A load flow analysis method for Kufa cement plant

Abstract EN

The energy needs have been enlarged extremely.

The electricity powergenerators are utilized and distributed in the national (local) grid.

Manyfactors can affect on national distribution grid stability, such as load flow.

It is utilized to evaluate various operating states for energy generation anddistribution systems.

In this article, six different generators are distributedin Kufa (Iraq) cement plant based on load flow balancing.

Behinds, thesedistributed generators work under two modes, such that island mode andregular operation.

The proposed modules are analyzed using ElectricalTransient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software.

The achieved analysis canhelp to reduce the distribution grid shutdown.

Furthermore, the loadbalancing can be achieved at both modes.

Load flow analysis takesconsideration for the total energy demands and losses of the systemseparately in order to balance load and optimize operation.

The resultsshow that the buses' voltage drop in island mode was more than the voltagedrop when the local grid connected to the national grid.

The problems ofdrop voltages and power factor were solved.
