They were required to assemble all of the information into tables, both in actual valuesas well as in per unit on a common base, before beginning the analysis. Since the system wassmall, students could manually calculate Ybus and Zbus values and compare them to thePowerWorld results. Any discrepancies had to be resolved in order to get the
