Abstract
This paper presents a method to solve the power flow problem in radial distribution networks. In the proposed formulation, the load flow equations are written in terms of new variables resulting in a set of 3N equations (2N linear plus N quadratic) for a network with N+1 buses. A computationally efficient solution scheme based on the Newton-Raphson method is proposed, and possible simplifications are discussed. Finally, a comparative evaluation of the proposed method's performance against existing algorithms is provided.Keywords
