The point of my previous post was that the power flow was doing what you told it to (assuming I was correct about you specifying it as a PV bus). If you want the power flow to solve for the voltage at the bus, given a specified reactive power injection (which is what you seem to be expecting), then you have to specify that by changing the BUS_TYPE to PQ in the input data.
