INTRODUCTION
Load flow technique is very important
tool for analysis of power systems and used in
operational as well as planning stages. Certain
applications,
particularly
in
distribution
automation and optimization require repeated
load flow solutions. As the power distribution
networks become more and more complex, there
is a higher demand for efficient and reliable
system operation. Consequently, the most
important system analysis tool, load flow studies,
must have the capability to handle various
system configurations with adequate accuracy
and speed.
In many cases, it is observed that the
radial distribution systems are unbalanced
because of single-phase, two-phase and threephase loads. Thus, load flow solution for
unbalanced case and, hence special treatment is
required for solving such networks.
Due to the high R/X ratios and
unbalanced operation in distribution systems, the
Newton-Raphson and ordinary Fast Decoupled
Load Flow method may provide inaccurate
results and may not be converged. Therefore,
conventional load flow methods cannot be
directly applied to distribution systems. In many
cases, the radial distribution systems include
untransposed lines which are unbalanced because
of single phase, two phase and three phase loads.
Thus, load flow analysis of balanced radial
distribution systems [1-3] will be inefficient to
solve the unbalanced cases and the distribution
systems need to be analyzed on a three phase
basis instead of single phase basis.
There have been a lot of interests in the
area of three phase distribution load flows. A fast
decoupled power flow method has been
proposed in [4]. This method orders the laterals
instead of buses into layers, thus reducing the
problem size to the number of laterals. Using of
lateral variables instead of bus variables makes
this method more efficient for a given system
topology, but it may add some difficulties if the
network topology is changed regularly, which is
common in distribution systems because of
switching operations. In [5], a method for
solving unbalanced radial distribution systems
based on the Newton-Raphson method has been
proposed. Thukaram et al. [6] have proposed a
method for solving three-phase radial
distribution networks. This method uses the
forward and backward propagation to calculate
branch currents and bus voltages. A three-phase
fast decoupled power flow method has been

DISTRIBUTED LOADS
In the unbalanced distribution system,
loads can be uniformly distributed long a line.
When the loads are uniformly distributed, it is
not necessary to model each and every load in
order to determine the voltage drop from the
source end to the last loads.

Eqn. (7) and (8) represents a generalized model for star and delta load models. Where the n is defined as

The total system losses were found to be the following in each phase of the radial system:
Phase A: 34.70 kW 150.49 kVAr
Phase B: 18.67 kW 87.26 kVAr
Phase C: 95.90 kW 197.25 kVAr
unbalanced radial distribution networks. The
proposed method has good convergence property
for any practical distribution networks with
practical R/X ratio. Computationally, this method
is extremely efficient, as it solves simple
algebraic recursive equations for voltage
phasors. Another advantage of the proposed
method is all the data is stored in vector form,
thus saving enormous amount of computer
memory. The proposed algorithm can be used
effectively with Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition
(SCADA)
and
Distribution
Automation and Control (DAC) as the algorithm
quickly gets the voltage solution and can be used
to suggest rerouting or network reconfiguration
for efficient operation of the system.
[1]
Application to network reconfiguration
The proposed load flow technique can be
extended for network reconfiguration, as it is
efficient and robust for analysing larger
distribution system with higher number of nodes.
First we can define the switching option with the
available switches and total system losses can be
calculated for each switching option. These loss
values are arranged in merit order to obtain the
optimum configuration.
CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, a simple and efficient computer
algorithm has been presented to solve
