Abstract
This paper presents a non-divergent power flow using homotopy continuation method for power system static analysis. During power flow calculation with newly established network data in power system planning, divergence may occur because of the ill-condition by singularity of power flow Jacobian or bad initial guesses. The application of homotopy continuation method can lead the chosen initial guess to a closer solution to power flow equations in hybrid coordinate successfully and can provide further information on the convergence characteristic. This paper includes an illustrative example certifying the effectiveness of the proposed method.
