D. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Discusses the operations and planning of power systems is a complex task, mostly with many intricate manoeuvres to ensure reliable network operations such that the active power losses are reduced and the network voltage proles are improved without compromising the network security. Then the question is, what is the role of the inherent structural characteristics in solving power system problems? Although, the inherent structural characteristics of a power system network are embedded within the load flow formulation to some extent, their full capabilities in solving the problems of the network have not been holistically investigated. The fundamental circuit theory law (Ohm's law), which is a linear equation, clearly demonstrates the importance of the structural topology of the network. However, this importance is confounded by the reformulation of the fundamental law to nonlinear load flow equations. This research investigated the role of the inherent structural characteristics in solving power system problems from a circuit theory perspective.
