The Bus Admittance Matrix
The matrix equation for relating the nodal voltages to the
currents that flow into and out of a network using the
admittance values of circuit branches

Tap-Changing Transformers
l
The tap-changing transform gives some control of the
power network by changing the voltages and current
magnitudes and angles by small amounts
u
The flow of real power along a network branch is controlled by
the angular difference of the terminal voltages
The flow of reactive power along a network branch is controlled
by the magnitude difference of the terminal voltages
Real and reactive powers can be adjusted by voltage-regulating
transformers and by phase-shifting transformers
