Data for the system is:
G1: 50 MVA, 13.8 kV, X=0.15 pu
G2: 20 MVA, 14.4 kV, X=0.15 pu
M : 20 MVA, 14.4 kV, X=0.15 pu
T1 : 60 MVA, 13.2kV/161kV, X=0.10 pu
T2 : 25 MVA, 13.1kV/161kV, X=0.10 pu
T3 : 25 MVA, 13.2kV/160kV, X=0.10 pu
Line 1: 20+80 ohms
Line 2: 10+j40 ohms
Line 3: 10+j40 ohms
Load: 5.1045 + j3.8284

Choose the system power base as S3,base=100 MVA, and 161kV in Section D.
