Fig. 9.20 n-bus system under steady
load
Consider
an n-bus system shown
schematically in Fig.9.20 operating
at steady
load.
The first step towards short ciicuit computation
is to obtain
prefault
voltages at all buses and
currents in all lines through
a load flow study. Let us
indicate
the
prefault
bus voltage vector as
