Investigation of Diakoptics as a resourceful tool in power system analysis

Abstract

The resourcefulness of Diakoptics as a tool with the potential ability to meet the challenges of modern power system analysis is outlined. The benefits include the generally accepted saving in computation time, but higher accuracy and the ability to use multicomputer configurations in analyses are highlighted. One of the reasons for the non-acceptance of Diakoptics as a universal tool is said to be the difficulty in understanding the concept. The concept is demonstrated using simple illustrative examples that are easy to understand and verify.
