The growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into electrical power networks has led to the emergence of multi-vendor distributed power networks (DPNs), where multiple vendors provide generation, storage, and management solutions. Power flow optimization (PFO) in such networks is critical to ensuring efficient energy distribution, reducing power losses, and maintaining voltage stability. However, multi-vendor systems introduce significant challenges, including the need for coordination among different technologies, communication protocols, and optimization strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of power flow optimization methods in DPNs with a focus on multi-vendor environments. We propose a model for optimizing power flow in a multi-vendor distributed power network, considering both technical and vendor-specific constraints. Various optimization techniques, including conventional, advanced, and distributed algorithms, are analyzed and compared. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in enhancing network efficiency. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities in multi-vendor power flow optimization and suggests directions for future research
