Power System Load Flow Analysis Using an Excel Workbook

Abstract

The paper describes the development and features of an MS-Excel Workbook (available at www.reseeds.com ), which illustrates four methods of power system load flow analysis. Iterative techniques are represented by the Newton-Raphson and Gauss-Seidel methods. The Workbook also includes two search algorithms: genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. </jats:p
