Fluxo de potência continuado baseado em equações de injeção de corrente expressas em coordenadas polares

Abstract

This work presents a comparative study on the various existing methods in the literature to solve the power flow (PF) and continuation power flow (CPF), using the methods which are based on power injection equations and current injection equations. The power injection formulation works based on active and reactive power balance equations at each bus, while the current injection using expressions relating to the current balance. In order to make the comparison, the influence of three forms of handling the generation buses (PV) in the convergence characteristics of simplified Newton-Raphson method, used in the solution of the power flow equations in polar coordinates, and by considering the current injection formulation is considered. Moreover, the results of performance tests between the simplified and the conventional methods, which use the power injection equations expressed in terms of polar coordinates, are presented. In order to performance analysis five IEEE test systems such as 14, 30, 57, 118, and 300 bus and two large-scale real electrical power systems such as south Brazilian 638 and 787 bus systems are conducted. The aforementioned systems are tested under different R/X ratios for the branches and different loading conditions. The results show that an improvement in convergence characteristics can be obtained for the simplified method.
