Seeking Electric Grid Congestion Data For Research Project On Estimating Local Voltage Levels

Hello, Fellow Data Enthusiasts!

I am looking for a dataset about electric grid congestion for a potential research project.

The central objective is to devise a robust methodology for estimating local voltage levels. This estimation process should consider historical data including voltage level, local supply, and local demand, as well as forecasted demand and power generation data. The product will be a risk classification, supplemented by a confidence level, indicating the likelihood of grid congestion based on the forecasted voltage level.

🔍 Dataset Details:

Ideally, the data should contain information about grid-level 7, but data about other levels would also be beneficial. A proposed structure for the dataset would be as follows:

Time-Series Data

Timestamp Generator ID Node ID House ID Solar Generation (optional) Other Generation (optional) Residential Demand (kW) 2023-10-23 12:00:00 G1 N1 H1 2.0 0.0 6.0 2023-10-23 12:15:00 G2 N2 H2 1.7 0.0 9.0 …. … … … … … …

Node Data

🚧 Challenges Faced:

While I’ve tried sourcing data locally, DSOs in Switzerland have proven to be protective of their data. Thus, turning to this knowledgeable community in hopes of discovering alternative avenues or potential sources where such data might be available.

🤖 Synthetic Data:

I’ve examined synthetic data like SimBench, yet securing real data would be a genuine game-changer for this project.

🙏 Your Help:

If anyone is aware of where to find real data that aligns with the aforementioned structure or any related data source that could be helpful, it would genuinely make my day 🙂

Thank You in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and for any guidance or pointers that you may be able to provide! Feel free to DM if you have data or information you prefer not to share publicly.
