Calculation of Power Loss and Voltage Regulation for Different Static Loads

Abstract

The Voltage regulation and power losses computations for distribution systems are strongly dependent on power flow solutions. The classical constant power load model is typically used in power flow studies of transmission or distribution Systems; however, the actual load of a distribution system cannot just be modeled using constant power models, requiring the use of constant current, constant impedance, exponential or a mixture of all these load models to accurately represent the load. This paper presents a study of voltage regulation and power losses of a distribution system using different Static load models.
