A Linear Branch Flow Model for Radial Distribution Networks and Its Application to Reactive Power Optimization and Network Reconfiguration
TLDR
Simulations show that the proposed modified DistFlow model has a better accuracy than existing cold-start linear branch flow models, and the resulting MIQP model for reactive power optimization and network reconfiguration is much more computationally efficient than existing benchmarks.Abstract:
This article presents a cold-start linear branch flow model named modified DistFlow In modified DistFlow, the active and reactive power are replaced by their ratios to voltage magnitude as state variables, so that errors introduced by conventional branch flow linearization approaches due to their complete ignoring of network loss terms are reduced Based on the path-branch incidence matrix, branch power flows and nodal voltage magnitudes can be written in succinct matrix forms Subsequently, the proposed modified DistFlow model is applied to the problem of reactive power optimization and network reconfiguration, transforming it into a mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) Simulations show that the proposed modified DistFlow has a better accuracy than existing cold-start linear branch flow models, and the resulting MIQP model for reactive power optimization and network reconfiguration is much more computationally efficient than existing benchmarksread more
