phase angle are both relatively weak. This weak coupling is utilized in the development of the
so called decoupled methods. Recalling equitation (5.79)
by neglecting Nand M sub matrices as a first step, decoupling can be obtained .so that
I f1P I = I HI· IMI
and I f1Q I = I L I . I f1 I VI/I V I

The decoupled method converges as reliability as the original Newton method from
which
it is derived. However, for very high accuracy the method requires more iterations
because overall quadratic convergence
is lost. The decoupled Newton method saves by a
factor
of four on the storage for the J
-matrix and its triangulation. But, the overall saving is
35 to 50% of storage when compared to the original Newton method. The computation per
iteration
is
10 to 20% less than for the original Newton method.
5.14 Fast DecoupJed Methods
For security monitoring and outage-contingency evaluation studies, fast load flow solutions
are required. A method developed for such an application
is described in this section.
