A Modification of Newton–Raphson Power Flow for Using in LV Distribution System
The Newton–Raphson (NR) method is still frequently applied for computing load flow (LF) due to its precision and quadratic convergence properties. To compute LF in a low voltage distribution system (LVDS) with unbalanced topologies, each branch model in the LVDS can be simplified by defining the neu...

| Sumario: | The Newton–Raphson (NR) method is still frequently applied for computing load flow (LF) due to its precision and quadratic convergence properties. To compute LF in a low voltage distribution system (LVDS) with unbalanced topologies, each branch model in the LVDS can be simplified by defining the neutral and ground voltages as zero and then using Kron’s reduction to transform into a 3 × 3 branch matrix, but this decreases accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified branch model that is also reduced into a 3 × 3 matrix but is derived from the impedances of the phase-A, -B, -C, neutral, and ground conductors together with the grounding resistances, thereby increasing the accuracy. Moreover, this paper proposes improved LF equations for unbalanced LVDS with both PQ and PV nodes. The improved LF equations are based on the polar-form power injection approach. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the modified branch model and the improved LF equations. |
