Description

To the best of my knowledge there is no power flow calculation with a distributed slack bus in matpower. I am thinking about making a contribution in this regard. Is it enough to implement a power flow with distributed slack bus in only one algorithm (e.g. newton (power, polar))?

At my own fork of the matpower repository I created a pull request with a concept/idea on how to implement a power flow with a distributed slack bus. I would appreciate it if you have a quick look and give me some feedback.

Research direction

Review the distributed-slack-bus concept in the pull request at the author's fork first. Clarify which power-flow algorithms and acceptance criteria are in scope; completion would require an agreed implementation and validation plan.
