On the Applicability of Two Families of Cubic Techniques for Power Flow Analysis

This work presents a comprehensive analysis of two cubic techniques for Power Flow (PF) studies. In this regard, the families Weerakoon-like and Darvishi-like are considered. Several theoretical findings presented posteriorly confirmed by multiple numerical results. Based on obtained results, Weerakoon’s technique is considered more reliable than Newton-Raphson Darvishi’s methods. As counterpart, it high computational burden. Regarding point, has turned out to be quite efficient fully competitive with Newton’s scheme.
