Well Known
• Generally, generator would be located near
sources of primary energy
• There are main electricity consumption points or
load centres supports industrial and commercial
activities as manufacturing, mining, etc
• In a simplistic manner, a power system network
consists of the network of transmission lines, the
generators and load centres.
A Re-statement of the Nature of
Power Systems
• Can we view power system networks as
interconnections of sources, sinks and circuit
elements?
Alternatively
• Instead of the traditional, computationally
intensive power system analysis techniques
based on non-linear load flow equations, ......
• Can power systems be analysed using simple
circuit analysis laws?
Summary of Presentation
• Thought-provoking comments on the classical
load flow approach
• The inherent structural theory of power
systems networks(ISTN): in history
• Our recent extension of the ISTN with the
introduction of new indices
• Illustrate the use of some of our ISTN indices
in power system analysis.
A Q-V Sensitivity Presentation
• Consider
I  YbusV
• Where I: injected currents, Ybus : bus
admittance matrix and, V:nodal voltages

The Lesson from the Q-V Methods
• The load flow methods introduce nonlinearities
that are not inherent in the original problem
• May thus add several orders of complexity in
arriving at a solution of the problem
• The sub-optimality of solutions of some power
flow problems, arise from the method of
solution: and may not be inherent in the
problem itself
......
• If the complexity of a power system network is
increased by the volatility of microgrids/
distributed generation/intermittent renewable
sources, shall classical load flow methods
improve or complicate the ease of solution of
network problems?
The Theory of the Inherent Structural
Characteristics of Transmission Networks (ISTN)
• The earliest thoughts in this regard, were
formulated by Laughton (1964)
• This approach argues that, the interactions of
voltages V, and currents I (and hence power
flows)in a power system networks are
governed by ohms law of the form V=ZI or
I=YZ
Classical ISTN
• That variations of V or I creates variations of the
other.
• That Z (Y) remains constant in a given network
• That the behaviour of the network is preserved in
the structure of its Y matrix: the Y matrix thus
contains all the information on the inherent
(electrical) structure or behaviour of the
network.
Success of the Classical ISTN
• Several successful applications of classical
ISTN have been reported:
– location of capacitors & harmonic filters
– Power quality studies
– Generator allocation
– Identification of weak nodes in power systems
Challenges of Classical ISTN
• Was not very successful in the analysis of
highly interconnected networks
• Extensions of this theory, providing the socalled T-index is also found to be highly
complex in practical applications
Recent Extensions to the ISTN Theory
• Realised that buses in a power system do not
have the same play: generator impedances YG,
load impedances YL and transmission line or
generator-load impedances YGL had different
contributions to the I-V behaviour of the
network.
New ISTN Terminology
• Parallels were drawn with nuclear forces:
proto-proton attraction (affinity), electronelectron attractions, and proton-electron
attractions
• A related partitioning of the Y matrix of the
network:

• The eigenvalues of AGG define the ‘structural
impact of the generator-electrical attraction
region’
• The generator associated with the least

generator voltages

“generator affinity”

4. Load-load Electrical Attraction
•
CLL  YLL  YLGYGG1YGL
represents the equivalent load
buses admittance or load-load attraction
• The eigenvalues of CLL determine the
“structural impact of the electrical load
attraction region” or how load buses affect
load voltage
• The load bus with the lowest eigenvalue
participation in CLL affects load voltages most.

Summary of ISTN Indices
• Ideal generator contribution, derived from FLG, gives how a
generator contributes to load voltage at a given load bus
• Structural impact of the load electrical attraction region:
captures the critical behaviour of load-load buses to power
system networks & and can be used to counter the
limitation of the ideal generator contribution
• Structural impact of generator electrical attraction:
valuable in identifying generators that are located at
structurally weal nodes
• Generator affinity: clarifies which load buses will be
supplied with larger power levels, based on their low
impedance links
