The importance of power flow analysis is very significant for an Electric Power System (EPS). It is very vital for the designers and operators of EPS as well as large electric power consumers to have knowledge of several electrical quantities such as voltages and power flows of the electrical power system. In the context of this thesis, it is successfully developed a software application to provide users with the ability to simulate a modern electrical power system according to existing standards and carry out load flow analysis.First, an introduction to EPS is presented in this dissertation. Moreover, the structure of electrical power systems and issues such as the production, transmission and distribution of electricity are briefly presented. Subsequently, the load flow problem is analyzed and formulated. More specifically, the representation of each element of the electrical power system is outlined and then the equations of load flow are presented. The foundation of the load flow problem is provided, and various solution methods are presented.Furthermore, the design of the developed software application is analyzed. Detailed instructions for the use of the software and the correct modeling of an electrical power system are given. Moreover, instructions how the results of the simulations can be obtained and processed are provided.Finally, the simulation of the electrical power system of Crete is conducted. EPS of Crete consists of 19 busses, several electrical generators, high voltage transmission lines and RES.The obtained simulation results are presented. The implementation of the presented software application has been done in Java programming language, Matlab and Matpower.
