17.11 ANALYSIS USING GENERALISED BRANCH MODEL

The most general model for a branch in a network is shown in Fig. 17.11-1.

This combination of a passive impedance in series with a voltage source with a current source paralleling the series combination is represented by a branch in the network graph. The branch voltage variable is v_k and the branch current variable is i_k. These are the variables that enter the KVL and KCL equations, respectively. v_pk is the voltage variable across the passive impedance component in the k^th generalised branch and i_pk is the corresponding current variable as per ...
