PGLib OPF Case 39 EPRI

Abstract

CASE39 Power flow data for 39 bus New England system. Data taken from [1] with the following modifications/additions: - renumbered gen buses consecutively (as in [2] and [4]) - added Pmin = 0 for all gens - added Qmin, Qmax for gens at 31 & 39 (copied from gen at 35) - added Vg based on V in bus data (missing for bus 39) - added Vg, Pg, Pd, Qd at bus 39 from [2] (same in [4]) - added Pmax at bus 39: Pmax = Pg + 100 - added line flow limits and area data from [4] - added voltage limits, Vmax = 1.06, Vmin = 0.94 - added identical quadratic generator costs - increased Pmax for gen at bus 34 from 308 to 508 (assumed typo in [1], makes initial solved case feasible) - re-solved power flow

Notes: - Bus 39, its generator and 2 connecting lines were added (by authors of [1]) to represent the interconnection with the rest of the eastern interconnect, and did not include Vg, Pg, Qg, Pd, Qd, Pmin, Pmax, Qmin or Qmax. - As the swing bus, bus 31 did not include and Q limits. - The voltages, etc in [1] appear to be quite close to the power flow solution of the case before adding bus 39 with it's generator and connecting branches, though the solution is not exact. - Explicit voltage setpoints for gen buses are not given, so they are taken from the bus data, however this results in two binding Q limits at buses 34 & 37, so the corresponding voltages have probably deviated from their original setpoints. - The generator locations and types are as follows: 1 30 hydro 2 31 nuke01 3 32 nuke02 4 33 fossil02 5 34 fossil01 6 35 nuke03 7 36 fossil04 8 37 nuke04 9 38 nuke05 10 39 interconnection to rest of US/Canada This is a solved power flow case, but it includes the following violations: - Pmax violated at bus 31: Pg = 677.87, Pmax = 646 - Qmin violated at bus 37: Qg = -1.37, Qmin = 0
