This paper represents a novel two-way linked list-based modified load flow method for radial distribution systems. The proposed technique essentially uses the method of direct approach for basic power flow calculations. As it combines the method of direct approach and a “two-way linked list”, the proposed method is both computationally efficient as well as capable of tracking the direction of current flow in the feeders dynamically. The proposed method is quite able to take care of the changes in the configuration of the distribution system under study efficiently. The comparative study of simulation has been applied to four distribution test systems i.e. 10-bus, 13-bus, 33-bus, and 173-bus test systems, it is found that the accuracy of the developed technique is quite close to those obtained by the other methods reported in the literature while the speed of execution of this method is more than those obtained by the other reported methods. The comparative Simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB software and the developed method is found to be more accurate.
