“…It should be noted that there is another current approach to building large synthetic systems, as exemplified in [4], where geographic and other publicly available data is utilized to construct systems on a geographical footprint. The approach in [4] is therefore capable of providing far richer cases, in terms of included parameters, at the cost of currently requiring more fine-tuning by hand.…”

Abstract-Power systems are often described in terms of graphs, with various properties like load and impedance associated with the nodes and edges. These properties are coupled to the graph's topology, reflecting the great deal of engineering design in the power system. With the goal of automating the creation of usable synthetic cases, the problem of assigning these properties is considered. It is formulated as a Mixed Integer Program (MIP), which aims to minimize the angle differences between adjacent nodes in the system. Since the problem quickly balloons in size, a decomposition into smaller zones is explored, that enables scaling the problem to larger system sizes. Experiments demonstrate the efficacy and viability of the approach.

“…Works [7], [8], [9] provide readers more details on geographic substation placement, synthetic transmission line topology design and line parameter determination. As summarized in Fig.1, the network construction process is based on the statistics summarized from EI case, geographic relations, location-dependent load levels and generation capacities.…”

“…Until recently, there was limited work focusing on the creation of synthetic large-scale power system models using publicly available data to mimic the full complexity of today's electricity grids for energy economic studies. Our previous works [7], [8], [9] presented a methodology to create entirely fictitious synthetic power system networks that capture structural and functional characteristics of actual power grids 1 . To enable greater innovation on electricity markets, this paper aims to augment the synthetic power system networks with generator cost data, and thus provides realistic test cases for energy economic studies without revealing any sensitive information.…”

Due to information confidentiality issues, there is limited access to actual power system models that represent features of actual power grids for teaching, training, and research purposes. The authors' previous work describes the process of creating synthetic transmission networks, with statistics similar to those of actual power grids. Thus, this paper outlines a systematic methodology to augment the synthetic network base case for energy economic studies. The key step is to determine generator cost models by fuel type and capacity. Based on statistics summarized from the actual grids, two approaches are proposed to assign coefficients to generator cost models. To illustrate the proposed creation procedure, we describe the construction of a synthetic model for Electric Reliability Council of Texas footprint. Simulation results are presented to verify that the created test system is able to represent the behavior of actual power systems.
