IEEE 342-node low voltage networked test system

The IEEE Distribution Test Feeders provide a benchmark for new algorithms to the distribution analysis community. The low voltage network test feeder represents a moderate size urban system that is unbalanced and highly networked. This is the first distribution test feeder developed by the IEEE that contains unbalanced networked components. The 342-node Low Voltage Networked Test System includes many elements that may be found in a networked system: multiple 13.2kV primary feeders, network protectors, a 120/208V grid network, and multiple 277/480V spot networks. This paper presents a brief review of the history of low voltage networks and how they evolved into the modern systems. This paper will then present a description of the 342-Node IEEE Low Voltage Network Test System and power flow results.
