In Gauss-Sidel load flow method, the number of iterations may be reduced if the correction in voltage at each bus is multiplied by,
- A. Gauss constant
- B. Acceleration factor
- C. Blocking factor
- D. Lagrange multiplier
Answer: B. Acceleration factor
Explanation: In the Gauss-Seidel power flow method, multiplying the calculated bus voltage correction by an acceleration factor (typically 1.4 to 1.6) speeds up the convergence rate and reduces total iterations.
