IEEE Test Systems in PowerWorld

I modeled IEEE test systems for electric power engineering in the software PowerWorld. The data came from this website - Power Systems Test Case Archive. The 14 bus system, 30 bus system and 24 bus system are most widely used for education and research.

The modifications applied to the power systems were basically adding thermal ratings for the branches. This will results into some overloads in the system. The IEEE 24 bus of Reliability Test System (RTS) has an increased percentage in loads to create problems in voltage and branch loading.

The main purpose of the problems arising from the modifications is to stimulate education among students to solve the problems in pre and post- contingencies.

The following figures present the thermal violations in the test power systems.
