Dataset for a Norwegian medium and low voltage power distribution system with industrial loads
Challenge and objective
- Although test grid models are available online, they are typically not representative for real grids. The strength of this reference grid and load data is that they describe a real, Norwegian grid with both commercial and industry loads, with hourly load data collected over three years.
Work performed
- Grid and load data for a real grid were converted to a MATPOWER grid model, simplified and anonymized.
Significant results
- A MV-LV distribution grid and load data set was established and published openly, providing useful test data for research and innovation purposes.
Impact for distribution system innovation
The dataset can be used to:​
- Analyze historic load behavior or predict future behavior​.
- Analyze the need for power system flexibility and reliability of supply.
- Test methods for grid planning.
- Develop methods and tools for finding remaining grid capacity.
