Abstract

The work is intended to extend the application of a smart transformer on a radialdistribution system. In this paper, an updated algorithm on the backward/forward powerflow is introduced. The so-called direct approach of power flow is employed and analyzed.In addition, the paper focused on integrating a smart transformer to the network and solvingthe updating network also using the direct approach load flow. The solution of the smarttransformer using the direct approach power flow method is quite straightforward. Thismodel is applied to radial distribution systems which are the IEEE 33- and IEEE 69-bussystems as a case study. Also, the paper optimizes the best allocation of the smart transformerto reduce the power losses of the grid.
