J.B.V. SUBRAHMANYAM and C. RADHAKRISHNA
Abstract - This paper presents a simple approach for modeling of distribution transformer in the three phase power flow algorithm
of unbalanced radial power distribution systems. For the transformer modeling symmetrical components theory is used and zero
sequence voltage and current updating for the power flow method is described. The method presented in this paper can solve the
voltage/current equations in the power flow algorithm for various types of transformer configurations. The validity and
effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on a simple two-bus balanced and unbalanced system for grounded wye-delta
and delta-grounded wye transformer connections and on the IEEE 37 bus unbalanced radial distribution system. Results are in
agreement with the literature and show that the proposed model is valid and reliable.
Keywords - Distribution system, distribution transformer, three-phase load flow analysis, symmetrical components.

INTRODUCTION
Load flow analysis is an important task for power
system planning and operation studies [1]. Certain
applications, particularly distribution automation and
optimization of a power system, require repeated load
flow solution and in these applications, it is very
important to solve the load flow problem as efficiently
as possible. The distribution system has some
characteristic features such as radial structure, high R/X
ratio, untransposed lines and unbalanced loads along
with single-phase and two-phase laterals. And also due
to the unbalance, distribution network matrices are ill
conditioned. Because of these features of distribution
networks, the conventional load flow methods such as;
Newton-Raphson and Gauss-Seidel methods generally
fail to converge in solving such networks. Recently
many researchers have paid attention to obtain the load
flow solution of distribution networks and various
methods are available in the literature to carry out the
load flow analysis of three-phase radial distribution
systems [2-15, 24]. These methods can be categorized
as the Z bus based methods [2-3, 13-14], the Newton
Raphson based methods [5, 7, 9, 10, 15], and the
Forward/ Backward sweep-based methods [4, 6, 8, 11,
12, 24].
Due to its low memory requirements, computation
efficiency and robust convergence characteristic,
Forward/Backward sweep-based methods have gained
the most popularity for distribution load flow analysis
in recent years. In these methods the problem of how to
handle distribution transformers of various winding
connections is the key to the unbalanced systems with

multi voltage levels. In the past decades, several
methods for the modelling of three-phase transformers
have been proposed [17-28] as an alternative to the
classical modelling approach which is based on proper
modification of the nodal admittance matrices of the
transformers [16].
The implementation of nodal admittance matrices
based modelling of transformers [16-18, 20, 22, 25-28]
to the forward/backward sweep based methods is
proven to be difficult to employ and claimed to be
unsatisfactory due to relatively slow convergence
problems [27]. It may also cause singularity in the
connection matrix which appears on some special
connection types such as; delta-grounded wye or
grounded wye-delta transformers. The authors of [19,
21, 23, 24] employ different approaches to model
distribution transformers in a branch current based
feeder analysis. In study [19], voltage and current
equations were developed for three of the most
commonly used transformer connections based on their
equivalent circuits.
In studies [21, 23, 24], voltage/current equations
were derived in the matrix form for transformers of the
ungrounded wye-delta connections. However, these
methods are mainly based on circuit analysis with
Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws. They are in need
to derive the individual formulae for different winding
connections from scratch.
In this paper, symmetrical components model of
distribution transformers is used for modeling and
incorporated into the unbalanced power flow methods.
General information about the symmetrical components
model of three-phase transformers is presented in
Section 2. In section 3 and 4 a detailed description of

modeling procedure is explained in detail. Extensive
computation and comparisons have been done to verify
the approach, and the results are presented in Section 5.

SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS MODEL
OF THREE PHASE TRANSFORMERS
The method of symmetrical components, first
applied to power system by C.L. Fortescue [29] in
1918, is a powerful technique for analyzing unbalanced
three-phase systems. Fortescue defined a linear
transformation from phase components to a new set of
sequence components. The advantage of this
transformation is that for balanced three phase networks
the equivalent circuits obtained for the symmetrical
components, called sequence networks, are separated
into three uncoupled networks. As a result, sequence
networks for many cases of unbalanced three phase
systems are relatively easy to analyze.
The transformation between the phases and
sequence components are defined by;

symmetrical components under the assumption that the
power system is sufficiently balanced. The typical
symmetrical component models of the transformers for
the most common three-phase connections were given
in [30].

THREE PHASE POWER FLOW METHOD
Although the proposed algorithm can be extended
to solve systems with loops and distributed generation
buses, a radial network with only one voltage source is
used here to depict the principles of the algorithm. Such
a system can be modeled as a tree, in which the root is
the voltage source and the branches can be a segment of
feeder, a transformer, a shunt capacitor, or other
components between two buses. With the given voltage
magnitude and phase angle at the root and known
system load information, the power flow algorithm
needs to determine the voltages at all other buses and
currents in each branch. The proposed algorithm
employs an iterative method to update bus voltages and
branch currents. Several common connections of threephase transformers are modeled using the nodal
admittance matrices or different approaches employed
in a branch current based feeder analysis for
distribution system load flow calculation. The grounded
Wye-grounded Wye (GY-GY), grounded Wye-Delta
(GY-D), and Delta-grounded Wye (D-GY) connection
type transformers are most commonly used in the
distribution systems. In the proposed method there is no
need to use the nodal admittance matrices when the
GY-GY connection is used for distribution
transformers. The phase impedance matrices of
transformer can be used directly in the algorithm. The
other type of transformer connections needs to be
modeled and adapted to the power flow algorithm. In
this section, symmetrical components modeling for
distribution transformers of GY-D and D-GY winding
configurations are implemented into power flow
algorithm given in section IV.

forward/backward substitution power flow method [28]
and the results obtained were compared. A two-bus

three-phase standard test system, given in fig. 1, is
used, and for simplification, the transformer in the
sample system is assumed to be at nominal rating,
therefore, the taps on the primary and secondary sides
are equal to 1.0. In addition, the voltage of the swing
bus (bus p) is assumed to be 1.0 pu and load is
balanced. The magnitudes and phase angles of bus‘s’
are given in Table 1 for each iteration. Secondly the
connection of transformer is changed to delta- grounded
wye, and the load is unbalanced, 50% load on phase A,
30% load on phase B, and 20% load on phase C, the
results are given in Table 2. It is observed that results
obtained match very well with those listed in the study
[28] and the proposed algorithm can reach the tolerance
of 0.00001 at fourth iteration. On the other hand, in the
results of the study [28], the voltages do not reach this
tolerance value for these two connection types.

minimum voltage in phase A, B, and C are 1.0212,
1.0309, and 1.354 respectively. The active power loss
