Detailed Documentation

This project presents a MATLAB implementation of the IEEE 14-bus system model for power flow analysis in electrical power systems. The model facilitates the study of power transmission and distribution patterns among network nodes. Through MATLAB simulation, users can perform Newton-Raphson or Gauss-Seidel power flow calculations to analyze active/reactive power distribution, voltage profiles, and line losses. Key implementation features include bus admittance matrix formation, power mismatch calculations, and iterative convergence algorithms. This model enables researchers to identify potential system issues like voltage violations or line overloads, and evaluate corrective measures through scenario testing. The power flow analysis provides critical insights for assessing system reliability, stability margins, and optimization strategies, serving as a fundamental tool for power system planning and operational studies. The code structure typically includes functions for data input, matrix operations, iterative solvers, and result visualization using MATLAB's plotting capabilities.
