RT Journal Article T1 On the Applicability of Two Families of Cubic Techniques for Power Flow Analysis A1 Tostado Véliz, Marcos A1 Kamel, Salah A1 Jurado, Francisco A1 Ruiz Rodríguez, Francisco Javier AB This work presents a comprehensive analysis of two cubic techniques for Power Flow (PF)studies. In this regard, the families of Weerakoon‐like and Darvishi‐like techniques are considered.Several theoretical findings are presented and posteriorly confirmed by multiple numerical results.Based on the obtained results, the Weerakoon’s technique is considered more reliable than the New‐ton‐Raphson and Darvishi’s methods. As counterpart, it presents a high computational burden. Re‐garding this point, the Darvishi’s technique has turned out to be quite efficient and fully competitivewith the Newton’s scheme PB MDPI SN 1996-1073 (electrónico) YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/20023 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/20023 LA eng NO Tostado-Véliz, M., Kamel, S., Jurado, F., & Ruiz-Rodriguez, F.
