G2: Sn G2 = 10 MVA, Xd = 20 %
G3: Sn G3 = 10 MVA, Xd = 16.7 %

SOLUTION:
1. Generators G1 and G2:
Sk G1 = Sn G1/Xd = 20 / 0.2 = 100 MVA
Sk G2 = Sn G2/Xd = 10 / 0.2 = 50 MVA
Total short-circuit power on the 10 kV busbar:
Sk 10kV = Sk G1+Sk G2 = 100 + 50 = 150 MVA
Total 3-ph short-circuit current on the 10 kV busbar:
Ik 10kV = Sk 10kV/3*U = 150/3*10 = 8.66 kA
2. Transformer T1:
Sk T1 = Sn T1/uk = 30 / 0.1 = 300 MVA
3. Short-circuit power after T1:
Sk = Sk 10kV*Sk T1 / (Sk 10kV+Sk T1) = 150*300/(150+300) = 100 MVA
Total 3-ph short-circuit current after T1:
Ik = Sk /3*U = 100/3*132 = 437 A
4. Calculation of the impedance for the 132 kV Line:
XL = Xpu * L = 0.4 * 100 = 40 ohm (R is neglected)
5. Short-circuit impedance before the 132 kV Line:
Xk = U2/Sk = 1322/100 = 174 ohm
6. Short-circuit power after the 132 kV Line:
X132kV = Xk + XL = 174+40 = 214 ohm
Sk 132kV = U2/ X132kV = 1322/214 = 81 MVA
Total 3-ph short-circuit current after the 132 kV Line:
Ik 132kV = Sk 132kV /3*U = 81/3*132 = 354 A

7. Transformer T2:
Sk T2 = Sn T2 / uk = 30 / 0.1 = 300 MVA
8. Short-circuit power after T2:
Sk = Sk 132kV * Sk T2 / (Sk 132kV+Sk T2) = 81*300/(81+300) = 64 MVA
9. Generator G3:
Sk G3 = Sn G3 / Xd = 10 / 0.167 = 60 MVA
10. Short-circuit power before T3:
Sk 6kV = Sk G3 + Sk = 60+64 = 124 MVA
Total 3-ph short-circuit current on the 6 KV busbar:
Ik 6kV = Sk 6kV /3*U = 124/3*6 = 11.9 kA
11. Transformer T3:
Sk T3 = Sn T3 / uk = 1 / 0.06 = 16.7 MVA
12. Short-circuit power on the 0.4 kV busbar:
Sk 0.4kV = Sk 6kV * Sk T3 / (Sk 6kV+Sk T3) = 124*16.7/(124+16.7) = 14.7 MVA
Total 3-ph short-circuit current on the 0.4 KV busbar:
Ik 0.4kV = Sk 0.4kV /3*U = 14.7/3*0.4 = 21.2 kA
