Robust solving of critical large power flow cases (with 50k or greater buses) forms the backbone of planning and operation of any large connected power grid. At present, reliable convergence with applications of existing power flow tools to large power systems is contingent upon a good initial guess for the system state. To enable robust convergence for large scale systems starting with an arbitrary initial guess, we extend our equivalent circuit formulation for power flow analysis to include a novel continuation method based on transmission line (`Tx') stepping. While various continuation methods have been proposed for use with the traditional `PQV' power flow formulation, these methods have either failed to completely solve the problem or have resulted in convergence to a low voltage solution. The proposed &#x201C;Tx Stepping&#x201D; method in this paper demonstrates robust convergence to the high voltage solution from an arbitrary initial guess. Example systems, including 75k+ bus test cases representing different loading and operating conditions for Eastern Interconnection of the U.S. power grid, are solved from arbitrary initial guesses.
