Improved NR current injection load flow using power mismatch representation of PV bus

Abstract

This letter presents improvement in the revised current injection mismatch load flow method (NR-RCIM) using new representation of voltage controlled bus (PV bus). In the proposed formulation, the representations of PV buses are based on power mismatches and the other PQ buses based on current mismatches. This combined power and current injection mismatches method (NR-PCIM) decreases the required current injection load flow equations and improves the convergence performance in case of PV buses. Tests and comparisons among different Newton Raphson load flow techniques: conventional Newton Raphson (NR), NR-RCIM and the new NR-PCIM have been held to illustrate the validity and merits of the proposed algorithm.
