OpenDSS Project

Figure 1: One-line diagram of IEEE 13 node test case

1) Run the .dss file with load data as given and plot the voltages for 24 hours at all nodes. To do this, place monitors at all nodes and export the values to excel and then plot all voltages on the same graph through excel. To model the load on node 634abc define the multiplier as load value/max value (load) and the KW in openDSS as max value (load).

2) Run the .dss file with load data as given and plot the power in the lines 650-632, 632-671, 671-680, 611-684, 633-634 for 24 hours as a single bar graph. To do this, place monitors at all lines and export the values to excel and then plot all KWs vs the name of lines on the same graph through excel.

3) Change the load at node 652a to increase by 50 percent. Plot the before and after load change voltages on the same plot and compare the change.

4) Install a capacitor of value designed by you to bring all the voltages within limits, i.e. 0.95-1.05 pu.

Deliverables:

1. Prepare two-three page project report on your findings in the IEEE conference paper format (use IEEE template provided on E-Campus) and give title to your report. Give file name – FirstName_LastName_EE431_Project.docx

2. All .dss files and any supporting materials used. Give file name – FirstName_LastName_EE431_Project.zip
