Activity No. 2
Admittance Matrix Formulation using IEEE
Common Data Format for the Exchange of
Solved Load Flow Data
I.

DELIVERABLES
1. Softcopy of source code and required output text files (.txt).
2. Hardcopy of documentation. Submit in A4 paper, IEEE double-column format.
3. Place all files in an encrypted compressed folder (RAR) and upload it at our class e-group with the
following filename format: SURNAMES_GROUP#_ACT# (e.g. CRUZ-SANTOS_GROUP2_ACT2.rar)

II.

OBJECTIVES
1. To be able to understand common data format used in solving load flow problems.
2. To be able to use MATLAB or other programming tool/language to read and parse data.
3. To be able to develop a program that will formulate the BUS Admittance Matrix using IEEE
formatted data.

III.

DISCUSSION
The data file has lines of up to 128 characters. The lines are grouped into sections with section headers.
Data items are entered in specific columns. No blank items are allowed, enter zeros instead. Floating
point items should have explicit decimal point. No implicit decimal points are used.
Data type codes:

A - Alphanumeric (no special characters)

I - Integer
F - Floating point
