To derive external equivalency of power system, the subsystems are define as
Internal
External
Boundary
All of above
All of above
Quick Summary: External power system equivalency involves representing a large interconnected grid by dividing it into three distinct functional zones: the Internal system (study area), the External system (modeled area), and the Boundary nodes that connect the two. This partitioning ensures that state estimation or transient analysis remains computationally efficient while maintaining the impact of neighboring systems.

Yeq=Yee−YeiYii−1Yie — Ward reduction formula for equivalent admittance
The external equivalency method works by applying network reduction techniques, such as Ward equivalents or REI (Radial, Equivalent, Independent) equivalents. The 'Internal' area is the focus of the study, the 'External' area is the surrounding system, and the 'Boundary' consists of the physical transmission lines connecting them. The external system is mathematically reduced to an equivalent injection and admittance at the boundary buses to maintain accurate voltage and power flow representation without modeling every internal bus of the external system.
Internal systems are modeled with high granularity for precise state calculation.
External systems are reduced to equivalent impedances and injections at the boundary.
The Boundary system acts as the interface where the Internal and External systems interact.
Equivalency reduces the dimensionality of the Jacobian matrix in state estimation.
Reduces computational complexity and memory requirements
Allows study of large interconnected grids with limited data from neighbors
Potential loss of accuracy if the external network changes dynamically
Requires periodic updates of equivalent parameters
State Estimation in large regional grids
Contingency Analysis for inter-area security assessment
This concept is fundamental for TSO (Transmission System Operator) coordination in deregulated electricity markets.
Option A, B, and C are all parts of the systemic partition required to define a valid external equivalent model, making D the correct choice.
D is correct — The derivation of an external equivalent model requires partitioning the power grid into three distinct components: Internal, External, and Boundary systems.
Always remember that in state estimation, the 'External' system is often treated as a zero-injection node at the boundary during initial reduction phases.
