Lecture 3 - Forward Backward Sweep Method

1. Distribution load flow methods include forward/backward sweep methods, methods based on sensitivity matrices, and bus impedance network methods. 2. Forward/backward sweep methods model the distribution system as a tree with the slack bus at the root and leaves at the far nodes, summing currents or powers from leaves to root in the backward sweep and calculating voltages from root to leaves in the forward sweep. 3. Solution methods include Kirchhoff's law based current summation and power summation, with the current summation method computing nodal voltages starting from the slack bus voltage and moving towards leaves using nodal current injections.

Distribution Load Flow Methods

1. Forward/backward sweep methods

2. Load Flow Based on Sensitivity Matrix for


Mismatch Calculation

3. Bus Impedance Network


Forward/backward sweep methods
• Distribution system is modeled as a tree.
• The slack bus is the root of the tree and the far
away nodes as the leaves
• Weakly meshed networks are converted into the
radial networks by breaking the loop.
• The backward sweep sums either the line
currents or the load powers from the leaf to the
root.
• The forward sweep calculates the node voltage
from root towards the leaves.
Nodes Identification
• For branch power calculations, the adjacent
nodes and branches of every node are
identified with the help of different
algorithms:
– Branch and node-oriented method
– (Reverse) Breadth first search method
– ……..

Solution Methods
1. Kirchhoff’s Law based method (Current
Summation Method)
2. Power Summation method
Algorithm 1: Kirchhoff’s Law Based
• Select the slack bus(root) and assume initial
voltage and its angle at the root node and the
other buses.
• Compute nodal current injections using:

• Start from the root node with known slack bus


voltage and move towards leaves (Feeder and
lateral ends)
• Calculate the voltage at any node ‘j’ using:

• Compute power mismatch and check the


termination criteria using:

• If the termination criteria is not met, then


repeat the process.
