Question Two
The bus admittance matrix for the power system shown in Figure 2 is given by
With the complex powers on load buses 2, 3, and 4 as shown in Figure 2, determine the value
for V2 that is produced by the first and second iterations of the Gauss-Seidel procedure. Choose the
(0) (0) (0)
initial guess V2 = V3 = V4 = 1.0∠0o per unit.

Question Three
Determine the bus admittance matrix Ybus for the three-phase power system shown in Figure 3 with
input data given in the table of Figure 4. Assume a three-phase 100 MVA per unit base
