Power-flow solves for voltage magnitude and voltage angle of the load buses as well as reactive power of the generators to satisfy energy balance throughout the power system. The feature is active only if the corresponding key is in the license. It assumes that taps of transformers and switchable shunt devices are locked.
The power-flow feature in ePHASORSIM is for both balanced systems (positive sequence) that include models of machines and also three-phase unbalance unbalanced systems which include voltage sources. The input data format can be either Unbalanced power-flow is only available for networks defined in Excel (v1.3 8 or later) , PSS/E (v.32) or CYME. It assumes that taps of transformers and switchable shunt devices are locked.
Power-flow executes only on the host machine (offline) but the results can be used as input for real-time simulation (and it has no impact on the runtime performance).
