Abstract
An optimal power flow algorithm for unbalanced three-phase distribution grids is presented in this paper as a new tool for grid planning on low voltage level. As additional equipment like electric vehicles, heat pumps or solar power systems cause unbalanced power flows, existing algorithms have to be adapted. The focus in this paper is on the simulation of energy storage systems in unbalanced systems. The used grid model, constraints, objective function and solver are explained in detail. A validation of the algorithm using a commercial power flow tool is done. Additionally, two exemplary optimizations are performed to show possible applications for this tool.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
