G-S two iterations, lines 0.026+j0.11

Short answer

Using flat start, after first Gauss‑Seidel iteration: Q2 = 0.2660 pu; V2 = 1.0300∠2.75° pu (magnitude reset to 1.03); V3 = 0.9869∠−2.02° pu.

Perform the two iterations of gauss-seidal load flow analysis for the data table given below to find the unknown variables of the busses after first iteration. Line impedance of each line is (0.026 + j0.11) pu.

Bus 1 is the slack bus, bus 2 a PV (generator) bus and bus 3 a PQ (load) bus. Lines 1-2, 2-3 and 3-1 each have z=0.026+j0.110z = 0.026 + j0.110 pu (no shunt admittance given). Gauss-Seidel is used with no acceleration factor and no Q-limits (none are given).

Gauss-Seidel iterations

For the PV bus, Q2Q_2 is calculated first, then V2V_2 is found and its magnitude reset to 1.03 pu, keeping the new angle. Bus 3 uses the newest V2V_2.
