Abstract
Reactive power compensation is an important issue in electric power systems, involving operational, economical and quality of service aspects. Consumer loads (residential, industrial, service sector, etc.) impose active and reactive power demand, depending on their characteristics. This paper presents an efficient method for solving the load flow problem in distribution systems and which is implemented for Pune city (India) to check the validity of proposed method. A simple algebraic matrix equation to solve the load flow problem is derived by using the complex power balance equations. By adopting the rectangular coordinate, which requires the neglect of only second order terms in the linearization procedure, the proposed method gives better convergence characteristics. Newton-Raphsonmethod is the famous load flow calculation technique, and normally used dueto its rapidness of numerical convergence. The proposed method estimates the incremental changesof active power on each generation bus with respect to the total system power loss, efficiency and the estimated value are used to update the slack bus power.
