An efficient power flow method for distribution system studies under various load models

Improved load flow formulation for radial distribution networks

“…Authors in [2,6,16,19,[21][22][23] obtained the real power losses for the base case were different from the authors in [3,20]. This happens because the researchers in [2,6,16,19,[21][22][23] have chosen the values for resistance and reactance at 7 th line data as 1.7114 Ω and 1.2351 Ω respectively. Whereas for [3,20], both resistance and reactance were taken to be 0.7114 Ω and 0.2351 Ω respectively.…”

“…For instance, researchers in [4,5] proposed load flow solution to calculate the voltage magnitudes but did not mention any procedures to estimate the voltage phase angles. In [6], the authors implemented the load flow solution for radial and meshed distribution networks by using matrix multiplication. Another load flow method using dynamic data matrix for radial distribution systems was provided in [7].…”
