That’s correct. In the current form distribution power flow methods solve only radial systems with or without distributed generation at some buses. The 6 cases you mentioned are all radial. If you try to solve other case you will get an error stating that there are loops in the network and it can't be solved.
I hope that soon I'll be able to extend the solvers so that they can solve weakly meshed distribution networks. Best regards, Mirko On Tue, 2017-06-27 at 20:39 +0000, Andrey Vieira wrote: > Hi All.
