PSCAD Implementation of IEEE 123 Node Test Feeder

Abstract

The accompanying file is a PSCAD setup of the IEEE 123 node test feeder. In the PSCAD model, the substation transformer has been omitted. The switches default states have been set according to their default setting in the IEEE 123 node test feeder documents. All voltage regulators’ tap settings have been fixed to those obtained in the IEEE results though an option is provided to set each regulator to vary its tap settings with changing primary voltage. The loads are modeled as ZIP loads with values set to be the same with the IEEE test system. The results from the PSCAD simulation closely matches the published result in the original test system. This PSCAD model could potentially be used in such applications as restoration, reconfiguration, distributed generator interconnection and transient simulation studies
