Abstract

A new approach based on the object-oriented design patterns is proposed for the development of object-oriented optimal power flow analysis software. Important design patterns, such as “Bridge,” “Flyweight,” and “Strategy,” are utilized to develop a comprehensive optimal power flow analysis program, which supports handling of different objective functions and interchanging of the solution techniques. Analysis independent object models of power system components are obtained by untying the attributes required for computation from the attributes representing the physical characteristics of an object. The computational objects modeled specifically for optimal power flow analysis have a feasibility to include new objective functions and solution techniques. The proposed object-oriented design of optimal power flow computation has been implemented in C++. The implementation details and performance of the developed program have been discussed in detail.
