Thanks Shri for your reply and the nice trick you mentioned; I never thought
about it.
How about using continuation power flow instead of a regular power flow? Is it
possible to use it for this kind of problem? As you know, CPF is widely used to
solve low voltage problem. Any idea?
Thank you
Ismael,
Power flow with loads modeled as “constant power” faces convergence issue
when the voltages are low. A common trick is to convert constant power loads to
constant impedance loads for low voltages. In MATPOWER, you can convert all the
loads to constant impedance using the options
Dear Matpower community,
I am a Ph.D. student working in power system dynamic analysis. I use Matpower
for computing the initial values of the system variables.
I want to find the initial values of the algebraic variables (voltage
magnitude, voltage angle, generator current phasors...) at
