Load Flow Analysis of a Six Bus System for a Bulk Scale Replacement of Conventional Lighting Loads in a Distributed Network

For any distribution system, optimal power flow is a basic requirement to get an efficient output from the system. Optimal power flow supports to optimize the system to get a minimum value of the objective function which serves adequately maximum benefit to both the end-user and participating power entities. Demand Side Management is the standard technique to reduce power consumption during the pick load hour by offering some intensives to the end-users. There is a common interest in power industries to find out the comprehensive network performance of the power system network for different load conditions for the change occurred by demand-side management. This paper compiles an analytical study on an optimal power flow convergence of a network for load clipping during pick load demand hours by a possible energy-efficient load replacement furthermore the result indicates there is a sufficient cost reduction by the load management in the network.
