| Abstract | An efficient load flow solution technique is required as a part of the distribution
automation (DA) system for taking various control and operations decisions. This paper
presents an efficient three phases power flow algorithm and program for application to
radial distribution networks. This method exploits the radial nature of the network and uses
forward and backward propagation to calculate branch currents and node voltages. The
proposed method has been tested to analyze practical distribution networks of Vientiane
distribution network system of various voltage levels and also having high RIX ratio.
The results for a practical distribution feeder are presented for illustration purposes.
The application of the proposed method is also extended to find optimum location for
reactive power compensation and network reconfiguration for planning and day-to-day
operation of distribution networks. |
