RTS-GMLC

Reliability Test System - Grid Modernization Lab Consortium

This repository is for the Reliability Test System Grid Modernization Lab Consortium (RTS-GMLC) which is an updated version of the RTS-96 test system. A summary of updates can be found in GMLC_updates.md.

This repository, and the associated data has been developed to facilitate Production Cost Modeling. Reliability calculations using the updated RTS-GMLC data in this repository amd the RTS3 program, provided by Gene Preston can be found here. RTS-GMLC-layers

The RTS_Data folder contains data in an open csv format, and in grid modeling tool specific formats:

  1. SourceData contains several csv files that describe all the RTS-GMLC data.
  2. FormattedData contains folders for each tool specific data format. Each tool specific folder is also intended to contain a script that automates the conversion from SourceData in addition to solutions obtained from each tool in the FormattedData/*tool*/*tool*_Solution folder. Currently datasets are included in the following formats:

TODO and Identified Areas of Improvement:

  • Conventional Plant Data:
    • Add information about different operating configuration for combined cycle plants
    • Evaluate/address the realism of the relative sizes of units in different categories
  • Wind and Solar Data:
    • Update to the state-of-the-art datasets (NSRDB and WindToolkit) and add raw weather data

Setup

git clone [email protected]:GridMod/RTS-GMLC.git
cd RTS-GMLC
git submodule init
git submodule update
