Flowchart for Fast Decoupled Load Flow Algorithm
The following steps describe the Fast Decoupled Load Flow (FDLF) algorithm. You can use
these steps to draw a flowchart with standard flowchart symbols.
1. Step 1: Start
2. Step 2: Input system data (bus types, line data, Y-bus formation)
3. Step 3: Initialize voltages |V| and angles δ, set tolerance ε
4. Step 4: Compute power mismatches ΔP and ΔQ
5. Step 5: Solve for angle correction:
Δδ = (B')⁻¹ (ΔP / |V|)
6. Step 6: Update bus angles:
δ(new) = δ(old) + Δδ
7. Step 7: Solve for voltage magnitude correction:
Δ|V| = (B'')⁻¹ (ΔQ / |V|)
8. Step 8: Update voltage magnitudes:
|V|(new) = |V|(old) + Δ|V|
9. Step 9: Check convergence condition:
If max(|ΔP|, |ΔQ|) < ε → Yes: Go to Step 9, No: Return to Step 4
10. Step 10: Compute slack bus power, line flows, and losses
11. Step 11: Stop
