Abstract

This paper evaluates the convergence of a load flow method based on Cespedes' formulation to distribution system steady-state analysis. The method is described and the closed-form of its convergence rate is deduced. Furthermore, convergence dependence of loading and the consequences of choosing particular initial estimates are verified mathematically. All mathematical results have been tested in numerical simulations, some of them presented in the paper.

Abstract

This paper introduces a modified edition of classical Cespedes' load flow method to radial distribution system analysis. In the developed approach, a distribution network is modeled in different complex reference systems and reduced to a set of connected equivalent subnetworks, each without resistance, while graph topology and node voltage solution are preserved. Active power losses are then not dissipated in the modeled subnetworks and active power flows can be obtained as a consequence of radiality. Thus, the proposed method preprocesses a series of variable transformations concomitant to an iterative algorithm using a forward-backward sweep to arrive at the load flow solution. The proposed approach has been tested using literature and actual distribution networks, and efficiency improvements are verified in comparison to Cespedes' load flow method.
