The IEEE Reliability Test System-1996. A report prepared by the Reliability Test System Task Force of the Application of Probability Methods Subcommittee

Abstract

This oeportdescribesan enhanced testsystem ( W W ) f o r MW In bulk power system reliability evaluation studies. The value of the tost system is that it will permit comparative and benchmark studios to be perf0me-d on new and existing reliability evaluation techniques. The test system was developed by modifying and updating the original IEEE RTS (referred to as RTS79 hereafter) to reflect changes In evaluation methodologies and to overcome perceived deficiencies. -The first version of the IEEE Reliability Test System (RTS 79) was developed and published in 1979 [ l ] by the Application of Probability Methods (APM) Subcommittee of the Power System Englaeering Committee. It was developed to satisfy the need for a standardized data base to test and compare results from different power system reliability evaluation methodologies. As such, was designed to b@ a reference system that contains the core data and system parameters necessary for composite reliability evaluation methods. It was recognized at that time that enhancements to RTS It should be noted that In developing and adopting the various parameters for RTS-96, there was no Intention to develop a test system which was representative of any specific or typical power system. Forcing such a requirement on RTs-98 would result in a

A robust optimization approach to energy and reserve dispatch in electricity markets

“…Section 4.1 describes an example based on a simple two-node system, to illustrate the functioning of the model. A larger study based on the 24-node IEEE Reliability Test-System, the specifications of which can be found in [6], is considered in Section 4.2.…”

“…The results presented in this section are obtained from a modified version of the 24-node IEEE Reliability Test-System in [6].…”

“…Algorithms for solving this problem are then described in Section 3. Then, Section 4 presents results from a simple illustrative example and from a larger case study based on the 24-node IEEE Reliability Test-System in [6]. Finally, conclusions are presented in Section 5.…”

Nodal user’s demand response based on incentive based programs

“…The main characteristics of transmission and generation are taken from [26]. A value of lost load (VoLL) of 1000 $/MWh is considered for all nodes belonging to the system [27].…”

Risk-constrained optimal power flow with probabilistic guarantees

“…The line outage probabilities were estimated based on the line length (estimated from the line reactance) and the average outage probability for transmission lines in Germany [11]. The generator outages were estimated based on reliability data from the IEEE RTS-96 system [18]. We assume that all generators are able to provide both positive and negative redispatch, and that the redispatch capability is 10% of the maximum output for each generator.…”
