Shunt ImpedanceΒΆ

The ShuntImpedance components attach to a single bus and have a voltage-dependent admittance. For shunt impedances the power consumption is given by \(s_i = |V_i|^2 y_i^*\) so that \(p_i + j q_i = |V_i|^2 (g_i -jb_i)\). However the p and q below are defined directly proportional to g and b with \(p = |V|^2g\) and \(q = |V|^2b\), thus if \(p>0\) the shunt impedance is consuming active power from the bus and if \(q>0\) it is supplying reactive power (i.e. behaving like an capacitor).

Note

Shunt impedances are only used in power flow calculations (n.pf()), not in any of the optimisation problems (n.optimize()).
