In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.
algorithm Gauss–Seidel method is inputs: A, b output: φ Choose an initial guess φ to the solution repeat until convergence for i from 1 until n do σ ← 0 for j from 1 until n do if j ≠ i then σ ← σ + a ij φ j end if end (j-loop) φ i ← (b i − σ) / a ii end (i-loop) check if convergence is reached end (repeat)
The Holomorphic Embedding Load-flow Method (HELM) [note 1] is a solution method for the power-flow equations of electrical power systems. Its main features are that it is direct (that is, non-iterative) and that it mathematically guarantees a consistent selection of the correct operative branch of the multivalued problem, also signalling the condition of voltage collapse when there is no solution.
In numerical linear algebra, the method of successive over-relaxation (SOR) is a variant of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations, resulting in faster convergence. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process .
The Stein-Rosenberg theorem, proved in 1948, states that under certain premises, the Jacobi method and the Gauss-Seidel method are either both convergent, or both divergent. If they are convergent, then the Gauss-Seidel is asymptotically faster than the Jacobi method.
The net complex power flow into the network is not known in advance, and the system power losses are unknown until the study is complete. It is necessary to have one bus (i.e. the slack bus) at which complex power is unspecified so that it supplies the difference in the total system load plus losses and the sum of the complex powers specified ...
Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local ...
If an equation can be put into the form f(x) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x 1 in the basin of attraction of x, and let x n+1 = f(x n) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence {x n} n ≥ 1 will converge to the solution x.
