Power systems analysis toolbox: planning and contingency

Abstract

Outages and planning primarily account for the removal and addition of new buses, generating power plants, transmission lines, loads, and control devices, respectively. They occur regularly in power systems operation and restoration, and hence a power system is constantly changing its topology. Therefore, there is a need for a software package to emulate these changes. Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) is designed and developed in Matlab environment to simulate contingencies and expansion of power systems. The IEEE 14-bus power system is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed work.
