Development and Analysis of Nordic32 Power System Model in PowerFactory

Abstract: The present work deals with the implementation of the test system Nordic32 proposed by Cigre task force 38-02-08. This test system which consists of 32 buses is a representation of the Swedish transmission and is suitable for the simulation of transient stability and long term dynamics. This work provides a detailed description about the steps followed to create both the static part of the system for load flow calculations and the controllers that the generators are equipped with. Furthermore, the thesis closes with a basic study concerning the modal analysis and the voltage stability of the system revealing some weaknesses that need further examination.
