Abstract

Power Flow solutions based on Fortescue´s Method of Symmetrical Components have been so far limited only to three-phase transmission networks. Complete network solution could be reached only by applying standard methods based on phase coordinate system. This paper shows that it is possible to apply Fortescue´s General Transformations for power flow solution on complete network. Special matrices for handling distribution network configurations are derived. Presented approach offers greater computational performances when solving power flow problem in distribution networks.
