Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: In conventional load flow analysis, the branch resistances of the test system are considered fixed, despite of the fact that they are temperature and weather conditions dependent. For accurate calculation of power losses and to improve the efficiency of load flow solutions, the effect of ambience conditions on branch resistance should be considered. In this paper, an attempt has been made to incorporate a weather condition while solving radial distribution systems and a modified load flow algorithm is presented that is weather sensitive. This has been tested on Several IEEE RDS system. The results are compared with conventional load flow method and a noticeable change in the active power loss and node voltages were observed when Resistance is considered as a fixed parameter than weather sensitive.

KEYWORDS: Conventional load flow analysis(CLFA), radial distribution system, Weather sensitive load flow analysis(WSLFA).
