Modified pool system based on the IEEE RTS-96 system incl. 39 wind power producers

This is the data-set associated  with the numerical simulations in the paper "A. Papakonstantinou, P. Pinson, Population Dynamics for Renewables in Electricity Markets: A Minority Game View". The paper will be presented in 2016 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS) in Oct. 16-20, 2016 in Beijing, China.

We modify the original data-set [1] by adding the marginal costs for conventional generation introduced by [2] and flexible generators capable of providing up and down regulation following [3].  The cost of up-regulation is assumed to be 10% higher than the day-ahead cost and the cost of down-regulation 9% less than the day-ahead ahead costs.

Furthermore, regarding stochastic generation, we assume zero marginal and cost free spilling action, while load shedding induces a cost of 1000 EUR/MWh. Finally, we assume that the total demand is at 80% of the conventional generation [3], while the total capacity of the 39 stochastic producers is at 30% of the demand.

Within the data file the specific data used for the analysis in the paper are under pes_input().
