Object-oriented load flow modeling and implementation for distribution power systems

This This paper presents a new open source algorithm based on object-oriented technique to obtain load flow solution in radially operated distribution networks, in which the decision can chose among three load models: constant impedance, constant power and constant current. The object-oriented technique is chosen due to it's simplicity and easy to program. The implementation of the backward / forward algorithm to solve a distribution load flow the was tested on the IEEE 34 bus system and its simplicity, flexibility and quickness was analyzed.
