Abstract—Power is essentially required for the
development of any country. To maintain the generation
of electric power at adequate level the power has to be
transmitted in proper form and quality to the consumer.
Open access transmission has created a deregulated
power market and brought new challenges to system
planning. This paper proposes a new method to compute
a probabilistic load flow in extensive power systems for
the purpose of using it as a quick screening tool to
determine
the
major
investment
on
improving
transmission system inadequacy.
This research paper deals with the simulation of 132 kV
substation in Electrical Transient Analyzer Program
(ETAP) with detailed load flow analysis and also to
overcome the problem of an under voltage. The results are
based on actual data received from 132 kV Hingna II
substation.
Keyword— Load Flow,ETAP software, reactive power ,
Buses, voltage profile.

The Power Station Load Flow Analysis
program calculates the bus voltages, branch power
factors, currents, and power flows throughout the
electrical system. The program allows for swing,
voltage regulated, and unregulated power sources with
multiple utility and generator connections. It handles
both radial and loop systems.

Load Flow Using Electrical Transient
Analyzer Program (ETAP)
ETAP Load Flow software performs power flow analysis
and voltage drop calculations with accurate and reliable
results. Built-in features like automatic equipment
evaluation, alerts and warnings summary, load flow result
analyzer, and intelligent graphics make it the most
efficient electrical power flow analysis tool available
today.
ETAP load flow calculation program calculates bus
voltages, branch power factors, currents, and power flows
throughout the electrical system. ETAP allows for swing,
voltage regulated, and unregulated power sources with
unlimited power grids and generator connections. This
load flow calculation software is capable of performing

analysis on both radial and loop systems. ETAP allows to
select from several different load flow calculation
methods in order to achieve the most efficient and
accurate results.
The following two tables describe how these factors are
used in these cases:
Motor load includes induction motor and
generator, synchronous motor, MOV, and motor
load portion of lumped load.
Static load includes static load, capacitor, and static
load portion of lumped load.

132 KV SUBSTATION, HINGNA II
,NAGPUR
3.1Overview
There are two main 132kv bus incoming for the
substation. These buses are:-
1.132kv kalmeshwar
2.132kv Ambazari
Now the transmission line first parallel connected with
lightning arrester to diverge surge, followed by CVT
connected parallel.CVT measures voltage and steps down
from 132kv to 63.5 volts A.C for control panel, at the
location a wave trap is connected to
carrier
communication at higher frequencies. Switchgear
equipment is provided, which is the combination of
circuit breaker having an isolator at each end. Two
transformers are connected to main bus . In addition to the
main bus, Transfer bus is also provided in substation in

case any maintenance work is to be carried out on the
main bus.
After the main bus, lightning arresters, current
transformers, isolators and circuit breakers before the
transformers are provided. Then transformers step downs
voltage from 132kv to 33kv & 11kv respectively. The
main bus is then again provided with switchgear
equipment & a current transformer.
Capacitor bank is connected to main bus. It is provided to
improve power factor & voltage profile.
3.2 Equipment Details Of Hingna II 132kv Substation
The details of the equipment are taken from 132KV
Hingna II substation of Nagpur ring main EHV
system.
•
It comprises of 4 transformers out of which 2 are
of 50MVA rating & other 2 are of 25MVA each.
•
The 132KV substation consists of 35 buses,out
of which there is 1 generating bus & 2 load bus.
•
The substation also consist of step down
transformers of rating 33 kv/0.4 kv and
11kv/0.4KV of 0.2 MVA each for distribution
purpose.

CONCLUSION
The load flow calculation results are reported both on the
one-line diagram and in the Crystal Reports format. The
graphical one-line diagram displays the calculated bus
voltages, branch flows and voltage drops, load power
consumption, etc. It also flags abnormal operating
conditions, such as overloaded cables and over- or under
voltage buses, in different colors.
The Crystal Reports format provides with detailed
information for a load flow analysis. Load Flow Report
Manager can be utilize to help the view of output report.

summary to view. Some portions of the summary are
available only when specific options in the study case,
such as Critical and Marginal Voltage.
Conclusion- In this paper Load Flow study using ETAP
software is carried out with an approach to overcome the
problem of an under voltage. Load Flow Studies using
ETAP software is an excellent tool for system planning. A
number of operating procedures can be analyzed such as
the loss of generator, a transmission line, a transformer or
a load. Load flow studies can be used to determine the
optimum size and location of capacitors to surmount the
problem of an under voltage.
Also, they are useful in determining the system voltages
under conditions of suddenly applied or disconnected
loads. Load flow studies determine if system voltages
remain within specified limits under various contingency
conditions, and whether equipment such as transformers
and conductors are overloaded.
After carrying work in the load-flow analysis of
distribution systems, the following guidelines seem to be
worth pursuing this area:
(i)Load-flow analysis for unbalanced network.
(ii)Fuzzy load-flow analysis.
(iii)Uncertainty in branch impedance.
