Tap-Changing transformer
A tap changing transformer makes the
admitance matrix dependent on the
transformer parameter t.
The Jacobian matrix also depends on t.

General building rules
1. Self admittance of node i, , equals the
algebraic sum of all the admittances
connected to node i
2. Mutual admittance between nodes i and
k, , equals the negative of the sum of
all admittances connecting nodes i and k

Tap-changing transformer
The admitance matrix depend on t.
The Jacobian matrix has a new column.
The new variable (t) replace the voltage value
at the corresponding PQ bus.
22 July 2011 125
Tap-changing transformer
Increment t is divided by t to improve
computational efficiency.
The Jacobian matrix maintains its # of column
& rows.
The variable t is considered in the last place.

The Jacobian matrix blocks are:
H, N, M & L are the standard blocks.
Submatrix C & D have as many columns as

Tap-changing transformer
Iterative procedure analogous, but:
If t hit any of its limit, it is fixed to the limit &
the corresponding bus becomes PQ.
If the procedure converge, fix t at its closest
integer value & continues the iteration with
that t fixed.

22 July 2011 154
Fast decoupled AC load flow
Two simplifications:
Do not build Jacobian at each iteration (small error
introduced, then, the procedure needs more
iterations to reach the solution)
Decoupling between P- and Q-V (not
recommended in system highly loaded and/or with
low voltage levels)

8. Comparison of load flow
solution methods
22 July 2011 206
Comparison of load flow methods
1. Gauss-Seidel (G-S)
Simple technique
Iteration time increases linearly with the
number of buses. Lower iteration time than N-
R. Seven times faster in large systems
Linear rate of convergence. Many iterations
required for getting close to the solution
Number of iteration increases with the
number of buses
22 July 2011 207
Comparison of load flow methods
(Continuation)
2. Newton-Raphson (N-R)
Widely used
Iteration-time increases linearly with the number of
buses
Quadratic rate of convergency. A few iterations for
getting close to the solution
Number of iterations independent of the number of
buses of the system
The Jacobian is a very sparse matrix
Method non-sensitive to slack bus choice and the
presence of series capacitors
Sensitive to initial solution
22 July 2011 208
Comparison of load flow methods
(Continuation)
3. AC decoupled
has to be computed and factorized only once
It requires more iterations than Newton-
Raphson method
Iteration time is 5 times lower than Newton-
Raphsons iteration time
Useful for analyzing topology changes because
can be easily modified
Used in planning and contigency analyses
