This paper presents a novel and effective second order fast decoupled load flow model in polar co-ordinates employing a totally different approach than used in existing second order methods in polar co-ordinates. This work eliminates the need for storing and computing repeatedly the second order terms by prudently injecting the elements of the Hessian matrix into the Jacobian. This results in a memory requirement at par with the usual fast decoupled load flow method. Investigations reveal that for well-behaved systems, the new method and the fast decoupled load flow method have practically the same convergence properties, whereas for certain ill-conditioned systems, the new method shows distinctly better convergence properties.
