Abstract

An electric power system is a network of electrical components used to supply, transmit, and use electric power. An example of an electric power system is the network that supplies a region's homes and industry with power. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of the power system, hand calculations may be very complicated in some cases, especially when the number of buses or inputs is very large. Here comes the role of software for convergence, time saving, and accuracy. The "Electric Power System Simulator" focuses on three main concepts in power system analysis, the "Power Flow Calculation," "Faults Calculation," and "Economic Dispatch Calculation."

Keywords: GUI, Newton-Raphson, unsymmetrical faults, economic dispatch, MATALB
