Help with Nodal Admittance/Impedance Matrix 1

Hello Everyone!

I have a sample SC calculation I'm looking at but can't seem to match the 3x3 impedance matrix found in the sample.

I have formed the Y matrix following the guidelines from Annex B in IEC 60909.

Attached are the system impedance details (pgs 1 to 2 of attachment), the sample Z matrix results (highlighted in yellow on pg 3 of the attachment), and my Y matrix diagram set up (pg 4 of attachment using mathcad).

If someone can help me find my error it would be much appreciated, thanks!

Im sure im making a simple mistake in one of the Y matrix components

Your first term in the parentheses for Y[sub]22[/sub] is wrong.

Hello Xnuke,

Thank you for pointing out Y_22.

Attached is the revised Y and Z matrix however I still don't match the sample document. (see pg 3 of "Summary2.pdf")

I found in the document a summary of the majority of the expected Y matrix components. (see pg 1 of "Summary2.pdf")

All of my Y values in yellow match those listed in the sample calculation document.

The only value that does not match is Y_33 for which details are not given by the reference document instead only the final Y value.
In this case, I don’t see how Y_33 is not simply based on ZL1 and ZWP.

However, I did notice that even if I define Y_33 using the value they provide my Z matrix still does not match so there is something else wrong in addition to Y_33.

Additionally, the document does not mention that Y_13 or Y_31 are however I'm fairly confident they are zero as there is no way to travel from node F1 to F3 without passing through node F2.

Why are you using the absolute value of each term in Y to create Y? Shouldn't you find Y as a signed matrix, then invert it to get Z, then find the absolute elements of Z?

I concur that Y[sub]13[/sub] and Y[sub]31[/sub] should be 0.

You are correct!
I shouldn't have taken the absolute value of the admittance that was the final issue aside from my Y_22 initially that you pointed out.

Taking the absolute value of each of the elements of the impedance matrix calculated now got me the same Z matrix as the sample calculations in the document.

On a side note, it seems that the Y_33 in the document is a typo. I say this since my Y_33 is not the same however with all of your suggested changes I match the final matrix for the magnitude of the impedances.

Thank you Xnuke!
