DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM SOFTWARE PARA O CÁLCULO DO FLUXO DE POTÊNCIA UTILIZANDO O MATLAB

Abstract

The calculation of the power flow basically boils down to the determination of voltage, current, active or reactive power at various points in the power grid. This study is a fundamental tool for the planning, operation and simulation of electrical power systems. In general, the calculation of the power flow is solved with equations and complexes due to the amount of calculations involved. In this way, there is a need for more user-friendly software that is easy to access and has a free license so that it can help in transposition to barriers. Given this difficulty, this work is an end-solution as the goal of a software capable of calculating power flow in electrical power systems using a programming language offered by Matlab software. The development of FluxPot software focused on two calculation methods known in the literature, the linearized method and the linearized method with losses. The programming script developed for the flow equations with a graphical interface created in the Guide tool, prove to be functional in simulations of electrical systems of three, nine and fourteen bars, meeting the expected work expectations.
