Power is generated at the transmission system and at several substations converted to the distribution systems. The increasing amount of generation produced at distribution level can eventually effect the transmission network. An integrated model of both systems can help studying these effects and prevent harmful events on the power system. Transmission and Distribution systems differ significantly from each other. Where transmission systems are assumed to be balanced and therefore modeled as a single-phase system, the distribution systems are in general unbalanced and should be modeled in three-phase. Furthermore, high R/X ratios of distribution lines, the lower voltage level, the radial structure and the presence of unbalanced loading lead to different solution techniques. Connecting these two systems pose complications for both the solution method and the connection method. In this report, we present several methods to solve the integrated Transmission-Distribution system. One of them is to omit the simplifications we can make in a transmission system and solve both systems as a three-phase system. Another method is to use a master-slave splitting approach and solve both systems iteratively, using a boundary state. A last method is building an interconnected network which solves the system at once, respecting both the transmission and distribution conditions. Some artificial currents and voltages have to be injected on the boundary. We compare the different methods on CPU-time, convergence, accuracy and complexity and present the preferable method for the specific network criteria.
