IEEE 57-Bus System

Abstract

The IEEE 57-bus test case represents a simple approximation of the American Electric Power system (in the U.S. Midwest) as it was in the early 1960s. The data were provided by Iraj Dabbagchi[2] http://www.ee.washington.edu/research/pstca/pf57/pg_tca57bus.htm of AEP and converted into the IEEE Common Data Format by Rich Christie at the University of Washington in August 1993 [1],[2]. From the graph, we can see that the IEEE 57-bus test case system has 57 buses, 7 generators, and 42 loads. [1] http://www.ee.washington.edu/research/pstca/formats/cdf.txt
