ABSTRACT
This study presents the load flow analysis of Ughelli- 15, 15MVA, 33/11kV injection substation, Delta State, Nigeria. It is very essential for a load flow study to be carried out in a power system in other to enable one carry out an effective planning, design, implementation, configuration and control of the system so as to obtain maximal, effective and more reliable system. With load flow analysis the state of power distribution (load )is related or evaluated with generation. The paper presents a computer aided load flow analysis of an existing Ughelli- 15, 15MVA, 33/11kV injection substation using ETAP 12.6 software. From the result of the analysis out of (63) load feeders, (4) feeders were out of service, during peak period and off-peak period voltage violation occurred on (58) feeders, with (1) load feeder within acceptable voltage range at both peak period and off-peak period.
