Võimsuslahesüsteemidearvutused, often translated as "Power Flow Calculations" or "Load Flow Studies" in English, refers to the analysis of electrical power systems to determine the flow of active and reactive power throughout the network. These calculations are fundamental to the planning, operation, and security assessment of any electrical grid. The primary goal is to ascertain voltage levels at each bus (node) in the system, the angles of these voltages, and the power flow on each transmission line and transformer.

The process involves solving a set of non-linear algebraic equations that describe the behavior of the power system. Key inputs for these calculations include the network topology, generation capacities and dispatch points, load demands, and the impedance of transmission lines and transformers. The output provides critical information for system operators, such as identifying potential overloads on equipment, voltage violations, and areas of the grid that may be operating inefficiently.

Different iterative numerical methods, such as the Gauss-Seidel, Newton-Raphson, or Fast Decoupled methods, are employed to solve these equations. The accuracy and convergence of these methods are crucial for reliable results. Power flow studies are essential for identifying the impact of new generation or load additions, evaluating the effectiveness of system upgrades, and ensuring the system can operate reliably under various conditions, including normal operation and contingency scenarios (e.g., the loss of a transmission line or generator). Understanding these calculations is vital for maintaining grid stability and power quality.
