Sparsity techniques were outlined, and a suggestion of the effects of these techniques on the four algorithms was included. An outline was given of criterion that must be considered before selecting a power flow algorithm.47 leavesBTDapplication/pdfIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1974.D68Power (Mechanics)Thesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-07312009-040212/
