G-S first iteration, 3-bus with PV bus

Short answer

After first Gauss-Seidel iteration: Q2 = 0 pu, V2 = 1.0100∠1.1232° pu, V3 = 1.0100∠−0.5730° pu. Slack power injection: P1 = 0.0021 pu, Q1 = 0.3110 pu.

For the system in figure below, perform the load flow analysis for the first iteration by G-S method. [Figure: line 1-2 X = j0.2, line 1-3 X = j0.1, line 2-3 X = j0.1; generators at buses 1 and 2, load at bus 3]

Bus No.VoltageGenerator PGenerator QLoad PLoad Q

Bus 1 is the slack bus (1.03∠0∘1.03\angle 0^\circ), bus 2 a PV bus (P2=0.3P_2 = 0.3 pu, ∣V2∣=1.01|V_2| = 1.01 pu) and bus 3 a PQ bus (P3=−0.4P_3 = -0.4, Q3=−0.2Q_3 = -0.2 pu). Initial values: V2(0)=1.01∠0∘V_2^{(0)} = 1.01\angle 0^\circ, V3(0)=1∠0∘V_3^{(0)} = 1\angle 0^\circ. No Q-limits are given.

At the start the voltages are such that ∑kY2kVk=0\sum_k Y_{2k}V_k = 0, so Q2(1)=0Q_2^{(1)} = 0.

Slack bus power after the first iteration

Total loss = sum of the calculated net injections at all buses (equal to the sum of all line losses):

BusPiP_i (pu)QiQ_i (pu)
10.00210.3110
20.4039-0.0951
3-0.4060-0.1979
Sum0.00000.0180
Ploss=∑Pi=0.0000 puQloss=∑Qi=0.0180 pu\begin{aligned} P_{loss} &= \textstyle\sum P_i = 0.0000\ \text{pu} \\ Q_{loss} &= \textstyle\sum Q_i = 0.0180\ \text{pu} \end{aligned}

(The lines are pure reactances, so the real loss is zero; the small value of P1P_1 is the mismatch of an unconverged first iteration.)

Answer: Q2=0.0000Q_2 = 0.0000 pu, V2=1.0100∠1.1232∘V_2 = 1.0100\angle 1.1232^\circ pu, V3=1.0100∠−0.5730∘V_3 = 1.0100\angle -0.5730^\circ pu, P1=0.0021P_1 = 0.0021 pu, Q1=0.3110Q_1 = 0.3110 pu after the first iteration.
