Load flow analyzes of power system of PETKİM Petrochemical Aliaga complex

This study presents load flow simulations of a big petrochemical plant having both external and internal supplying facilities. First its power system is modeled and modeling accuracy is verified by comparison the simulation results with the actual measurements for two different loading conditions. Then, load flow simulations are performed for four different operation schemes and the results are compared with each other from several points of view. Finally, best operation configuration and expansion possibilities of the system are discussed.
