How to create a Network Node Incidence Matrix?

10 views (last 30 days)
Hello guys, I am currently working on an IEEE paper which uses the Data of an IEEE-24 Bus System. I need to construct a Network Node Incidence Matrix (A) which consists of 21 nodes and 38 branches. I know Matlab has a function called incidence, but I am unable to figure out how to use this in order to create the Incidence Matrix. I am giving below the details of the nodes and branches.

I tried to solve it using the Incidence function on matlab, but I am getting the following error: Error using matlab.internal.graph.MLGraph Duplicate edges not supported.
Error in matlab.internal.graph.constructFromEdgeList (line 125) G = underlyingCtor(double(s), double(t), totalNodes);
Error in graph (line 287) matlab.internal.graph.constructFromEdgeList(...
I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. It seems like at some point you are creating a graph object with an edge list that has duplicate edges, for example there are two pairs of (20,23). The graph object constructor therefore complains about it.

This project will help you to understand and implement the basics of Graphs and
Networks. You are given a directed graph below. Your task is to construct an
incidence matrix to tell how nodes are connected with edges. Then solve the
resultant m by m matrix n through MATLAB. Think it as an application of KCL
and KVL where the edges represent current flow direction and nodes show the
voltages.
