Popis: In this paper, the three-phase generalization of a single-phase power flow (named PFPD) developed by the first author is presented. This three-phase formulation is chiefly conceived for HV/EHV transmission network applications, but it preserves a general validity for any power system. An iterative method for the solution achievement is throughout expounded. The algorithm quantitatively aims at investigating the impact of the asymmetrical transmission structures on power systems. This impact is evaluated in terms of voltage and current sequence components. Moreover, discussions on possible improvement actions to enhance the power quality are developed. The algorithm is implemented in Matlab environment and tested by several fictitious networks. Eventually, extensive comparisons in terms of execution time, number of iterations and solution accuracy with the software DIgSILENT PowerFactory are presented.
