Investigating Continuous Power Flow Solutions of IEEE-14 Bus System

Abstract

This letter focuses on the multiplicity of power flow (PF) equations and presents two continuous solutions for widely studied IEEE-14 bus system. The continuous solutions are located by a method combining the semidefinite program (SDP) relaxation and reformulation linearization technique (RLT). Although the observation is non-trivial, it is of interest to researchers investigating the geometry or multiplicity nature of PF equations.
