The basic function of the Electric Power System is to supply electrical energy with quality and when requested. For this to be possible some analysis of the system is required, among them Power Flow Analysis. This analysis is important for the delineation of the power systems, as well as in the definition of the best conditions of operation, control and supervision of the existing systems. The system is modeled as follows: Generators, Loads, Reactors and Capacitors are connected between any node and the ground node, since the transmission lines and transformers are connected between any two nodes. Thus, the admittance matrix of the system will be generated through nodal analysis that will be solved by numerical methods. One of the objectives of this work aims to perform the power flow analysis of a system with the aid of numerical methods. Another objective is as well as to verify the accuracy of the results, with solutions obtained by the methods of Gauss Elimination, LU Factoration, Gauss Seidel and Crout Method, implemented in C language. The analysis of the accuracy of the results occurred through the relative error in comparison to the results obtained by MatLab software.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
