The proposed load flow analysis is easy to implement and does not requires the use of any complex renumbering of branches and nodes, or any matrix calculation, with the only use of linear equations based in the Kirchhoff’s formulation.}, journal = {American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
