NONLINEAR SOLUTION: NEWTON RAPHSON METHOD

By
DR AZIAH KHAMIS
lEach iteration is relatively fast (computational
order is proportional to number of branches +
number of buses in the system).
lRelatively easy to program.

2
lTends to converge relatively slowly, although this can be improved
with acceleration.
lHas tendency to fail to find solutions, particularly on large systems.
lTends to diverge on cases with negative branch reactances
(common with compensated lines).
lNeed to program using complex numbers.
lGauss and Gauss-Seidel mostly replaced by Newton-Raphson.

NEWTON RAPHSON POWER FLOW SOLUTION
§Advantages
ü less number of iteration to reach
convergence, takes less computation time
üMore accurate and not sensitive to the
factors likes slack bus selection, regulation
transformer, the number of iteration
required is almost independent of system
size
NEWTON RAPHSON POWER FLOW SOLUTION
§Disadvantages
ü more calculations involved in each
iteration and require large computation
time per iteration and large computer
memory
üDifficult solution technique
(programming is difficult)

u difference in schedule to calculated power

l New estimates for the voltages


BUS TYPE AND THE JACOBIAN FORMATION
Slack Bus / Swing Bus
u one generator bus must be selected and defined as the voltage and angular reference
n The voltage and angle are known for this bus
n The angle is arbitrarily selected as zero degrees
n bus is not included in the Jacobian matrix formation
Generator Bus
n have known terminal voltage and real (actual) power injection
n the bus voltage angle and reactive power injection are computed
n bus is included in the real power parts of the Jacobian matrix
Load Bus
n have known real and reactive power injections
n bus is fully included in the Jacobian matrix
NEWTON-RAPHSON STEPS
1. Set flat start
u For load buses, set voltages equal to the slack bus
or 1.0 ∟0
u For generator buses, set the angles equal the
slack bus or 0
2. Calculate power mismatch
u For load buses, calculate P and Q injections using
the known and estimated system voltages
u For generator buses, calculate P injections
u Obtain the power mismatches, P and Q
3. Form the Jacobian matrix
u Use the various equations for the partial derivatives w.r.t. the
voltage angles and magnitudes
NEWTON-RAPHSON STEPS
4. Find the matrix solution (choose a or b)
u a. inverse the Jacobian matrix and multiply by the mismatch power
u b. perform gaussian elimination on the Jacobian matrix with the vector
equal to the mismatch power
compute

5. Find new estimates for the voltage magnitude and angle


6. Repeat the process until the mismatch (residuals) are less than
the specified accuracy
LINE FLOWS AND LOSSES
l After solving for bus voltages and angles, power flows
and losses on the network branches are calculated
u Transmission lines and transformers are network branches
u The direction of positive current flow are defined as follows for a
branch element (demonstrated on a medium length line)
u Power flow is defined for end of the branch
n Example: The power leaving bus i and flowing to bus j
