Nature of Method
STEP 1
Calculate the bus admittance matrix
Include the admittance of all transmission lines, transformers,
between lines, but exclude the admittance of the loads or
generators themselves
STEP 2
Select a slack bus
One of the buses in the power system should be chosen as the slack
bus
Its voltage will be assumed to be 1.0∟0
STEP 3
Select initial estimates for all buses voltages
The estimate should be reasonable as poor choice may result in
convergence to incorrect values (usually start with 1.0∟0 (flat start))
STEP 4
Write voltage equation for every other bus in the system
STEP 5
Calculate and update estimate of the voltage at each load bus in
sequence using the voltage equation
STEP 6
Compare the difference between the old voltage and the
estimates
If the difference between the estimates less than the specified
tolerance for all buses, we are done
STEP 7
Check that the result is reasonable
Typical value of phase range is less than 45
Larger ranges may indicate the system converged to incorrect
solution
Change the initial condition, try again..
