Distribution Line Carrier Sensitivity Analysis Using Bus Impedance Matrix

In a previous paper[1] we described the use of a bus impedance matrix approach for determining the signal strength of distribution line carrier signals. The technique used bus impedance matrices to calculate transimpedances which are the ratios of the voltage at any point on the line to the current injected at any point on the line. In the current paper we apply sensitivity analysis to this bus impedance approach and show how simply new transimpedances can be obtained from the original values when changes in the distribution line are made.
