Data Format

This data archive consists of following three things:

1. Test Cases

All the test cases are in MATPOWER [1] case format. MATPOWER is a free open source package of MATLAB® M-files for solving power flow (PF) and optimal power flow(OPF) problems. A free copy of MATPOWER can be downloaded on this link. Since MATPOWER is MATLAB® based so a copy of MATLAB® would be required to use this package. For more information on data format of MATPOWER test cases, click here.

2. Wind Scenarios

Sample of 100 space-time scenarios are provided in csv and mat format. For more details refer to the following paper:

• • P. Pinson, Wind energy: Forecasting challenges for its operational management, Statistical Science, vol. 28, no. 4, pp. 564-585, 11, 2013.

3. MATLAB Scripts

A collection of MATLAB scripts are available. Refer to help section of each m-file for details about syntax and usage.
