Abstract

This paper describes a modular algorithm for solution of power systems containing active nonlinear devices such as power converters. The solution is a unified real-valued Newton method allowing simultaneous solution of electrical and nonelectrical variables. The algorithm is demonstrated using the reduced equivalent of a real power system which includes both load-flow busbars and a large uncontrolled rectifier. The solution process is fast, robust and exhibits excellent convergence
