In a power system, Bus Admittance Matrix represents

the nodal admittances of the various buses. With the
help of the transmission line, each bus is connected to
the various other buses. Admittance matrix is used to
analyse the data that is needed in the load or a power
flow study of the buses. It explains the admittance and
the topology of the network.
Advantage of BUS Admittance
The data preparation of The formation of the bus The bus admittance matrix is a
the bus admittance matrix admittance matrix and their sparse matrix thus the
is very simple. modification is easy. computer memory
requirement is less.

The amount of current present in the bus can be

calculated with the help of formation of the
Admittance matrix. It is expressed as shown:

In the simplest form, the above matrix can be written

as:
I = [Y]V
Where: I is the current of the bus in the vector form.
Y is the admittance matrix
V is the vector of the bus voltage.
Y BUS Let us consider the figure given below.

Admittance
Y BUS From the last figure, the (3×3) admittance
matrix is formed as shown below.
Admittance

The diagonal elements of the Bus

Admittance matrix are known as self-
admittances and the off-diagonal elements
are known as mutual admittances.
Steps for Solving Bus Admittance POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Matrix
First of all, form the bus Admittance matrix.
Select the reference bus to solve the network.
Define the known variables for all the other types of buses.
Assign the initial values for the voltage and angle for all the buses.
Calculate the power mismatch vector and power injection current.
Apply the various iteration methods like Newton-Raphson, Gauss-
Siedel etc.
Check the mismatching vector that whether it is within the prescribed
limit of 0.001 per unit. If yes, then stop the procedure and if no then
continues the steps of iteration to obtain the new values.
Recheck the values again, whether the obtain values are within the
limit.
