Advantage of Gauss Siedel method is

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

Advantage of Gauss Siedel method is:

1. Calculation time for each iteration is less
2. Number of iterations are less
3. Applicable for large power system network
4. All of the above

Correct answer: 1. Calculation time for each iteration is less

Characteristics of Gauss-Seidel Method:

• Requires a large number of iterations to reach convergence
• The number of iterations required for convergence increases with the size of the system
• Convergence is highly dependent on the selection of the slack bus
• Unreliable convergence, less accurate, and used for smaller systems
• It has linear convergence characteristics
• The computation time per iteration is less
• Requires less memory
