13 Bus Feeder

Abstract

These systems were originally created in 1992 and approved by the DSA Subcommittee during the 2000 PES Summer Meeting. These systems were designed to evaluate and benchmark algorithms in solving unbalanced three-phase radial systems. Each of these represent reduced-order models of an actual distribution circuit. This circuit model is very small and used to test common features of distribution analysis software, operating at 4.16 kV. It is characterized by being short, relatively highly loaded, a single voltage regulator at the substation, overhead and underground lines, shunt capacitors, an in-line transformer, and unbalanced loading.
