Electric Grid Test Case Repository

A repository of test cases for power flow, economics, dynamics, and geomagnetic disturbance analysis of power systems can be accessed at this website.

All test cases displayed at that website are non-confidential, and free to the public. These include use cases on synthetic electric grid data, such as the one shown below.
