It includes the control functions that define the microgrid as a system that can manage itself, and operate autonomously or grid-connected, and seamlessly connect to and disconnect from the main distribution grid for the exchange of power and the supply of ancillary services, including to the distribution system to which it is connected.

It is recognized that microgrid components and operational solutions exist in different configurations with different implementations.

The scope of this standard is to develop a set of testing procedures allowing the verification, the quantification of the performance, and a comparison of the performance with expected minimum requirements of the different functions of the microgrid controller that are common to the control of all microgrids, regardless of topology, configuration, or jurisdiction.

It aims to present metrics for a comparison of the control functions required from both the microgrid operator and the Distribution System Operator (DSO).

Ieee Test System Full Data And

Full data and samples of representative outputs for two test systems models (respectively the Nordic and the RVS test system) can be found in this page.

The sampled outputs refer to long-term dynamic simulations of their responses to large disturbances.

Dynamic models and parameters were adjusted to make them more representative.

This system has rather long transmission lines of 400-kV nominal voltage.

Frequency is controlled by generators of hydro plants located in the exporting areas.

The overall characteristics are: 74 buses, 102 branches, 20 generators (all with step-up transformers and overexcitation limiters modeled), 22 loads at distribution level (all controlled by load tap changers).

This system has been used in various studies including contingency evaluation, voltage security assessment, instability detection and emergency control.

The corresponding original models and data were used in a number of publications.

This web page presents a variant of the above test system, in which the parameters were adjusted to make voltage instability more pronounced.

Its overall characteristics are: 75 buses, 145 branches, 32 generators, 17 loads at distribution level, and two switched shunt capacitors.

The material contained in it was developed by the contributors to this Task Force, subject only to an internal peer-reviewing process.
