Load Flow Analysis
Load flow or power flow analysis is one of the basic and important analyses performed in power system planning and operation. It determines the voltage, phase angle and active and reactive power flow in each line and bus of the power system under different load conditions. Load flow helps in voltage regulation, line loadings, power losses calculations and identifies over/under voltage zones. Software packages like PowerWorld, ETAP, SKM Power*Tools etc provides tools for building single line diagram models, specifying power system parameters and performing load flow studies.

Short Circuit Analysis
Short circuit analysis calculates the magnitude of short circuit currents in the event of faults like line-to-ground, line-to-line or three phase faults. Power System Analysis Software helps in selecting appropriate switchgear, circuit breakers and protecting relay settings. Power system analysis software offers graphically assisted modeling of power system networks and computation of symmetrical components to determine short circuit currents during faults. Advanced programs also simulate dynamic behavior of circuit breakers during faults.

Dynamic and Transient Stability
Transient stability analysis examines power system response to major disturbances like three phase faults, sudden opening or closing of transmission lines or generators tripping. It determines whether the synchronous machines and power system remain in synchronism or lose synchronism after fault is cleared. Software like PowerWorld, DSATools conduct eigenvalue analysis, simulateswing curves and provide visualization of stability limits. Transient stability simulation is crucial for secure grid operation during contingencies.
