Weather Sensitive Load Flow Analysis of Radial Distribution System
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: In conventional load flow analysis, the branch resistances of the test system are considered fixed, despite of the fact that they are temperature and weather conditions dependent. For accurate calculation of power losses and to improve the efficiency of load flow solutions, the effect of ambience conditions on branch resistance should be considered. In this paper, an attempt has been made to incorporate a weather condition while solving radial distribution systems and a modified load flow algorithm is presented that is weather sensitive. This has been tested on Several IEEE RDS system. The results are compared with conventional load flow method and a noticeable change in the active power loss and node voltages were observed when Resistance is considered as a fixed parameter than weather sensitive.
