Abstract

Probabilistic load flow is becoming a more useful and needed power system analysis technique with the increase of stochastic generation and demand. This paper improves the usefulness of probabilistic load flow by demonstrating an algorithm for modeling voltage regulators within the probabilistic load flow solution. Previously, the voltage regulators have been removed from the system before analysis. The proposed technique is verified by comparing the solutions to those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.
