KPG 193 Test System
KPG 193 is a synthetic Korean power grid test system developed using open data sources. It aims to provide a foundational framework for modeling and analyzing the Korean power grid.
The system includes:
- 193 buses with spatial information
- 122 conventional generators
- 359 transmission lines
- Capacity of renewable generators
- 8760-hour profiles for electrical demand, weather data, and renewable generators
Datasets and documentation
released 2026-08-24
- Demand and renewable profiles: switched to a system-demand-based methodology.
- Generator parameters: refined.
- Metadata: expanded to include pumped storage, with a hierarchical structure.
