Hi Ray,

 

I’ve chewed on this a while and it looks like the MATPOWER approach is 
equivalent to the circuit below for the off-nominal transformer (#2).  The  I 
show is based on  for both transformers (#1 is at nominal tap, #2 is at tap of 
1.0502).  The  below is = .  This is the  that MATPOWER builds.  The secondary 
bus voltage is then 0.976 pu.

 



 

 

 

Below is what you get if you follow the approach that Gross1, Neunswander2, and 
Kusic3 use (attached).

 



 

 

Although the MATPOWER approach and Gross approach result in different  
matrices, they result in nearly exactly the same secondary bus voltage because 
the ratio of  in both are nearly identical.  

 

It seems to me that the  created by MATPOWER may be wrong when off-nominal taps 
are used.  I say that with a large dose of humility because surely I am missing 
something.  But, it seems clear that either Gross or MATPOWER is wrong here.  
What am I missing?

I suggest double-checking your calculations against the code in makeYbus.m, 
which is pretty straightforward, and the model described in the User’s Manual 
<https://matpower.org/docs/MATPOWER-manual-7.1.pdf>  see Figure 3-1 and 
equation (3.2). Be sure to keep in mind the orientation of the taps in the 
model.

Carlos – thank you. Very helpful.

 

The YBus I get for my case is below.  I expected Y(1,1) to equal the of this 
sum:  (1/j0.1) + (1/j0.09522) + (1/-j1.991) =  j 19.9997 (negative sign is per 
coder preference).   Is attached (page 1) not how MATPOWER would modify the 
bank #2 impedances before creating YBUS?

 

Yb =

 

Compressed Column Sparse (rows = 2, cols = 2, nnz = 4 [100%])

 

  (1, 1) ->        0 - 19.0663i

 (2, 1) ->        0 + 19.5217i

  (1, 2) ->        0 + 19.5217i

  (2, 2) ->   0 - 20i

 

Best regards,

russ

Hi - I am still trying to hand calculate the flow into branch 2 from bus 1 to 
bus 2.  I can’t get my results to match MATPOWER.

 

I get Q into the banks from bus 1 of,

                Bank #1:    24.00 MVAR

                Bank #2:  -25.02 MVAr

 

Attached is my short calculation and the .m file.  Is there a way to have 
MATPOWER barf out the YBUS matrix?

>> help makeYbus

If buses are numbered consecutively starting from 1 in the bus table (see 
ext2int if not), simply type:

>> mpc = loadcase('mycase');
>> [Yb, Yf, Yt] = makeYbus(mpc)

To get all the relevant current injections in the solved case, simply do

>> mpc = runpf(mpc);
>> define_constants;
>> V = mpc.bus(:, VM) .* exp(1i * mpc.bus(:, VA)*pi/180);
>> Ibus = Yb * V
>> Ifrom = Yf * V;
>> Ito = Yt * V;

>From there, compute power injections as

>> Sbusinj = V .* conj(Yb * V);
>> Sfrominj = V(mpc.branch(:, F_BUS)) .* conj(Yf * V);
>> Stoinj  = V(mpc.branch(:, T_BUS)) .* conj(Yt * V);
