Ybus matrix for Power System Calculations
Objectives:
1. Determining the Ybus matrix of a given power system and performing
calculations for system voltages and then verifying them via
simulation.
2. Use of Gaussian Elimination for Ybus.
Lab Tasks:x
1. For the power system shown in the figure; determine the Ybus matrix of
the system.
2. Solve for bus voltages using the Ybus matrix:
[V] = [Y]-1 [I]
