Abstract
This paper presents a new sparse formulation for the solution of unbalanced three-phase power systems using the Newton-Raphson method. The three-phase current injection equations are written in rectangular coordinates resulti ng in an order 6n system of equations. The Jacobian matrix is composed of 6 x 6 block matrices and retains the same structure as the nodal admittance matrix. Practical distribution systems were used to test the method and to compare its robustness with that of the backward/forward sweep method.
