30-Bus System (IEEE Test Case)

I. Introduction:

\(\bullet\) The IEEE 30 Bus Test Case represents a portion of the American Electric Power System (in the Midwestern US) as of December, 1961. A hardcopy data was provided by Iraj Dabbagchi of AEP and entered in IEEE Common Data Format by Rich Christie at the University of Washington in August 1993.
\(\bullet\) This test case consists of 15 buses, 2 generators and 3 synchronous condensers. The 11 kV and 1.0 kV base voltages are the guess, which may not be the actual data. The model actually has these buses at either 132 or 33 kV; what is worth mention is that the 30 bus test case does not have line limits.
