Determination of the Maximum Permitted Load
in the Simplified FREEDM Loop System
• Understand the basic load flow concept
• Learn to use PowerWorld Simulator
• Determine the maximum allowable power at each load
• PowerWorld Simulator
• Contingency analysis of the
system
• Overcurrent protection of the
loop against faults
Power
Triangle
• Max. power at each load is one of the
indicators to operate the system
under safety ratings
• Prevent risks of over-heating or
damage to the equipment
• Understood basic electrical grid concept
• Using PowerWorld to demonstrate and
analyze different network systems
