Abstract

In order to study the impact of single-phase nonlinear loads and sources in large-scale distribution systems, a hierarchical decomposed iterative simulation methodology is outlined. The distribution network up to the PCC is computed in the frequency domain, whereas the customer subsystems are treated as a whole in the time domain. The customer subsystems are generated using statistical methods applied to standard load categories. The methodology is illustrated in an example
