Important implication of the Complex - Variable Newton - Raphson load flow analysis is that Jacobian size
reduces to approximately half in comparison with the traditional Real-Variable Newton-Raphson method. This significant
reduction in memory access achieved will lead to the advantage of substantial reduction in computing time which will
increase the efficiency. In this paper we have use MATLAB to compare computational time require for load flow analysis
with complex variables and with real variables. Numerical results on 3 – bus system, IEEE 13 and 300– bus system are
presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method
