Augmented Texas 7000-bus synthetic grid

<b>Augmented Texas 7000-bus synthetic grid</b>

<p>Augmented version of the <a href="https://electricgrids.engr.tamu.edu/texas7k/">synthetic Texas 7k dataset published by Texas A&M University</a>. The system has been populated with high-resolution distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation, comprising 4,499 PV plants of varying sizes with associated time series for 1 year of operation.</p>

<p>This high-resolution dataset was produced following publicly available data and it is free of <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/ceii">CEII</a>. Details on the procedure followed to generate the PV dataset can be found in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.2172/2484228">Open COG Grid Project Year 1 Report</a> (Chapter 6).</p>

<p>The technical data of the system is provided using the (open) <a href="https://github.com/llnl/ctm">CTM specification</a> for easy accessibility from Python without additional packages (data can be loaded as a dictionary). The time series for demand and PV production are provided as a <a href="https://www.hdfgroup.org/solutions/hdf5/">HDF5</a> file, also loadable with standard open-source tools. We additionally provide example scripts for parsing the data in Python.</p>
