Abstract

This paper presents three different true nonlinear reduction methods to obtain network equivalents for radial (distribution-type) networks (using the holomorphically embedded power flow algorithm), which are exact, given computational precision limitations, even when the loads and the real-power generations are scaled. The proposed reduction methods are applied in this paper to reduce a radial distribution system and provide a two-bus-model equivalent which accurately models the real and reactive power load seen at the transmission network due to random changes in the distribution system load. Numerical results are provided for a radial 14-bus system to show the accuracy of the proposed methods in preserving voltages and slack bus power. The approach is shown to have better performance than Ward reduction even when the loads are increased in a random manner.
