Advanced algorithms for power flow analysis

Abstract

The Power Flow is a very well-known computational tool in Power System Analysis. Even now, it is object of many works and papers. the Newton Raphson technique is used for this purpose in industry tools. Although, plenty of solution techniques have been developed, they have not found widespread usage in industry tools. Despite the plethora of works available in the literature, many gaps have been on this field have been detected. This work aims at filling these gaps by developing or analysing novel solution techniques for the Power Flow problem. Some of the studied techniques have been developed in the context of this work, while others are already available in the literature but they have not been considered as Power Flow solvers yet.
