The level of electrical quality has become a necessity in supporting human activities, especially in voltage stability. To support the calculation of voltage stability, various load flow methods have been developed. Load Flow Analysis is very important in planning and implementation in designing future power system expansion and in determining the best operation of the existing system. The tools for calculating simulation based power flow are the Power Tool Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) and the Transient and Electrical Analysis Program (ETAP). This paper discusses the comparison of the performance of the two load flow simulation tools, PSAT and ETAP. The Gandul Substation network data in Indonesia in April 2019 with a load of 15.37 MW is used for simulations. Load flow analysis is performed using Newton Raphson method with a network of 11 buses (150 kV, 20kV). The simulation results show that PSAT has a deviation of about 0.663% to the Bus Voltage from GIG and ETAP simulation has a deviation of about 0.562% to the Bus Voltage from GIG.
