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.

Demand Profiles

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

hour,bus_id,demandP,demandQ
1,1,62.588967343,6.2588967343

...
24,193,33.456789012,3.3456789012

Column definitions:

Column	Description	Unit
hour	Hour of the day	h
bus_id	Bus number	-
demandP	Active power demand	MW
demandQ	Reactive power demand	MVAr

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.

hour,bus_id,pv_profile_ratio,wind_profile_ratio,hydro_profile_ratio
1,1,0.0,0.0,0.04693539
2,1,0.0,0.0,0.04583103
3,1,0.0,0.0,0.04472667
...
12,1,0.847,0.234,0.165
...
24,193,0.0,0.182,0.078

Column definitions:

Column	Description	Unit	Range
hour	Hour of the day	1-24	Same as demand
bus_id	Bus number	1-193	Matches bus numbering
pv_profile_ratio	Solar PV capacity factor	0-1	Fraction of installed capacity
wind_profile_ratio	Wind capacity factor	0-1	Fraction of installed capacity
hydro_profile_ratio	Hydro capacity factor	0-1	Fraction of installed capacity

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.
