%X The primary purpose in constructing equivalents is to represent a portion of a network containing many buses but having only a few boundary buses by a reduced network containing only the boundary buses and, perhaps, a few selected buses from within the original sub-network. The equivalent constructed gives an exact reproduction of the self and transfer impedances of the external system as seen from its boundary buses. PowerFactory¡¯s network reduction algorithm produces an equivalent representation of the reduced part of the network and calculates its parameters. This equivalent representation is valid for both load flow and short-circuit calculations, including asymmetrical faults (that is, single-phase faults).
