This collection of images provides simple test system diagrams for most
of the test power systems in the NESTA test case archive (see
https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.0359)
It can be hard for researchers
to visualize data relevant to these networks. These images were created
by applying the techniques described in: P. Cuffe; A. Keane, "Visualizing the Electrical Structure of Power Systems," in IEEE Systems Journal, 2015
The "Power Transfer" distance was use to create each diagram (see ibid. Section II. 3) As such, the diagrams are electrically meaningful: loosely speaking, buses drawn in close proximity should be able to transact power with each other with ease.
Buses have been labelled as space permits, starting with the highest voltage buses first.
