In today's energy systems, load flow and short circuit analysis are critical for grid security and performance. In particular, understanding the effects of new structures and equipment on existing infrastructure is a vital requirement for preventing power quality problems and sustainable energy management. In this study, load flow and short circuit analysis of a feeder in the center of Rize is investigated using DIgSILENT software. The analysis reveals that a new building added to the feeder increases the loading by 14.8%, which is due to reactive power loading. Moreover, adding a charging station and a movie theatre increased the line loading by 27.2% and nearly doubled the overall grid loading. Short circuit analysis showed that the new building increased the short circuit loading by 10.9%, while the loading of the special provincial disaster directorate line was 17.4%. The results reveal that the maximum loading at the Rize transformer substation is 21.74% and 1.005 pu at Akarsu cabin, providing a detailed assessment of the impact of new buildings and equipment on grid performance. These findings provide important insights for the future development of the region's power infrastructure.
