AB - This paper proposes a generalized approach of the per unit normalization, named complex per unit normalization (cpu), to improve the performance of fast decoupled power flow methods applied to emerging distribution networks. The proposed approach takes into account the changes envisaged and also already faced by distribution systems, such as high penetration of generation sources and more interconnection between feeders, while considering the typical characteristics of distribution systems, as the high R/ X ratios. These characteristics impose difficulties on the performance of both backward-forward sweep and decoupled-based power flow methods. The cpu concept is centred on the use of a complex volt-ampere base, which overcomes the numerical problems raised by the high R/ X ratios of distribution feeders. As a consequence, decoupled power flow methods can be efficiently applied to distribution system analysis. The performance of the proposed technique and the simplicity of adapting it to existing power flow programs are addressed in the paper. Different distribution network configurations and load conditions have been used to illustrate and evaluate the use of cpu.
