10Distribution Feeder Analysis

The analysis of a distribution feeder will typically consist of a study of the feeder under normal steady-state operating conditions (power-flow analysis) and a study of the feeder under short-circuit conditions (short-circuit analysis). Models of all of the components of a distribution feeder have been developed in previous chapters. These models will be applied for the analysis under steady-state and short-circuit conditions.

10.1 Power-Flow Analysis

The power-flow analysis of a distribution feeder is similar to that of an interconnected transmission system. Typically, what will be known prior to the analysis will be the three-phase voltages at the substation and the complex power of all of the loads and the ...
