AB  - Load flow analysis provides an essential vehicle for understanding the state of an electric power system. An ability to perform the load flow and to make appropriate engineering judgments based on its results is an important skill for the power system operator, technologist, and engineer. Both design and analysis facets of the problem are significant in gaining the use of load flow as a tool to design, operate, evaluate, assess and improve the system. In this paper, methods employed by faculty to teach this important topic are assessed at two universities, one of which provide engineering technology programs, and the other, engineering. Each offers its students required or elective sequences in electric power systems. The vehicle for this investigation, one of the fundamental and unifying topics of power systems analysis, is load-flow analysis.

In this paper, the authors describe the importance of load flow analysis as a unifying topic for an introductory course in public electric utility power systems and provide their methodologies for teaching this subject. Their use of various analytical and simulation tools is discussed. These include two primary approaches. First, they approach the subject from a basic programming perspective, using programming language or a mathematics package to write the code necessary to assess the performance of a small power system. Second, they approach the subject from a holistic perspective, using a high-level software package to design a small working power system and then designing and testing improvements to it.
