Distribution Network Power Flow Calculation Program

The distribution network power flow calculation program is designed for immediate execution with minimal configuration changes. Users can simply modify the input data parameters to adapt the simulation to specific network configurations. This MATLAB-based implementation utilizes Newton-Raphson or backward-forward sweep algorithms to analyze electrical system behavior under varying operational conditions, accurately determining network steady-state performance through iterative voltage and power calculations. The program's core functionality includes bus admittance matrix formation, power flow equations solving, and convergence checking mechanisms. It enables comprehensive analysis of voltage profiles, power losses, and branch current distributions across the distribution network. The algorithm incorporates robust error handling and convergence criteria to ensure reliable results even for radially structured networks with high R/X ratios. This computational tool facilitates identification of potential network issues such as voltage violations, overloaded branches, and power quality concerns. The modular code structure allows for easy integration of distributed generation resources and load variations. By providing precise system state information, the program supports proactive maintenance planning and enhances overall network reliability and safety. The implementation includes detailed comments and configuration files for straightforward adaptation to different distribution system topologies and component parameters.
