The document discusses the Newton-Raphson method for finding the solutions of nonlinear equations. It describes how the method uses Taylor series expansion to linearize the function around an initial guess. It then finds the next estimate as the initial guess minus the ratio of the function value to the derivative value. The method repeats this process iteratively until converging to a solution. Examples of applying Newton-Raphson to power flow problems are presented.
3. NEWTON-RAPHSON METHOD
Consider the solution of the one-dimensional
If (0) is an initial estimate of the solution, and (0) is a small
deviation from the correct solution.
Then we have

4. Expanding by Taylor's series then we have
Assuming the error (0) is very small, the higher-order terms can be
neglected
