The real homotopy-based method for computing solutions of electric power systems

Presents a real homotopy-based method to calculate the roots of any system of polynomial equations in n real variables. This method eliminates some of the computational effort required in the existing homotopy- and imbedding-based continuation methods. The method allows for the computation of real solutions of even large-sized deficient polynomial systems. As an example, the method is applied to the load flow analysis of power systems.<
