| Abstract: | This article proposed a new hybrid algorithm for solving power flow tracing (PFT) through the comparison by other techniques. This proposed hybrid strategy in detail discuses over the achieved results. Both methods use the active and reactive power balance equations at each bus to solve the tracing problem, where the first method considers the proportional sharing assumption and the second one considers the circuit laws to find the relationship between power inflows and outflows through each line, generator, and load connected to each bus of the network. Both algorithms are able to handle loop flow and loss issues in tracing the problem. A mathematical formulation is also introduced to find the share of each unit in provision of each load. These algorithms are employed to find the producer and consumer's shares on the cost of transmission for each line in different case studies. As the results of these studies show, both algorithms can effectively solve the PFT problem. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 187–194, 2015 |
