Due to the increased penetration of distributed energy resources and the presence of
uncertainties in power networks, it is essential to evaluate the uncertainty of system …

Because of different characteristic features of distribution networks, such as radial structure
and high R/X ratio, distribution system load flow analysis differs significantly from …

We consider the problem of optimal reactive power compensation for the minimization of
power distribution losses in a smart microgrid. We first propose an approximate model for …

This paper proposes a reactive power flow control pursuing the active integration of
photovoltaic systems in LV distribution networks. An alternative power flow analysis is …

This paper presents a simple and efficient method to solve the power flow problem in radial
distribution systems. The proposed method takes into account voltage dependency of static …

The power-flow (PF) solution is a fundamental tool in power system analysis. Standard PF
formulations are based on the solution of a system of nonlinear equations which are …

This paper presents a study on the convergence characteristics of the backward/forward
sweep method, which is one of the most effective methods for the load-flow analysis of the …

The intermittency of renewable energy poses challenges on the reliable and economical
operations of microgrids. This paper considers a grid-connected microgrid model which …

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 …

Abstract In an islanded Micro-Grid (MG), the use of conventional power flow analysis is not
effective as the voltage of slack bus and the frequency of the MG are assumed to be …
