PowerWorld Fault Analysis Results

The document analyzes faults at different buses in a PowerWorld case. It reports the fault current magnitudes and angles for faults at each bus based on PowerWorld simulations. Phase voltages and angles are also reported for each fault case. As verification, a MATLAB code was written to calculate fault currents based on values from PowerWorld simulations.
