Abstract
This letter is a proof of concept for quantum power flow (QPF) algorithms which underpin various unprecedentedly efficient power system analytics exploiting quantum computing. Our contributions are three-fold: 1) Establish a quantum-state-based fast decoupled model empowered by Hermitian and constant Jacobian matrices; 2) Devise an enhanced Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithm to solve the fast decoupled QPF; 3) Further improve the HHL efficiency by parameterizing quantum phase estimation and reciprocal rotation only at the beginning stage. Promising test results validate the accuracy and efficacy of QPF and demonstrate QPF's enormous potential in the era of quantum computing.
