Z Bus Algorithm
Z Bus Algorithm
Start a new bus with an impedance Zb from that bus to reference node:
Za
𝑍ℎ 𝑁+1 𝑍 𝑁+1 𝑖
𝑍ℎ𝑖(𝑛𝑒𝑤) = 𝑍ℎ𝑖 −
𝑍𝑗𝑗 + 𝑍𝑘𝑘 − 2𝑍𝑗𝑘 + 𝑍𝑏
Step 1: Add branch 1 from a new bus (1) to the reference node—

Algorithm
Step 2: Add branch 2 from a new bus (5) to the reference node—

• We have not shown calculations for the very high impedance branches
representing the open circuits
Let us remove the rows and columns for buses (5) and (6) from the
matrix to obtain the effective working matrix

• The zeros in the 𝑍𝑏𝑢𝑠 show that zero-sequence current injected into
bus (1) bus (4) of Fig. 12.6(b) cannot cause voltages at the other buses
because of the open circuits introduced by the -Y transformers
• Note also that the j0.08 per unit reactance in series with the open
(0)
circuit between buses (6) and (4) does not affect 𝑍𝑏𝑢𝑠 since it cannot
carry current

• By apply the Zbus building algorithm to the positive- and negative
sequence networks in a similar manner, we obtain

• Here we assumed that the j0.20 per unit reactance in the bus (4) and a new
bus (p). However, node (p) is grounded and hence we need to remove the row
and column related to node (p) from the matrix

Using Kron reduction formula we have, 𝑍ℎ𝑖(𝑛𝑒𝑤) = 𝑍ℎ𝑖 −
𝑍𝑘𝑘 +𝑍𝑏
So,
(𝑗0.20)×(𝑗0.20)
𝑍11(𝑛𝑒𝑤) = 𝑗0.20 − = 𝑗0.1437
𝑗0.71
Similarly,
(𝑗0.51)×(𝑗0.43)
𝑍34(𝑛𝑒𝑤) = 𝑗0.43 − = 𝑗0.1211
𝑗0.71

Calculating all elements, we obtain
Note: since the matrix is diagonally symmetric, i.e., 𝑍𝑖𝑗 = 𝑍𝑗𝑖 we need
calculate only the diagonal elements and half of the off-diagonal
elements.

Solution:
𝑗 = 2, 𝑘 = 4
𝑍𝑗𝑗 = 𝑍22 = 𝑗0.78571, 𝑍𝑘𝑘 = 𝑍44 = 𝑗0.95397
𝑍𝑗𝑘 = 𝑍24 = 𝑗0.59524 𝑍𝑏 = 𝑗0.125
𝑍ℎ𝑗 − 𝑍ℎ𝑘 = 𝑍ℎ2 − 𝑍ℎ4
