This repository contains the Matpower files of a synthetic network model for National Electricity Market (NEM) of Australia.
- `snem2000.m' contains synthetic network data for all states.
- `snem1803.m' contains synthetic network data for the mainland sub-network.
- `snem197.m' contains synthetic network data for Tamania sub-network.
- `snem2000_acdc.m' contains synthetic network data for all states, including three hvdc interconnectors and converter stations.
- `snem2000_tnep' contains nine transmission network expansion line candidates.
The data set development algorithm and technical report can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.08176, with CSIRO Data Access Portal release at https://doi.org/10.25919/esxz-q276. The network data are also available at https://github.com/power-grid-lib/pglib-opf/releases/tag/v23.07.
A webinar presenting the model and proof-of-concept studies is availabel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2BG1t8fdts&ab_channel=RahmatHeidari
MATPOWER solves the cases using either IPOPT or Artelys Knitro with the default parameters.
- r = runopf('snem2000', mpoption('verbose', 2, 'opf.ac.solver', 'IPOPT'));
- r = runopf('snem2000', mpoption('verbose', 2, 'opf.ac.solver', 'KNITRO'));
The default MIPS solver can also solve the problem with on step-size control and increase the number of iterations.
- e.g. r = runopf('snem2000', mpoption('verbose', 2, 'mips.step_control', 1, 'mips.max_it', 400));
Several scripts are provided to showcase how the data can be used for research studies:
- PowerModels: Optimal power flow relaxations using PowerModels.jl
- PowerModelsACDC: Optimal power flow relaxations of the netowrk with HVDC lines using PowerModelsACDC.jl
- PowerSimulations: Unit commitment and economic dispatch studies using PowerSimulations.jl
- PowerModels_tnep: Transmission network expansion planning study using PowerModels.jl
- SecurityConstrained: Study of security constrained optimal power flow using PowerModelsACDCsecurityconstrained.jl
