A Comparison of Active Power Generated Under Normal Circumstances with the Optimization State Electric Power System

Abstract

To see the power at normal conditions and at optimal conditions, the researchers used the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP). Simulation using Load Flow (LF) and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a tool to produce power flow during normal conditions and when the power flow is optimal as a comparison for calculating the cost of generation from the power produced by each generator. After carrying out the Load Flow simulation process, when normal conditions were obtained, the simulation results showed that the active power released by the plant was 807.3 MW. Whereas after carrying out the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) simulation process, at optimal conditions. The simulation results show that the active power released by the generator is 806.2 MW.
