Temporal Profiles

The KPG 193 test system provides comprehensive temporal data covering a full year of power system operation. This page explains the structure of hourly profile files and how to work with time-series data. All temporal data is organized into 365 daily files, each containing 24 hourly values for all 193 buses.

File naming convention:

• Demand: daily_demand_[day].csv where day ∈ {1, 2, ..., 365}

• Renewables: renewables_[day].csv

• Weather: weather_[day].csv

• UC results: commitment_decision_[day].csv

Demand Profiles

File format: daily_demand_[day].csv — Hourly active and reactive power demand for all 193 buses.

Column definitions:

Reactive power: Fixed at approximately Q = 0.1 × P (power factor ~0.995)

Renewable Generation Profiles

File format: renewables_[day].csv — Hourly capacity factors for solar, wind, and hydro generation at all 193 buses.

Column definitions:

How to use:

• Actual generation: Multiply capacity factor by installed capacity from renewables_capacity/ files

Weather Data

File format: weather_[day].csv — Meteorological variables from Korea's LDAPS (Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System) used to generate renewable profiles.

Column definitions:

File Format: commitment_decision_[day].csv

Each file contains binary commitment decisions (on/off) for all 122 generators over 24 hours.
