Admittance/Impedance Matrix
Formulation of the Bus
Admittance Matrix
 The bus admittance matrix is an n×n matrix (where n is the
number of buses in the system) constructed from the
admittances of the equivalent circuit elements of the
segments making up the power system.
 Most system segments are represented by a combination of
shunt elements (connected between a bus and the reference
node) and series elements (connected between two system
buses).

 To construct the Bus Admittance Matrix Ybus:

 where yij is the admittance between bus i and j

Example 8.1:
For the network show, use
bus 4 as the reference bus
and construct the bus
Impedance matrix ZBUS

Solution:
 First calculate the bus admittance matrix Ybus

 Therefore
