The IEEE 3002.2-2018 standard focuses on providing guidelines and recommendations for conducting load-flow studies and analysis in industrial and commercial power systems. The standard covers a range of activities related to load flow analysis, including design considerations for new systems, analytical studies for existing systems, and operational and model validation considerations.

The standard highlights the importance of load flow analysis, which includes steady-state power flow and voltage analysis, as well as optimal power flow calculations. It emphasizes the use of computer-aided analysis software with desirable capabilities for conducting modern load-flow studies. The standard also provides examples of system data requirements and result analysis techniques.

The scope of the standard is to provide guidance on conducting load-flow studies and analysis specifically for industrial and commercial power systems. It is particularly useful for power-oriented engineers who may have limited experience in this area. Additionally, it can also aid engineers responsible for the electrical design of industrial and commercial power systems.

The purpose of the standard is to address the need for reorganizing the IEEE Color Books Series, which currently consists of 13 books covering various topics in the industrial and commercial power industry. The reorganization aims to streamline content, eliminate duplicative material, and facilitate easy updating. While this purpose statement is mentioned, it is clarified that it will not be included in the document itself.
