SOlving power flow using gauss seidel and matlab, HELP

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a power flow system using the Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods in MATLAB. The user has shared their code and is seeking assistance due to encountering NaN results and growing errors. They identified a mistake in their error calculation, which initially only considered the real part, and have since adjusted it to include both real and imaginary components. Despite these changes, the angle calculation for th3 is still returning complex numbers instead of real angles, indicating a potential issue in the mathematical expressions used. The user is looking for guidance to resolve these issues and improve the accuracy of their results.

Homework Statement



We were asked to do a course project using to solve a powerflow system usign gauss seidel and Newton raphson methods. after writing down the equations at each bus and double checking them this is the final code2. The attempt at a solution
c=1
V1=1
P2=-8
Q2=-2.8
V3=1.05
P3=4.4
P4=0
Q4=0
P5=0
Q5=0
V2=1
V4=1
V5=1
th2=atan (imag(V2)./real(V2))
th3=atan (imag(V3)./real(V3))
th4=atan (imag(V4)./real(V4))
th5=atan (imag(V5)./real(V5))
error = 0.001
errorm = 1

while (errorm > error)

V2new = (1./(2.678-i*28.459))*((8+i*2.8)-((-0.893+i*0.919)*V4+(-1.785+i*19.839)*V5))
error2 = abs(V2new - V2)th3new = acos(real(((11.92*sin(th4)-147.96*cos(th4)) + V2*((-0.89*sin(th4-th2)-9.92*cos(th4-th2))+1.05*(cos (th3)+i*sin (th3))*(-7.46*sin(th4-th3)-99.44*cos(th4-th3))+V4*147.96+V5*(-7.48*sin(th4-th5)-99.44*cos(th4-th5))))/4.19))

error_1 = max(error2, error3)
error_2 = max(error4, error5)
errorm = max(error_1, error_2)
c=c+1
end
this is my code. please try it and tell me anything if you notice anything.

ok, I am tracing my output to try to know where my mistakes are. i discovered that my expresion for the error was a mistake, because it only took into account the real part so my new expression is c=1
V1=1
P2=-8
Q2=-2.8
V3=1.05
P3=4.4
P4=0
Q4=0
P5=0
Q5=0

th3=atan (imag(V3)./real(V3))

th5=atan (imag(V5)./real(V5))
error = 0.0001

while (errorm > error)

error2 = abs(((real(V2new).^2+imag(V2new).^2)^0.5)-((real(V2).^2+imag(V2).^2).^0.5))th3new = asin(imag(((11.92*sin(th4)-147.96*cos(th4)) + V2*((-0.89*sin(th4-th2)-9.92*cos(th4-th2))+1.05*(cos (th3)+i*sin (th3))*(-7.46*sin(th4-th3)-99.44*cos(th4-th3))+V4*147.96+V5*(-7.48*sin(th4-th5)-99.44*cos(th4-th5))))./4.19))
error3 = abs(th3new-th3)

th4=atan (imag(V4)./real(V4))
th5=atan (imag(V5)./real(V5))

error_1 = max(error2, error3)
error_2 = max(error4, error5)
errorm = max(error_1, error_2)
c=c+1
end

Im still getting NaN results as errors are growing huge, I traced the output and found where I could be going wrong but I didnt resolve it so far. th3 is coming out as a complex number when it shuold be an angle only. I don't know wat I am doing wrong.. please help
