Two mismatch functions (power or current) and three coordinates (polar, Cartesian and complex form) result in six versions of the Newton–Raphson method for the solution of power flow problems. In this paper, five new versions of the Newton power flow method developed for single-phase problems in our previous paper are extended to three-phase power flow problems. Mathematical models of the load,...

This paper proposes a method for determining the price bidding strategies of market participants consisting of Generation Companies (GENCOs) and Distribution Companies (DISCOs) in a day-ahead electricity market, while taking into consideration the load forecast uncertainty and demand response programs. The proposed algorithm tries to find a Pareto optimal point for a risk neutral participan...

Large integration of solar Photo Voltaic (PV) in distribution network has resulted in over-voltage problems. Several control techniques are developed to address over-voltage problem using Deterministic Load Flow (DLF). However, intermittent characteristics of PV generation require Probabilistic Load Flow (PLF) to introduce variability in analysis that is ignored in DLF. The traditional PLF tech...

The main aim of this paper is to present an improved method to solve load flow problem in balanced radial distribution systems with laterals. The method is efficient and easy to implement. Based on electric circuit laws, this method is iterative and allows the evaluation of both, voltage (rms) values and phaseangles. The phase-angles although of small values become necessary in the reactive ene...

This paper presents a simple three phase load flow method to solve three-phase unbalanced radial distribution system (RDS). It solves a simple algebraic recursive expression of voltage magnitude, and all the data are stored in vector form. The algorithm uses basic principles of circuit theory and can be easily understood. Mutual coupling between the phases has been included in the mathematical ...

A three phase load flow solution with considering most of load modeling is presented which has good convergence property for any practical distribution networks with practical R/X ratio. It solves a simple algebraic recursive expression of voltage magnitude, and all the da...

This paper deals with a new, efficient power flow method for unbalanced radial distribution systems based on improved backward/forward sweep (BFS) algorithm. This proposed method utilizes simple and flexible numbering scheme and takes full advantage of the radial structure of distribution systems. This method is tested on an 8-bus Three-phase unbalanced distribution system. The numerical test p...

This paper presents Flow-Aware Routing Protocol (FARP), a new routing strategy designed to improve load balancing and scalability in mobile ad hoc networks. FARP is a hop-by-hop routing protocol, which introduces a flow-aware route discovery strategy to reduce the number of control overheads propagating through the network and distributes the flow of data through least congested nodes to balanc...

Customer class load profiles are widely used in distribution network analysis. They are used, for example, in distribution network load flow calculation, state estimation, planning calculation and tariff planning. Previously, load profiling required expensive and timeconsuming load research projects, but now automatic meter reading is providing huge amounts of information on electricity consump...

Estimation of the load, particularly of the peak load, is basis for the system state estimation, and for technical, and economic calculations. This makes possible improvement in economic operation, maintenance of electrical equipment, and optimal planning and operating of electrical distribution systems. In the paper, starting from a fuzzy correlation model of the loads, a power flow analysis f...
