The construction of the model is detailed here. <strong>Features</strong>: Precise distribution of national demands to network buses. Realistic electrical parameters of transmission lines. Merit-Order based economic dispatch of generators. Dynamical parameters of generators and loads for transient stability investigations. <strong>Files:</strong> Data files: Our model is provided in an extended Matpower format and as csv raw data. For more information on Matpower format, see Appendix B of its manual. Script files: <em>opf_ex.m </em>performs optimal power flow computations for two load configurations.<br> <em>spectral_ex.m</em> presents a basic spectral analysis.<br> <em>dynamics</em><em>_ex.m</em> give a minimal example of dynamical simulations. <strong>Requirements:</strong> Our model has been developed for use with Matpower.
