How can I calculate the covariance matrix of a vector?

Vector is n*1 and its covariance matrix is n*n.

If your vector is y n*1, then the covariance matrix is

R = E{y*y^{H}}, where E{.} is the mathematical expectation, and ()^{H} is the Hermitian transpose. Therefore, note that the trace of R corresponds to the scalar product of y.

How can I simulate the occurrence of three-phase short-circuit fault at the terminal of an isolated synchronous generator using programming in Matlab?

The generator supplies a parallel RL load. The fault occurs at t1 and it is cleared at t2. The dynamic simulation interval includes pre-fault, fault, and post-fault conditions.
