Load Flow Analysis — Network Design Optimization

Load flow study is the steady state analysis of power system network which determines the operating state of the system for a given loading. It’s goal is to determine the flow of power, current, voltage, real power and reactive power in a system under any load conditions. During the design phase of a new project or when evaluating changes and additions to existing electrical system, a load flow study is necessary to ensure system voltages and current remain within safe limits and whether additional equipment or services will be required. The flow of electric power in any electrical system is referred to as “Load Flow”
