To form the Y-Bus matrix for power flow studies in power systems.

What is the main purpose of constructing the Y-Bus matrix in power system analysis?

a: To determine the voltage at each bus. b: To analyze the power flow in the network. c: To calculate the current flowing through each line. d: To find the impedance of each transmission line.

In a Y-Bus matrix, what does the diagonal element Y_{ii} represent?

a: The admittance between bus i and bus j. b: The total admittance connected to bus i. c: The impedance of bus i. d: The voltage at bus i.

How is the off-diagonal element Y_{ij} in a Y-Bus matrix defined?

a: As the negative of the admittance between bus i and bus j. b: As the sum of admittances connected to bus i. c: As the total admittance connected to bus j. d: As the impedance between bus i and bus j.

What is the significance of a zero entry in a Y-Bus matrix?

a: It indicates that there is no direct connection between the corresponding buses. b: It indicates that the buses are directly connected with a high admittance. c: It indicates that there is a fault in the system. d: It indicates that the buses have equal voltages.

If a tap changing transformer is added between two nodes i and j. What all elements in a Y-Bus matrix will change?

a: Y_{ij} and Y_{jj} change. b: Y_{jj} and Y_{ii} change. c: Y_{ii} and Y_{ij} change. d: Y_{ii}, Y_{jj}, Y_{ij} and Y_{ji} change.

If a shunt admittance is added on node j. What changes will happen in the elements of the Y-Bus matrix?

a: Only Y_{ij} change. b: Only Y_{jj} change. c: Only Y_{ii} change. d: All Y_{ii}, Y_{jj}, Y_{ij} and Y_{ji} change.

If a parallel transmission line is added between two nodes i and j, what changes will happen in the elements of the Y-Bus matrix?

a: Only Y_{ij} change. b: Only Y_{ij} change. c: Only Y_{ij} change. d: Y_{ii}, Y_{jj}, Y_{ij} and Y_{ji} change.

Y-Bus matrix is:

a: Symmetric matrix. b: Unity matrix. c: Sparse matrix. d: None of the above.

Why is the Y-Bus matrix preferred over the Z-Bus matrix in power flow studies?

a: Because it is easier to calculate. b: Because it provides better accuracy. c: Because it is computationally more efficient for large systems. d: Because it directly provides the power flows between buses.
