The unbalanced nature of distribution systems requires a multiphase load-flow solution capable of handling arbitrary network topologies and providing accurate results. The need for detailed analysis of secondary grid systems found in dense urban areas and the modeling of distribution networks including the subtransmission level requires using highly efficient and large-scale system-capable methods. In this paper, three different load-flow solution algorithms are presented using the modified-augmented-nodal-analysis formulation. The load-flow solution algorithms are compared for the IEEE 8500-node distribution test feeder using a proposed regulator tap control strategy.
