Abstract

A survey is presented on the currently available numerical techniques for power-system load-flow calculation using the digital computer. The review deals with methods that have received widespread practical application, recent attractive developments, and other methods that have interesting or useful characteristics. The analytical bases, computational requirements, and comparative numerical performances of the methods are discussed. Attention is given to the problems and techniques of adjustments in load-flow solutions, and the suitabilities of various methods for modern applications such as security monitoring and optimal load flow are examined.
