Gauss-Seidel Load Flow� Gauss-Seidel Voltage Equations of the form shown in (6)
are written for all buses except for the swing bus. The solution proceeds iteratively from an estimate of all bus voltages
� For a Load Bus (Type 3) whose real power and reactive power are specified, the G-S voltage equation is used directly to compute the next estimate of the bus voltage.
� For a Generator Bus (Type 2) where the voltage magnitude is specified, an estimate of Qp must be determined first. This estimate is then compared with the reactive power limits of the generator. If it falls within the limits, the specified voltage is maintained and the computed Qp is inputted, in the Gauss-Seidel equation. Otherwise, the reactive power is set to an appropriate limit (Qmin or Qmax) and the bus is treated as a load bus in the current iteration.

2. Real Power is drawn from the bus (Motor Operation), δ must be negative (Ei lags Vt)
3. In actual operation, the numeric value of δ is small & since the slope of Sine function is maximum for small values, a minute change in δ can cause a substantial change in Pt
