Abstract

The radial network is the one which passes through the network without any connection to other supply. It is used for isolated loads like rural areas. Different forward-backward sweep algorithms exist for the load flow analysis of radial distribution systems. A new method of load flow analysis for radial distribution system is explained in this paper. This method is worked out by considering voltage independent loads and voltage dependency loads. The voltage profile results of the proposed method are compared with ratio flow method. Adequate simulations are performed by using Matlab.
