Simultaneous Method Sequential Method

The document compares simultaneous and sequential methods for solving AC and DC power flow equations. The simultaneous method solves the AC and DC equations together using Jacobian matrices and Newton's method. It is the fastest method when DC links are weak. However, it is difficult to modify and requires changes to power flow software. The sequential method solves the AC and DC equations separately in variations. It is slower than simultaneous but easier to modify and update equations. The sequential method is most commonly used for load flow analysis.
