摘要
The holomorphic embedding method(HEM)stands as a mathematical technique renowned for its favorable convergence properties when resolving algebraic systems involving complex variables.The key idea behind the HEM is to convert the task of solving complex algebraic equations into a series expansion involving one or multiple embedded complex variables.This transformation empowers the utilization of complex analysis tools to tackle the original problem effectively.Since the 2010s,the HEM has been applied to steady-state and dynamic problems in power systems and has shown superior convergence and robustness compared to traditional numerical methods.This paper provides a comprehensive review on the diverse applications of the HEM and its variants reported by the literature in the past decade.The paper discusses both the strengths and limitations of these HEMs and provides guidelines for practical applications.It also outlines the challenges and potential directions for future research in this field.
