Problem  Definition :

Figure shows a single line diagram of a 5 bus system with two generating units, seven lines. Per-unit transmission line series impedances and shunt susceptances are given on 100 MVA base in table 1.1. Real power generation, real and reactive power loads in MW and MVAR are given in table 1.2.
With bus 1 as slack, use the following methods to obtain a load flow solution:

  • Gauss-Siedel using Y-bus, with acceleration factors of 1.4 and tolerances of 0.0001 and 0.0001 per unit for the real and imaginary components of voltage.
  • Newton-Raphson using Ybus, with tolerance of 0.01 per unit for the real and reactive bus powers.

System frequency is 60 Hz.
