A new approach for finding connected routes of power network and its application

After taking the element of adjacent matrix as the function of the state of edges in the network structure, the representation of the element in corresponding adjoint matrix has been given an in-depth analysis. With the use of simplifying method on each element in adjoint matrix, the complete connected matrix could be formed equally with the each element as the set of connected routes. Based on the above analysis and processing, the new connected routes finding algorithm is established, which is a systematic method and suitable for all kinds of network connections. Finally, the successful application to substation configuration has validated the efficiency of the novel algorithm in power system topology analysis, in which the connected routes can be formed in off-line way and be used for topology analysis in on-line way. Therefore, the aim to reduce topology analysis time could be achieved.
