Daily profiles (2030) of load and generation of a semi-urban electricity distribution network from Portugal – ATTEST project

This dataset was prepared under the framework of the ATTEST project, financed by the European Commission with grant number 864298. The dataset contains information about a real Portuguese Distribution test network, totally anonymized, located in a semi-urban area as in 2030. A network file (including grid topology, nodes, generators, consumption, all of which connected by power lines or transformers) and auxiliary files are provided. The network file (MatPower format) includes a “snapshot” or “steady-state” at a given time with a converged power flow solution. The grid, which is operated at 15 kV, 30 kV and 60 kV, has 229 nodes (118 with consumption) and 229 branches. The auxiliary load data comprises 12  typical days representing the combination of each season and the type of day (business day, Saturday, Sunday) gathering the active and reactive consumption at each node of the network in intervals of 15 minutes. In addition, a “read me” file  called “Manual” includes technical detailed information about how to read the data properly. For the sake of coherence, each generation file should be used together with the respective load data file.

dc.Coverage.Spatial Network is geographically located in a semi-urban area.
dc.Coverage.Temporal The network characteristics represent the circumstances of 2030. Load profiles are expressed in intervals of 15 minutes for 12 typical days of the year: Business day, Saturday and Sunday for each season of the year.
dc.Created February, 2021
dc.Relation The point of connection of this network with the Portuguese transmission system (shared under the framework of the ATTEST project – DOI XXXX Dataset to appear) is stablished at 60 kV level, more precisely at bus 6 of the distribution network or bus 122 of the transmission network.
ddi.Software Any text editor to read the network file. Excel to read and operate load profiles. Matlab (with MatPower extension) or Pypower (Python) to test the network.
