Radial distribution systems, sparse technique, load flow, realistic loads, load growth
The need of fast load flow algorithms for radial distribution networks that take advantage of their particular structure has been increasing for the planning and optimization. In this paper, a novel load flow method of radial distribution systems (RDSs) is presented. In the proposed method, different realistic loads have been considered, as loads are voltage dependent in distribution systems. The effect of load growth is investigated with the proposed method as it is required for system expansion, planning and operation. The proposed method has good convergence pattern and execution time for all type of realistic loads and size of the networks. The efficacy of the proposed method is tested with different RDS and compared with other existing methods.
