Dear all,
I am working on the IEEE37 test feeder. I am trying to add 5KW PF=1 PV system to the bus 775. I also add a single phase transformer at the bus 709s. Since I am a starter for this software, I do not know whether my single phase transformer and PV system model is correct or not ?
Could anyone help me checking my model, please? Please help me to correct if there is anything wrong with my 3-phase transformer at bus 799, 1-phase transformer at bus 709 and 5-KW PV system at bus 775.
The voltage at bus 775 suppose to be 0.97796 p.u, angle= -31.9° but I can't get it.
I have attached the data, code and diagram of my modified IEEE37 bus below.
Thank you for your help.
Let's start with one thing and see what happens ....
You must understand the distribution system you are modeling and OpenDSS is a good teacher. This is a 3-wire delta system, so there is nothing stabilizing the neutral. So you don't connect 1-phase transformers line-to-neutral (actually, line-to-ground). You would connect the primary line-to-line. Change the connection and primary kV rating of the 1-phase transformer and work from there.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Dear Roger Dugan and everyone,
Thank you for your reply. I am not sure I fully understand your reply or not. but I have made a few changes to my single phase transformer.
Could you please correct me if it is still wrong?
Thank you.
