G-S two iterations, lines 0.02+j0.11

Short answer

After two G-S iterations: V2 = 1.030∠1.93° pu, Q2 = 0.1798 pu; V3 = 0.989∠-2.48° pu. With flat start, Q2 is computed each iteration and V2 magnitude reset to 1.03 pu. Slack bus power is determined from final voltages and Y-bus.

Perform the two iteration of Gauss-Seidal load flow analysis for the data table given below to find the unknown variables of the buses. Line impedance of each line is (0.02+j0.11) pu. All data are in per unit and have usual meanings.

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=0.020+j0.110z = 0.020 + 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.
