Additional Insights in Creating Large-Scale, High Quality Synthetic Grids: A Case Study Conference Paper

abstract

• In this paper, a synthetic network has been developed to generate a fictitious but realistic power system model and improved based on the actual generation data on the Midwest U.S. footprint with capability to represent characteristic features of actual power grids, without revealing any confidential information. This synthetic network model is available online and can be shared freely for teaching, training, and research purposes. Geographic Data views (GDVs) and validation metrics derived from the North American Eastern Interconnect show the effectiveness and authenticity of the developed grid.
