[0033] This invention provides a clear starting point for the power grid model by initializing power flow calculation parameters, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the calculations. Acquiring initial state data lays the foundation for subsequent power flow calculations, where parameters such as convergence conditions and upper limits for iterations are crucial for controlling the calculation process and ensuring the reliability of the results. Utilizing the Newton-Raphson method for steady-state power flow calculations is an efficient and widely used numerical method that can accurately simulate power flow in a power system under normal operating conditions. Analyzing the impact of distributed generation on power flow allows us to understand how these sources alter the power distribution and voltage levels of the grid, which is significant for grid planning and operation management. Establishing mathematical models of reactive power compensation devices and voltage regulating transformers allows for a more accurate simulation of their effects on grid voltage and reactive power regulation. Integrating these mathematical models into power flow calculations improves the accuracy of the results and better reflects the performance of the actual power grid under different operating conditions. Designing multiple operating scenarios and performing power flow calculations enables the evaluation of the grid's performance under different conditions, including changes in distributed generation output.
