Ybus for 3-bus system (2078)

Short answer

Invert line impedances to get admittances. Diagonal elements sum of line admittances at each bus; off-diagonals are negative of the corresponding line admittance. Ybus = [[20–j50, –10+j20, –10+j30]; [–10+j20, 26–j52, –16+j32]; [–10+j30, –16+j32, 26–j62]] pu. Bus 1 slack, Bus2 PQ, Bus3 PV.

For a three phase system as shown in figure below, compute the YBus Matrix. [Figure: bus 1 V1 = 1.05∠0; Z12 = 0.02 + j0.04, Z13 = 0.01 + j0.03, Z23 = 0.0125 + j0.025; bus 2: P2 = −4.0 pu, Q2 = −2.5 pu; bus 3: P3 = 2.0 pu, V3 = 1.04 pu, (1.0 ≤ Q3 ≤ 1.5) pu]

YbusY_{bus} depends only on the network impedances; the bus data (V1V_1, P2P_2, Q2Q_2, P3P_3, V3V_3, Q limits) are needed later for load flow, not for YbusY_{bus}. No line charging is given, so it is neglected.

Step 1: Line admittances

y12=10.02+j0.04=0.02−j0.040.022+0.042=0.02−j0.040.002=10−j20 puy13=10.01+j0.03=0.01−j0.030.001=10−j30 puy23=10.0125+j0.025=0.0125−j0.0250.00078125=16−j32 pu\begin{aligned} y_{12} &= \frac{1}{0.02 + j0.04} = \frac{0.02 - j0.04}{0.02^2 + 0.04^2} = \frac{0.02 - j0.04}{0.002} = 10 - j20\ \text{pu} \\ y_{13} &= \frac{1}{0.01 + j0.03} = \frac{0.01 - j0.03}{0.001} = 10 - j30\ \text{pu} \\ y_{23} &= \frac{1}{0.0125 + j0.025} = \frac{0.0125 - j0.025}{0.00078125} = 16 - j32\ \text{pu} \end{aligned}

Step 2: Diagonal elements

Y11=y12+y13=20−j50Y22=y12+y23=26−j52Y33=y13+y23=26−j62\begin{aligned} Y_{11} &= y_{12} + y_{13} = 20 - j50 \\ Y_{22} &= y_{12} + y_{23} = 26 - j52 \\ Y_{33} &= y_{13} + y_{23} = 26 - j62 \end{aligned}

Step 3: Off-diagonal elements

Y12=Y21=−10+j20,Y13=Y31=−10+j30,Y23=Y32=−16+j32Y_{12} = Y_{21} = -10 + j20,\quad Y_{13} = Y_{31} = -10 + j30,\quad Y_{23} = Y_{32} = -16 + j32

Answer:

Ybus=[20−j50−10+j20−10+j30−10+j2026−j52−16+j32−10+j30−16+j3226−j62] puY_{bus} = \begin{bmatrix} 20 - j50 & -10 + j20 & -10 + j30 \\ -10 + j20 & 26 - j52 & -16 + j32 \\ -10 + j30 & -16 + j32 & 26 - j62 \end{bmatrix}\ \text{pu}

For the load flow that follows: bus 1 is the slack bus (V1=1.05∠0∘V_1 = 1.05\angle 0^\circ), bus 2 is a PQ (load) bus, and bus 3 is a PV bus (P3=2.0P_3 = 2.0, ∣V3∣=1.04|V_3| = 1.04, with Q limits).
