three group, it was firstnecessary to determine if these distributions were normally distributed since parametricstatistical tests for comparison of means between distributions (i.e., student t-test) assume normaldistributions. The Q-Q graphs for each of these groups are shown in Figure 5. Normallydistributed data will occur along a straight line in these diagrams. Although the Control/Partnersgroup appears to be normally distributed, the Singles and EEBoard groups deviate fromnormality. The Shapiro-Wilk test for normallity confirmed that the Control/Partners distributionwas not statistically different from normal; however, both the Singles and EEBoard distributionswere indeed non-gaussian distributed (p<0.05 & 0.001 respectively).

The direct methods include “artificial intelligence method”, “differentiationmethod”, “P&Q method”, and so on. The direct methods are more robust i.e. prior knowledge ofthe PV parameters is not required.

critical key to understand the state of transmission system is to know power flows in MWand Mvar and percentage loading of transmission lines. However this can be quite difficult,particularly for large power systems. One technique is to use animation of flows to illustrate howpower is actually flowing in a system. The flow of power into and out of buses is portrayed ascolored arrows that move in the direction of the power transfer. The magnitude of each flow isindicated by the size of the arrows and the speed with which they move through the associatedequipment. Larger, faster-moving arrows symbolize larger power flows.
