Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks, 32, 100895. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.segan.2022.100895.2352-4677https://hdl.handle.net/11441/142402The purpose of this work is to compare the classical methods of power flow resolution (Newton–Raphson and Gauss–Seidel) with a more recent algorithm known as Alternating Search Direction (ASD), for which its equations, the steps to follow and the parameters to consider are described. In addition, a series of tests are carried out in different distribution networks where the reduction of execution time, accuracy, and robustness of the presented algorithm is demonstrated, taking as a reference the behavior of the well-known Newton–Raphson algorithm. Finally, the advantage of selecting certain parameters in the ASD algorithm is studied.application/pdf9 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Power flowDistribution systeminfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1016/j.segan.2022.100895
