Newton-Raphson method is based on Taylor’s series and partial derivatives. Gauss-Seidel (G-S) is a simple iterative method of solving n number load flow equations by iterative method. Many advantages are attributed to the Newton-Raphson (N-R) approach.
In fact, among the numerous solution methods available for power flow analysis, the Newton-Raphson method is considered to be the most sophisticated and important. The power flow problem can also be solved by using Newton-Raphson method.
