If we consider the above example, with V1 and V3 already given in per unit values and
Sbase = 100 MVA

In the example above we are not given enough data to find this step (We don’t know the
voltage power, rated voltage, and inductance/impdedance)
Example Cont.
-1 -1
Y11 = (0.02 + j0.04) + (0.01 + j0.03) = 20 –j50
-1
Y12 = Y21 = - [0.02 + j0.04] = -10 + j20
-1
Y13 = Y31 = - [0.01 + j0.03] = -10 + 30j
-1 -1
Y22 = (0.02 + j0.04) + (0.0125 + j0.025) = 26 – j52
-1
Y23 = Y32 = - [0.0125 + j0.025] = -16 + j32
-1 -1
Y33 = (0.01 + j0.03) + (0.0125 + j0.025) = 26 - j62
Note:
Y11 = - [Y12 + Y13]
Y22 = - [Y12 + Y23]
Y33 = - [Y23 + Y13]
IMPORTANT STEP: It is very useful to covert these values to polar form (|Vij|, θij):
Note: Angles are in radians for this example, but for consistency use degrees.

2 Load P2, Q2 |V2|, δ2 P2, Q2 |V2|, δ2
3 Voltage P3, |V3| Q3, δ3 P3, |V3| δ3
Example Cont.
We know all these parameters so we can solve for the first approximation of P2, P3, and
Q2
We find:
P2 = -1.14
P3 = 0.5616
Q2 = -2.28
Since we know P2, Q2, and P3, we can find ∆P2, ∆Q2, and ∆P3:

8. Write the Jacobian Matrix for the first iteration of the Newton Raphson Method.
This is in the form:
∆values] = [Jacobian Matrix] * [∆
[∆ ∆ for Unknown Parameters]
Example Cont.
So in this case we know ∆P2, ∆Q2, and ∆P3 and need to find the Jacobian partial
derivatives for the unknown values: δ2, δ3, |V2|,
So this means the Jacobian matrix is a 3x3 matrix, so we need to find 9 partial
derivatives.
We can do this as follows:

E&CE 261: Power Systems
Example Cont.
We can solve for Solving for ∆δ2, ∆ δ3, ∆|V2| using Cramer’s Rule, we get:
So we must now alter our previous approximations for δ2, δ3, |V2|
10. We now need to repeat step 7 – 9 iteratively until we obtain an accurate value for
the unknown differences as the à 0. Normally we only do 2 iterations. We then
solve for all the other unknown parameters.
Example Cont.
We find:
