Abstract
Abstract Loadflow computer arrangements include a modularized analog network simulator which includes modular circuits representing power system generators and loads, as well as buses and lines. The modular generator circuit generator is constrained by scheduled generator electrical power and voltage magnitude values, and the modular load circuit is constrained by scheduled load power values. The modular bus, line, generator and load circuits are interconnected to simulate the power system and operate to force currents and voltages to satisfy current and voltage laws to provide the bus voltage solution.
