The Ybus matrix is formed using the singular transformation method by defining the primitive admittance matrix Yp and the bus incidence matrix A. The primitive admittance matrix is a diagonal matrix where each element y_ii = 1/z_ii represents the admittance of the branch between buses. The bus incidence matrix A (of size b x (n-1), where b is the number of branches and n is the number of buses) is constructed such that for a branch connected between bus i and j, the row has a 1 in column i and a -1 in column j. The Ybus is then calculated as:

This method accounts for all series elements; shunt elements are added directly to the diagonal elements of the resulting matrix.

The Zbus matrix is obtained using the Zbus building algorithm, which adds one element at a time to an existing system. The process involves four types of modifications:

• Type 1: Adding a new bus p to the reference bus via impedance z. The matrix size increases by one row and column, adding z at the new diagonal position.
• Type 2: Adding a new bus p to an existing bus q via impedance z. The new row/column is calculated based on existing rows/columns of bus q.
• Type 3: Adding an impedance z between an existing bus p and the reference bus. This is handled by adding a temporary bus and performing Kron reduction.
• Type 4: Adding an impedance z between two existing buses p and q. This also uses a temporary bus and Kron reduction to eliminate the auxiliary row and column.

For a 4-bus system, the process is repeated iteratively until all branches are included, resulting in a 4 x 4 impedance matrix.
