ABSTRACT
An application of parallel processing to the load flow problem
is for
reducing the computation time. The bordered block diagonal form
(BBDF) matrix of the Jacobian matrix is quite suitable for
parallel processors
implemention. However, effectively solving the cutset block of a
BBDF matrix through iteration and transfer in parallel is a
relatively difficult and time-consuming task. To improve
the above method, a novel parallel algorithm based on
applying Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) is proposed in this
thesis for solving the continuation load flow problem. For
identifying the measurement value of the PMUs, the
sensitivity factors method is used. The varying subset can
be solved by parallel processing. Simulation results of the
Taiwan Power Company and IEEE test systems are presented to
illustrate the performance of the proposed method and its
capability to implement parallel processing on the
continuation load flow problem.
