Good day,

I am learning MatPower and have a case to study with 8 buses. The below example a simplification:

I could understand how to build buses and links and simulate the energy flow. Results look right, however I have a question since the buses are working on different voltage levels, hence some
links have power transformers.

*** Bus 2: 90 kV - Feeder bus ***
*** Bus 3: 30 kV - Load bus ***
*** Bus 5: 690 V - Load bus ***

<Bus 2>---(90/30kV XFR)---<Bus 3>---(30/.69 kV XFR)---<Bus 5>

Bus 2 to bus 3 is a 16 MVA transformer with impedance 10.5%
Bus 3 to bus 5 is a 5 MVA transformer with impedance 6.5%

At the moment, the bus definition looks like this:

mpc.bus = [
2    3    0.0    0.0    0    0    1        1    0    90.0 1    1.1    0.9;
3    1    7.2    2.1    0    0    1        1    0    30.0 1    1.1    0.9;
5    1    3.5    0.1    0    0    1        1    0    0.69 1    1.1    0.9;
];

And branches definition is incomplete:

mpc.branch = [
  2 3   0.1 0 0   250 250 250   0 0 1 -360 360;
  3 5   0.1 0 0   250 250 250   0 0 1 -360 360;
];


Is this right transformers are set in "Branches" ? How do we calculate and set resistance branches resistance and and reactance in order to properly integrate transformers as for example in above
case ?


Thank you for support,

Jean-François Simon
