Solving power flow problems with a Matlab implementation of the power system applications data dictionary

This paper implements a power flow application and variations using the IEEE Power System Application Data Dictionary within a Matlab environment. It describes a number of useful data and implementation techniques for a variety of applications. The techniques include the use of very compact and efficient code for the computation of Power Transfer Distribution Factors. Power Transfer Distribution Factors are all important element of present and proposed congestion management strategies for power systems, particularly, when these systems must operate in a deregulated environment.
