Infeasible 179-Bus - Phase 0

Abstract

This dataset is composed of 10 scenarios based on the 179 bus model of the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WECC/WSCC) developed at the University of Wisconsin – Madison ("DC Multi-infeed Study," Electric Power Res. Inst. TR-104586, Dec. 1994.) For this dataset special emphasis was placed on generating a large set of security contingencies. Multiple scenarios were generated by random perturbation of limits, e.g. on generator power output and branch flows, and ten were selected has having no known feasible solution. Since the initial selection, scenarios 2, 3, and 4 have been shown to be feasible.
