Warm-up

Which important equipment we have in our power system?

What do we know about power flow?
Why do we need to know how much power is flowing in the
network? Network Manager
Ventyx, an ABB Company, who are we?
When we do power flow, what is the relevant time?
How much we can trust in our power flow results?
(hint: accuracy of measurement)
What do we need to handle all these complexity?
