COMPARISON OF METHODS FOR LOAD FLOW CALCULATION IN LOW VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK WITH CONNECTED DISPERSED PRODUCTION
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 8
Load flow analysis represents one of the core methods used in modern distribution system operation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide efficient, numerically robust load flow algorithms with fast convergence and minimum usage of memory, suitable for variety of operating scenarios. The paper presents, compares and evaluates two efficient methods for load flow calculation in distribution network – backward/forward sweep method and direct method. The procedure of modeling the distribution network elements – line sections, loads, distributed generation units, as well as the implementation of algorithms, has been presented. The analysis has been performed on low voltage distribution network system.
