)The size of a real Ybus, admittance matrix, is very large. Computational time can be aproblem, therefore, we needed to come up with algorithms to reduce the size of suchmatrix. The selection of the buses to be eliminated (in order to reduce the size of thematrix) is usually determined by the fact that there is no current being injected and /or thebus is of no importance to the analysis. As a rule if there is no external load and/or thereare not generating sources connected then we can eliminate such bus.When we want to eliminate a bus, we use the method of Kron’s reduction. We simplyidentify the buses that are not active, or do not have an effect on the system. In ourexample it would be buses 5 and 6. The size of our matrix is a 6 by 6 (nxn
