Bus description field can be effectively used if the bus name is more than 8 characters. If
bus name is more than 8 characters, then a short name is given in the bus name field and

Frequency dependent load flow is done to find the variation of frequency due to load and
generation mismatch.
The types of frequency dependent load flow are
In Flat tie line control the power generation is kept constant and a slight variation in
frequency is allowed. If the load is more compared to generation there will be reduction of
frequency and vice versa.
In Flat frequency control the frequency is kept constant and variation in power is allowed.
Each generator is given a participation factor, which decides the power it shares when there
is mismatch between load and generation due to frequency being kept constant.

Feed Data : Current = 100 A and Power factor = 0.8
4. In Study info of Load flow analysis dialog select Feed current simulation option
5. Execute load flow analysis and plot the results on GUI. In plot LFA window select
the power flow display option as Amp-Angle. Following diagram shows feed current
simulation results plotted on SLD.

Feed current simulation will work with all type of load flow. For the above sample it
gives better results with NR method. For feed current only one feeder will be
considered and below that feeder there may be a ring circuit.
