Assignment_3 (chapter 7)
Due date: Thursday 24 September
One problem, two parts (a) and (b) (15 + 5 marks) Total marks: 20
Instructions to students
You must clearly demonstrate your calculation for every step of the solution.
a) Build the power transfer distribution factor (PTDF) matrix for transactions from
each generator to the load on bus 3. Fill-in the table (show your calculations for all
values).
Line Gen. at Bus 1 to Load at Gen. at Bus 2 to Load at Gen. at Bus 4 to Load at
Bus 3 Bus 3 Bus 3

Part (b) [5 marks]
b) Calculate the line outage distribution factors (LODF) for an outage of line 1–3.
Fill-in the line outage table below.
Where
l = line where the power flow is being calculated
k = line being dropped
n, m = busses at the end of the line being dropped
PTDFn,m,l = power transfer distribution factor to calculate effect on line l from
injection of power into bus n and extraction from bus m.
PTDFn,m,k = power transfer distribution factor to calculate effect on line k from
injection of power into bus n and extraction from bus m.
