Decoupled solution of radial and weakly meshed distribution networks through a backward method
2008
A methodology for the analysis of radial or weakly meshed distribution systems supplying voltage dependent loads is developed. The solution process is iterative and, at each step, the loads are simulated by means of impedances. The network is divided into two sub-networks which must be solved separately and sequentially; in the first, named RP-net, only the lines resistances and the loads shunt equivalent resistances are considered; in the second, named XQ-net, only the lines reactances and the shunt equivalent reactances are taken into account. After a brief presentation of the b/f method, which is currently the most commonly used technique to solve distribution networks, the proposed meth…
A decoupled method for solving distribution networks with PV nodes
2009
In this paper, a methodology for the load flow solution of distribution systems with fixed voltage nodes (PV nodes) is presented. The proposed technique is the extension of a methodology already set up by the authors to solve distribution systems; it is an iterative approach devoted to the treatment of voltage dependent loads; at each iteration, all the network components (lines, loads, and PV nodes) are represented by resistances and reactances. The methodology is based on the identification of two networks that are solved in sequence, thus allowing the attainment of state features of the original system. One of the two systems is made up only of shunt and series resistances; the other onl…
