Ybus of five-bus system

Short answer

Each line series admittance y = 2 - j6 pu. Driving-point admittances: Y11=Y33=Y44=4-j12 pu, Y22=Y55=6-j18 pu. Transfer admittances between directly connected buses are -2+j6 pu; zero otherwise.

The figure below shows a five-bus power system. Each line has a series impedance of 0.05 + j0.15 pu. The line shunt admittance may be neglected. Compute the Bus-admittance matrix. What are the driving point and transfer admittances? [Figure: five buses with lines 1-2, 1-5, 2-3, 2-5, 3-4 and 4-5]

Series admittance of each line

y=10.05+j0.15=0.05−j0.150.025=2−j6 puy = \frac{1}{0.05 + j0.15} = \frac{0.05 - j0.15}{0.025} = 2 - j6\ \text{pu}

Shunt admittances are neglected, so YiiY_{ii} = (number of lines at bus ii) × yy and Yik=−yY_{ik} = -y for each connected pair.

Driving-point and transfer admittances

  • Driving-point (self) admittances are the diagonal elements YiiY_{ii}: Y11=Y33=Y44=4−j12Y_{11} = Y_{33} = Y_{44} = 4 - j12 pu and Y22=Y55=6−j18Y_{22} = Y_{55} = 6 - j18 pu. YiiY_{ii} is the current injected at bus ii per unit voltage at bus ii with all other buses shorted to ground.
  • Transfer (mutual) admittances are the off-diagonal elements YikY_{ik}: −2+j6-2 + j6 pu for directly connected buses and 0 otherwise. YikY_{ik} is the current at bus ii per unit voltage at bus kk with all other buses shorted.
