Thevenin Equivalent Circuit Estimation And Application For Power System Monitoring And Protection, Mohammad M. Iftakhar Jan 2008

Thevenin Equivalent Circuit Estimation And Application For Power System Monitoring And Protection, Mohammad M. Iftakhar

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

The Estimation of Thevenin Equivalent Parameters is useful for System Monitoring and Protection. We studied a method for estimating the Thevenin equivalent circuits. We then studied two applications including voltage stability and fault location. A study of the concepts of Voltage Stability is done in the initial part of this thesis. A Six Bus Power System Model was simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK®. Subsequently, the Thevenin Parameters were calculated. The results were then used for two purposes, to calculate the Maximum Power that can be delivered and for Fault Location.
