5 bus power system was investigated by Newton-Raphson, Gauss-Seidel and Fast Decoupled methods. The simulation results are given both visually and as a table. As a result, it has been seen that with PowerWorld Simulator, students will better understand power system analysis problems in addition to traditional solutions.
