Contents

In this paper, orthogonalisation of sparse matrices by a modified Given's method is discussed, a reordering policy to minimize fill-in is postulated and Shamanski's method is extended to orthogonalisation. The method so defined is compared to “Optimally Ordered Factorisation” as used at present for load-flow, economic-dispatch, short-circuit and state-estimation calculations. The comparison of efficiency (time), storage space required and accuracy shows that the method advocated here is often better.

Übersicht

In diesem Aufsatz wird die modifizierte Methode der Orthogonalisierung von Givens beschrieben, eine Umordnungs-Strategie zur Minimierung der aufgefüllten Matrix-Elemente festgelegt und die Methode von Shamanski für die Orthogonalisierung erweitert. Die so definierte Methode wird verglichen mit der optimal gezielten Faktorisierung, wie sie heutzutage für Lastfluß, Verbundbetrieb-Optimierung, Kurzschluß-und Zustandsberechnungen benutzt wird. Der Vergleich von Berechnungszeit, Speicherbedarf und Genauigkeit zeigt, daß die hier vorgeschlagene Methode öfters besser als die Faktorisierung ist.
