DR AZIAH KHAMIS
lEach iteration is relatively fast (computational
order is proportional to number of branches +
number of buses in the system).
lRelatively easy to program.

lTends to converge relatively slowly, although this can be improved
with acceleration.
lHas tendency to fail to find solutions, particularly on large systems.
lTends to diverge on cases with negative branch reactances
(common with compensated lines).
lNeed to program using complex numbers.
lGauss and Gauss-Seidel mostly replaced by Newton-Raphson.

NEWTON RAPHSON POWER FLOW SOLUTION
§Advantages
ü less number of iteration to reach
convergence, takes less computation time
üMore accurate and not sensitive to the
factors likes slack bus selection, regulation
transformer, the number of iteration
required is almost independent of system
size
NEWTON RAPHSON POWER FLOW SOLUTION
§Disadvantages
ü more calculations involved in each
iteration and require large computation
time per iteration and large computer
memory
üDifficult solution technique
(programming is difficult)
