Revision history [back]

I've got a concept in my mind of plotting bus voltages for a large network in one graph. For this, I'd like the x-axis to show the electrical distance between buses, and the y-axis to be voltage. A node on the graph would represent a bus voltage at some point. The nodes on the graph would be connected with thin lines to other buses that it is directly connected to in the network. It might be worthwhile only plotting buses above a certain voltage.

The first step is to come up with the x-axis values for each bus. So, if I pick a bus at one far end of the network, these x-axis values should be the resistance between each bus in the network and the selected bus at the end of the network. I was wondering if anyone had a quick way to calculate this. I'm hoping that I don't have to set my bus at the end of the network to the slack bus and run a load flow after adding some load to each node.

Eventually, I'd like to generate an animated graph that shows a system-wide voltage response to a disturbance.
