Load Flow Analysis

Development of distribution systems result in higher system losses and poor voltage regulation. Consequently, an efficient and effective distribution system has become more urgent and important. Hence proper selection of conductors in the distribution system is important as it determines the current density and the resistance of the line. This paper examines the use of different evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA), to optimal branch conductor selection in planning radial distribution systems with the objective to minimize the overall cost of annual energy losses and depreciation on the cost of conductors and reliability in order to improve productivity. Furthermore, The Backward-Forward sweep iterative method was adopted to solve the radial load flow analysis. Simulations are carried out on 69-bus radial distribution network using GA approach in order to show the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique.

Minimum Number

This paper presents a load flow algorithm based on the backward/forward sweep principle, flexible with network topology changes, with an improvement in ensuring a minimum number of searching for connections between nodes in the calculation sequence in the forward and the backward sweep, by organizing the radial distribution system information into a main line and its derivations. The proposed load flow analysis is easy to implement and does not require the use of any complex renumbering of branches and nodes, or any matrix calculation, with the only use of linear equations based on Kirchhoff’s formulation.

Sweep Algorithm

Abstract This paper presents a fast and efficient method for load flow analysis of radial distribution networks. Here, an adaptive algorithm is proposed to analyze the load flow problem of distribution systems. An adaptive algorithm is the combination of backward/forward (BW/FW) sweep and cuckoo search (CS) algorithms. In the proposed method, the optimum load flow analysis of the radial distribution system is attained, while optimizing the voltage and current computation of the BW/FW sweep algorithm. Now, by the CS, the output voltage of the BW/FW sweep algorithm is compared with the standard voltage and optimized. From the optimized voltage and current, load flow parameters like power loss and real and reactive power flow are assessed. The proposed method is implemented using the MATLAB platform and tested into the IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is determined by comparing with the BW/FW algorithm and genetic algorithm-based BW/FW algorithm.
