Three-phase power flow in distribution networks using Fortescue transformation

Analysis of power systems is typically made using the method of either phase coordinates or symmetrical components depending on the type of network (un/symmetrical). The use of the symmetrical components method, a three-phase specific application of the Fortescue transformation, has been limited to pure three-phase symmetrical networks. Therefore phase coordinates has been the method used most for the analysis of distribution networks. This paper is extending the use of the symmetrical components method to distribution networks combining one-phase, two-phase, and three-phase symmetrical network parts. This paper derives a new integrated approach for the description of such networks based on Fortescue transformation. This approach is demonstrated using the forward-backward sweeping algorithm (FBS).
