Abstract:

This paper presents a new direct matrix inversion-less analysis for radial distribution systems (RDSs). The method can successfully deal with weakly meshed distribution systems. (WMDSs). Being easy to implement, direct methods (DMs) provide an excellent performance. Matrix inversion is the mean reason of divergence and low-efficiency in power flow algorithms. In this paper, the performance of the proposed DM is upgraded since it is no longer necessary to use the matrix inversion and its related computations. On the other hand, DMs have not been explicitly developed for different models of loads and, moreover, analyzing meshes in previous works decreases the efficiency of such methods. This paper deals with these issues and takes a few steps forward. The modeling of distributed generations in distribution systems is also studied which is an interesting topic nowadays. Simulations results for balanced, unbalanced, meshed and radial systems with distributed generations verify the performance of the proposed method.

Analysis and Comparison of Load Flow Methods for Distribution Networks Considering Distributed Generation

Conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. Conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. In modern distribution networks distributed generation (DG) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. DG units are generally modeled as PV or PQ nodes which inject ...

A Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
