None.

Algebraic Equations

\[\begin{split}\begin{aligned} 0 &= I_r + G V_r - B V_i \\ 0 &= I_i + B V_r + G V_i \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

Initialization

Initialization solves the algebraic current states from the connected bus voltage. Let \(V_{r0}\) and \(V_{i0}\) be the initialized bus voltage components.

\[\begin{split}\begin{aligned} I_r &= -(G V_{r0} - B V_{i0}) \\ I_i &= -(B V_{r0} + G V_{i0}) \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

The derivative vector entries initialize to zero.
