Application of simplifying jacobian matrix and introducing iterative threshold to improve newton-raphson method in three-phase power flow calculation

Abstract

With the expansion of the scale and complexity of the power system, traditional three-phase power flow calculation methods are facing dual challenges of computational efficiency and accuracy. Power flow calculation is a mathematical method for analyzing the power flow of an electrical system. And the Newton-Raphson (NR) method is an effective algorithm for solving nonlinear problems. However, updating the Jacobian matrix in the NR method can take a lot of time. Based on the asymmetry in three-phase power systems and the time-consuming nature of the NR method, an enhanced version of the NR method is proposed in this paper that improves the efficiency of power flow calculations by simplifying the Jacobian matrix and optimizing the iteration speed. Furthermore, in order to minimize the number of iterations in the NR method, it is proposed to use the PO method to determine the ideal iteration threshold.
