Electricity transmission system (2050) according to the Slow Progression scenario 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 the full transmission test network of Portugal as in 2050, considering a Slow Progression scenario which represents a lower demand increase and less renewables in the generation. The grid topology has been anonymized and contains 312 nodes, 592 branches and 8 interconnections with Spain. It is operated at 400 kV, 220 kV and 150 kV. There are 299 generators, and a label classifies each of them according to the generation technology type (e.g., Fossil Gas, Wind Onshore, etc.). A network model (MatPower format) including the grid information and considering realistic assumptions for unknown data was built from scratch taking into account the available public data released by the Portuguese TSO as in 2020 and then updated to 2050 conditions.
