A revised ACTIVSg200 (ACTIVSg200r
) synthetic grid (Illinois system) for multi-period analysis (e.g., Unit Commitment, look-ahead dispatch, etc), based on the original ACTIVSg200 system created by Texas A&M folks. All in Matpower format.
- System (case/data) files:
case_ACTIVSg200r.m
: revised ACTIVSg200 casefile, with additional ramping parameters and startup/shutdown cost parameters.scenarios_ACTIVSg200.m
: load profiles of 365 days in year 2017, (identical to the data in the originalACTIVSg200
system).contab_ACTIVSg200.m
: contingency table, (identical to the data in the originalACTIVSg200
system).xgd_ACTIVSg200r.m
: additional generator data (minup, mindown time, initial status).scenarios.mat
: a table saving all scenarios, identical as thechgtab
matrix inscenarios_ACTIVSg200.m
.ACTIVSg200r-InitialState.mat
: initial states of generators (for t=0, day 1), obtained by solving a single-snapshot UC (t=1, day 1).gendata_ACTIVSg200r.mat
: used inxgd_ACTIVSg200r.m
,minup
andmindown
data.
- Additional scripts:
revise_ACTIVSg200.m
: choose additional generator parameters, then create theACTIVSg200r
case.run_SCUC.m
: a short script of solving SCUC forACTIVSg200r
using MOST.
- Details about the original system
ACTIVSg200
can be found at Illinois 200-Bus System: ACTIVSg200 - A description of the initial algorithm used to develop these cases is given in [1].
The following changes have been made to ACTIVSg200
:
-
assign values of ZONE to BUS_AREA of mpc.bus
-
adding the following missing parameters
- missing MIN-ON time, MIN-OFF time
- missing startup/shutdown cost
- missing ramping parameters: RAMP_AGC, RAMP_10, RAMP_30
- (RAMP_Q remains missing in
ACTIVSg200r
)
range of parameters are from reference [2]. Details of how those parameters are chosen are in revise_ACTIVSg200r.m
-
change generator costs from quadratic to linear forms (in order to get a mixed integer linear program for SCUC)
-
change some line limits in order to create congestions (the original system has no congestion when solving SCUC)
