Modelling and Simulation of Complex Power System Network to Prevent Blackouts

Abstract

A complex power system network consists of different elements of the power system such as generators, motors, transformers, transmission and distribution lines, relays, circuit breakers etc. In this, a complex network is being modeled and simulated accordingly in order to prevent unwanted blackouts occur due to various climatic as well as system disorders. This aims to prevent such unwanted blackouts that cause very harmful effect to every stage of human kind. Losses occurs which leads to downfall of the system and the country. In this we study various dynamics and reasons of blackouts. Power system main critical loading effects are to be analyzed and in order to model a system network which will be effective in order to prevent such blackouts. In this we will study main causes of blackouts and how they can be reduced. It is done through the model analysis software ”power world simulator” in which various curves, and outputs show the reduced effect of the loading of the power system transmission and distribution line. Thus, the system will be analyzed with and without the effects of the overloading and the factors which leads to blackouts. Various relays such as fast recovery relays, frequency fast acting relays, shunt capacitors or series capacitors also be used in order to reduce harmonics and may help the system to work in better condition. Therefore, the model analysis is best option to analyze and simulate the power system network in order to predict the system to be well defined work and prove so that the system could be installed as per the analyzed version to which the cost and time could be reduced and better efficiency could be harvested.
