A new approach for load flow solution based on a two-step iterative technique

Abstract

Abstract A new approach for solving load flow problem in power system is developed. The presented method is based on a two-step predictor-corrector technique for solving nonlinear equation using the weight combination of mid-point, trapezoidal quadrature formula. The proposed method is applied on typical test systems. The bus voltages are represented by polar and rectangular coordinates system. The results presented show that the convergence of the proposed method is faster than the conventional Newton-Raphson method.
