Abstract
A new Recursive Power Flow (RPF) algorithm for balanced/unbalanced radial distribution systems is proposed in this paper. Four generalized constant matrixes, that are calculated based on the graph theory, are used to obtain the power flow solution. These matrixes completely describe topology of a distribution system and models of its elements. In this method, each branch of a distribution system is considered as a bipolar. The method is able to consider detailed model of the elements. Solvability and convergence properties of the method have been mathematically presented. The method has been studied on the standard 16, 33 and 69-bus balanced distribution systems. In addition, this method is tested on 4 and 13-bus unbalanced standard distribution systems. Also, the method is tested on a 1337-bus real distribution system in Lorestan Electrical Power Distribution Company, Iran. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy, computational efficiency and robustness of the proposed method.
