POWER NETWORK ADEQUACY EVALUATION USING PV CURVE NOSE POINT

The main objective of this project is to determine adequate network configuration for
a specific practical power network system. Power network adequacy is a measure of
its ability to supply the aggregate electric power and energy requirements of the
customers within component ratings and voltage limits, taking into account planned
and unplanned outages of system components. Improper network configuration
results in weakness in a power transmission or distribution networks and limits
flexibility in network operation. Using load flow analysis, power network adequacy
can be evaluated in terms of adequate power network configuration. By utilizing the
most adequate network configuration, it will be more economical at the same time
maintaining the stability of the entire network system.
