Programming Projects:
  - Project 1 due M 02/08/2010: Write a program in Matlab that reads in per unit
    impedance data for generators, loads, lines and transformers, and outputs
    the admittance matrix Ybus for the system.  Make your input a
    text, csv or excel file and your output the complex matrix Ybus
    that you can print neatly (see fprintf and/or sparse for ideas on printing
    and storage).
    Depending on the application the source impedance may or may not be wanted
    in the admittance matrix.  Include an option in your program to construct
    the admittance matrix both ways.  Where are the differences between them?
    Use your program to find Ybus for the systems in problems 
    2.38, 3.23 and 3.41.
- 
    Project 2 due M 02/22/2010: Write a program in Matlab that takes
    characteristics of conductor, geometry of bundle and phase, and
    length of line as inputs to compute
    
      - per-phase (per km and mile) resistance, inductance, 
      capacitance, series impedance, and shunt admittance;
- short-line, medium-line and long-line π circuits/models.
 
- Project 3 due M 03/01/2010: Write programs in Matlab that
    
      - use line models and base values to compute the per unit 
        line models; and 
- use line data and base values to compute line limits (SIL, thermal,
        theoretical and practical values for lossless and lossy
        cases) and corresponding per unit limits.
 Test your programs on the lines of problems 5.38, 5.39, 5.40
      using a base power of 100MVA.
