KPG 193 is a synthetic Korean power grid test dataset for power system research and analysis.
KPG 193 is a synthetic Korean power grid test system developed by the AGM Center at KENTECH using only publicly available data. It provides a standardized 193-bus representation of the Korean transmission network for reproducible power system studies.
KPG 193 is part of the KPG Testgrid module in the KPG (Korean Power Grid) Platform. It is designed to work with KPG Run for ED, UC, DC-OPF, and AC-OPF studies, and with KPG View for map-based visualization.
The dataset supports research on decarbonization, optimal power flow, resource adequacy, reliability, and renewable energy integration. It is released under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0) to support transparent and reproducible research.
