POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS AT PLANT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

This paper presents the analysis of power system and the approaches taken to model
and simulate power system of an industrial plant. The analysis is very crucial in planning,
designing, and operating stages of the system to confirm all the design parameter are as per
system design requirement to avoid any interruption in supply which may cause a loss in
revenue as well as jeop&rdising the safety of the plant and plant personnel. To predict and
understand the behavior of this system, analysis including load flow study for steady-state
operation and short circuit study to calculate the maximum fault current need to be done. The
main objective of this project is to develop an analysis of a practical plant model which
includes all the important elements in a power system. The scope of the project includes the
modeling and simulation of the industrial plant using a computer-aided simulation tool.
Correct input, output data and assumption shall be made to ensure all the simulation and data
interpretations are accurate. The model plant here refers to an industrial petrochemical plant.
MA TLAB has been chosen to model and simulate the power system analysis due to its
flexible software structure with wide selection of toolbox, model, and programme which
enable user to perform engineering analysis in specific condition. In this simulation, the actual
behavior of the system can be analyzed. Within a time frame of 12 months, the project is
assumed feasible as it only uses established data from one of a petrochemical plant and
development of the mod()! in software for simulation. Finally all the calculation result will be
observe and analyze to observe the behavior of the system. The simulation also allows the
engineer to assess the performance of the system during the design stage and when system is
already operating.
