146-Bus System (Indian Utility Test Case)

I. Introduction:

$$\bullet$$ This 146 Bus Test Case represents a part of Indian utility network. The system data is taken from [1,2].
$$\bullet$$ The side constraints of the generator real and reactive power, load bus data, sites of the buses and transmission line data all are given in the attached pdf file in III.
$$\bullet$$ The given data is based on 100 MVA base, where the system $$V^{min}_i$$, $$V^{max}_i$$, $$\theta^{min}_i$$, and $$\theta^{max}_i$$ for the $$i$$th bus are respectively considered to be 0.9 p.u., 1.1 p.u., -45 and +45 degree.
$$\bullet$$ This test case consists of 146 buses, 24 generators, 6 transformers,  161 lines and 46 loads PLUS many open busbars.

II. Single-Line Diagram:

$$\bullet$$ The single-line diagram of the proposed system - as taken from [2] - is shown below:
