Abstract

Over the past few decades, load flow algorithms for radial distribution networks have been an area of interest for researches, which has led to improvement in the approach and results for the problem. Different procedures and algorithms have been followed in lieu of performance enhancement in terms of simplicity of implementation, execution time, and memory space requirements. The implementation of load flow algorithm using CUDA parallel programming architecture for a radial distribution network is discussed. The computations involved in serial algorithm for load current, branch impedances, etc., have been parallelized using CUDA programming model. The end result will be an improvement in execution time of the algorithm as compared to the running time of the algorithm over CPU. Finally, a comparison has been drawn between the serial and parallel approaches, where an improvement in execution time has been shown over the functions involved in computations.
