A simple (few buses) power system (Fig. E7.8.1) is used to illustrate in detail the Newton– Raphson load flow analysis. All impedances are in pu and the base apparent power is S_{base}=1 kVA. Compute the fundamental admittance matrix for this system.
For this example y_{14}=-\tilde{y}_{14}, \text { where } \tilde{y}_{14} is the admittance between bus 1 and bus 4 and y_{14} is an entry of the bus admittance matrix Y_{bus}. Note the minus sign.
The bus admittance matrix is now
Note that \bar{Y}_{bus} is singular; that is, \left(\bar{Y}_{\text {bus }}\right)^{-1} cannot be found, because there is no admittance connected to the ground bus. This is unimportant for the Newton-Raphson approach because for forming of the Jacobian the entries of \bar{Y}_{\text {bus }} \text { are used and } \bar{Y}_{\text {bus }} is not inverted.
