ASSIGNMENT 2

The figure above describes a 4-bus power system. The equations describing the system are as follows:

𝐼1 = 𝑦10 𝑉1 + 𝑦12 (𝑉1 − 𝑉2 ) + 𝑦13 (𝑉1 − 𝑉3 )

𝐼2 = 𝑦12 (𝑉2 − 𝑉1 ) + 𝑦20 𝑉2 + 𝑦23 (𝑉2 − 𝑉3 )
𝐼3 = 𝑦13 (𝑉3 − 𝑉1 ) + 𝑦23 (𝑉3 − 𝑉2 ) + 𝑦34 (𝑉3 − 𝑉4 )
𝐼4 = 𝑦34 (𝑉4 − 𝑉3 )
where 𝐼1 , 𝐼2 , 𝐼3 and 𝐼4 are the currents and 𝑉1, 𝑉2 , 𝑉3 and 𝑉4 are the unknown bus voltages. Given that:

𝑦10 = 36 𝐼1 = 72
𝑦12 = 𝑦34 = 12 𝐼2 = 16
𝑦13 = −12 𝐼3 = 42
𝑦20 = 58 𝐼4 = 36
𝑦23 = −6

i) Derive the augmented matrix for the problem above. (1 M)

ii) Derive the equations required for the Jacobi’s method and the Gauss-Seidel
method. (1 M)
iii) Can the equation be solved using the Jacobi’s method? Why? (2 M)
iv) Perform the Gauss-Seidel method for the first 8 iterations. For each iteration,
display the results for 𝑉1, 𝑉2 , 𝑉3 and 𝑉4 in a table. What can you say about it? (3 M)
v) Change the arrangement of the equations in the problem by swapping the third
row and the fourth row as shown below. Re-derive the equations for the Gauss-
Seidel method and solve it using this method. Stop your iterations when
|𝑉1𝑘+1 − 𝑉1𝑘 | < 0.01 (3 M)

𝐼1 = 𝑦10 𝑉1 + 𝑦12 (𝑉1 − 𝑉2 ) + 𝑦13 (𝑉1 − 𝑉3 )

𝐼2 = 𝑦12 (𝑉2 − 𝑉1 ) + 𝑦20 𝑉2 + 𝑦23 (𝑉2 − 𝑉3 )
𝐼4 = 𝑦34 (𝑉4 − 𝑉3 )
𝐼3 = 𝑦13 (𝑉3 − 𝑉1 ) + 𝑦23 (𝑉3 − 𝑉2 ) + 𝑦34 (𝑉3 − 𝑉4 )𝑦34 (𝑉4 − 𝑉3 )
Note: Please start the iteration for the Gauss-Seidel method using 𝑉2 = 𝑉3 = 𝑉4 = 0.

Hint: Once you have put the equations in the matrix form of 𝐴𝑥 = 𝑏, you can check the answer for 𝑥 in
MATLAB by typing 𝐴\𝑏 just to make sure you are on the right track!
