An Efficient Power Flow Algorithm for Distribution Systems with Polynomial Load

A new, efficient power flow algorithm for complex distribution systems is presented. Voltage ratio is used for convergence control. This method has fast convergence ability for the polynomial load model for which the traditional Newton-Raphson method is usually not adaptable. Test results show the robustness of the proposed method.
