🗺️ KPG Test System

A synthetic Korean power grid developed using open data sources to support decarbonization research.

Key Features:

  • 193 buses with realistic spatial distribution
  • 122 generators (Coal, LNG, Nuclear)
  • 407 transmission lines across 5 regions
  • 8760-hour profiles for demand and renewable generation
  • MATPOWER-compatible format

⚡ KPG Run

A desktop application for solving various power system optimization problems with production-grade solvers.

Available Models:

  • Economic Dispatch (ED) - Simple cost minimization
  • Unit Commitment (UC) - Day-ahead scheduling with commitment decisions
  • DC Optimal Power Flow (DC-OPF) - Linearized network-constrained dispatch
  • AC Optimal Power Flow (AC-OPF) - Full AC power flow analysis

Capabilities:

  • Interactive map-based network visualization
  • Real-time power flow animation
  • Generation and load distribution analysis
  • Filtering by voltage level, fuel type, and status
  • Export and sharing capabilities
