Abstract: A smart power flow solver integrates the TRUST-TECH based power flow methodology into a power flow solution. A first solver is applied to a power flow problem of a power system. If results of the first solver diverge, A Trust-Tech based solver is applied to the power flow problem by: transforming the power flow problem to an unconstrained global optimization problem; iteratively solving a dynamical system associated with the unconstrained global optimization problem; and determining whether a solution exists for the power flow problem based on whether the iteratively solving of the dynamical system converges. If a solution exists for the power flow problem, a second solver is then applied to the power flow problem. An operating state of the power system is generated based on results of the second solver to enable proper operation of the power system.

Abstract: In the present invention, in a case where a stable equilibrium point calculation is not calculable by using a Newton method, a damping factor of a mechanical system differential equation of a generator is set to be greater than an actual value of the generator of the power system. By applying pseudo-transient simulation to the nonlinear differential algebraic equation of the power system including the mechanical system differential equation of the generator, in which the damping factor is set, a norm of a mechanical system equation is found. If the found norm meets a predetermined condition, variable values of the power system at a time when the norm is found are set as initial values of the nonlinear differential algebraic equation of the power system. A stable equilibrium point is determined by applying the Newton method to the nonlinear differential algebraic equation in which the initial values are set.
