A modified Newton method for radial distribution system power flow analysis
Abstract
A modified Newton method for radial distribution systems is derived in which the Jacobian matrix is in UDU/sup T/ form, where U is a constant upper triangular matrix depending solely on system topology and D is a block diagonal matrix. With this formulation, the conventional steps of forming the Jacobian matrix, LU factorization and forward/back substitution are replaced by back/forward sweeps on radial feeders with equivalent impedances. Tests on several large distribution systems ranged from 490 to 1651 in nodes, 0.15 to 5.48 in r/x ratio and 0.0004 /spl Omega/ to 3.07 /spl Omega/ in line impedance have shown that the proposed method is as robust and efficient as the back/forward sweep method. The proposed method can be applied to other applications, such as state estimation. The proposed method can also be extended to the solution of systems with loops, dispersed generators and three phase (unbalanced) representation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
