Nature of Method

 solution: if initial estimate x is within convergent region,


solution will converge in zigzag fashion to one of the
roots
 no solution: if initial estimate x is outside convergent
region, process will diverge, no solution found.

Gauss-Seidel Power Flow Solution


Solution Steps

STEP 1
 Calculate the bus admittance matrix
 Include the admittance of all transmission lines, transformers,
between lines, but exclude the admittance of the loads or
generators themselves
STEP 2
 Select a slack bus
 One of the buses in the power system should be chosen as the slack
bus
 Its voltage will be assumed to be 1.0∟0

Gauss-Seidel Power Flow Solution


Solution Steps

STEP 3
 Select initial estimates for all buses voltages
 The estimate should be reasonable as poor choice may result in
convergence to incorrect values (usually start with 1.0∟0 (flat start))
STEP 4
 Write voltage equation for every other bus in the system
STEP 5
 Calculate and update estimate of the voltage at each load bus in
sequence using the voltage equation

Gauss-Seidel Power Flow Solution


Solution Steps

STEP 6
 Compare the difference between the old voltage and the
estimates
 If the difference between the estimates less than the specified
tolerance for all buses, we are done
STEP 7
 Check that the result is reasonable
 Typical value of phase range is less than 45
 Larger ranges may indicate the system converged to incorrect
solution
 Change the initial condition, try again..
