Microsoft Research builds realistic US power grid dataset from open data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Microsoft Research has developed a pipeline to construct realistic electric transmission grid models using only publicly available data. This initiative addresses the challenge of restricted access to critical infrastructure information, which hinders research and development in power systems. The resulting open dataset covers 48 U.S. states and interconnections, enabling physics-based analysis of grid behavior and supporting the development of AI-based solutions for grid planning and management. AI

IMPACT Enables data-driven and AI-based approaches for power grid analysis and planning by providing realistic, open-access grid models.

    Building realistic electric transmission grid dataset at scale: a pipeline from open dataset

    <p>Microsoft Research is excited to release an open dataset of approximate transmission topology of the U.S. power grid derived from publicly available data. The ability to study transmission-level power grid behavior is essential for modern power systems research. Analyses of co…
