Ybus with generator and transformer impedances

Short answer

Treat generator plus transformer reactances as shunt admittances to ground. Compute line admittances from impedances. Diagonal Y_ii sum of connected admittances; off-diagonal Y_ik = –y_ik. Ybus = [[11.0061–j33.2003, –4.1096+j10.9589, –6.8966+j17.2414]; [–4.1096+j10.9589, 10.0267–j29.3268, –5.9172+j14.2012]; [–6.8966+j17.2414, –5.9172+j14.2012, 12.8137–j31.4426]] pu.

Form the Ybus matrix for the following network. All impedance values are in per unit system. [Figure: G1 through T1 to bus 1; G2 through T2 to bus 2; line L1 between buses 1 and 2, L2 between buses 1 and 3, L3 between buses 2 and 3]

Each generator reactance is in series with its transformer, so it forms a shunt branch from its bus to the reference (the generator emf is a current injection). Bus 3 has no generator.
