1. Figure below shows the online diagram of a three bus power system with generation at bus 1.
The magnitude of voltage at bus 1 is adjusted to 1.05 per unit. The scheduled load at bus 2
and 3 are marked on the diagram. Line admittances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base
and the line charging susceptances are neglected.
