Complex-valued sensitivity analysis tool aimed to power flow optimization

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the use of complex differentiation is presented as a robust and concise tool for modeling and sensitivity analysis of large-scale electrical networks. A complex power flow model was employed to determine the network’s operating point, from which the sensitivity analysis of the electrical system is conducted. The proposed methodology, utilizing complex differentiation, was applied to two systems with data extracted from the MATPOWER software. The obtained results are depicted in a network topology graph, highlighting the identified sensitivities.
