Abstract

This paper compares the performance (solution accuracy and computational efficiency) of two hybrid methods (HMs) for probabilistic load flow (PLF) considering a mixture of discrete as well as correlated Gaussian and non-Gaussian input random variables. The PLF is accomplished on IEEE 118-bus test system with photovoltaic arrays installed at specific buses. The results of the HMs are compared with that of the existing methods such as combined cumulant and Gram-Charlier method, combined cumulant and Cornish-Fisher method, dependent discrete convolution method, and Monte Carlo simulation.
