To reduce the overestimation of bounds yielded by correlation of variables in interval arithmetic (IA), affine arithmetic (AA) is applied in this study to carry out tests of distribution system power flow. Compared with the algorithm based on IA, the proposed algorithm narrows the gap between the upper and lower bounds of the power flow solution. IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus test systems are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.} }
