What MATLAB functions can be used to perform load flow analysis for evaluating fitness in capacitor placement optimization

What MATLAB functions can be used to perform load flow analysis for evaluating fitness in capacitor placement optimization.

Answer 1

[recent works]

The runpf function is commonly used for load flow analysis

[V, ~, ~] = runpf(baseMVA, bus, branch, gen, load);
power_loss = sum(branch(:,3).^2 .* branch(:,4)); % Calculate power loss
