PV analyze in PSSE

The transmission network is basically a "transfer system" between two systems: the source (generators/plants) and the sink (load centers). PV analysis aims to statically determine the behavior of voltage while transmitting power from the source to load. Most of the time, bus voltage at the vicinity of the sink is depressed whenever power transfer takes place.

You need a subsystem because you want to study a particular system affected by the transfer of power, in this case, you need to check the relationship of power transfer against the bus voltage, hence P-V analysis.

It mean we have to creat 2 subsysem in whole large system, a source & a sink ?

Not necessarily limited to only 2 systems. You can actually create several subsystems in case you want to test inter-area transfers considering the behaviour of voltage.
