Impedance loads (Z)

They represent loads for which the impedance is considered constant, i.e. the power is proportional to the square of the voltage.

ZIP equation: \(S = 0 \times V^0 + 0 \times V^1 + z \times V^2 \implies S \propto V^2\)

Equations

The equations are the following (star loads):

\[\begin{split}\left\{ \begin{aligned} \underline{I_{\mathrm{abc}}} &= \frac{\underline{V_{\mathrm{abc}}}-\underline{V_{\mathrm{n}}}}{ \underline{Z_{\mathrm{abc}}}} \\ \underline{I_{\mathrm{n}}} &= -\sum_{p\in\{\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b},\mathrm{c}\}}\underline{I_{p}} \end{aligned} \right.\end{split}\]

And the following (delta loads):

\[\begin{split}\left\{ \begin{aligned} \underline{I_{\mathrm{ab}}} &= \frac{\underline{V_{\mathrm{a}}}-\underline{V_{\mathrm{b}}}}{\underline{Z_{\mathrm{ab}}}} \\ \underline{I_{\mathrm{bc}}} &= \frac{\underline{V_{\mathrm{b}}}-\underline{V_{\mathrm{c}}}}{\underline{Z_{\mathrm{bc}}}} \\ \underline{I_{\mathrm{ca}}} &= \frac{\underline{V_{\mathrm{c}}}-\underline{V_{\mathrm{a}}}}{\underline{Z_{\mathrm{ca}}}} \end{aligned} \right.\end{split}\]

# A voltage source on the first bus
