contents As an effective emulator of ill-conditioned power flow, continuous Newton methods (CNMs) have been extensively investigated using explicit and implicit numerical integration algorithms. Explicit CNMs are prone to non-convergence issues due to their limited stable region, while implicit CNMs introduce additional iteration-loops of nonlinear equations. Faced with this, we propose a semi-implicit version of CNM. We formulate the power flow equations as a set of differential algebraic equations (DAEs), and solve the DAEs with the stiffly accurate Rosenbrock type method (SARM). The proposed method succeeds the numerical robustness from the implicit CNM framework while prevents the iterative solution of nonlinear systems, hence revealing higher convergence speed and computation efficiency. A new 4-stage 3rd-order hyper-stable SARM, together with a 2nd-order embedded formula to control the step size, is constructed to further accelerate convergence by tuning the damping factor. Case studies on ill-conditioned systems verified the alleged performance. An algorithm extension for MATPOWER is made available on Github for benchmarking.
