Dataset for Netload Range Cost Curves for Coordinated Transmission-Distribution Planning Under DER Growth Uncertainty

This dataset provides the parameters and topologies for the distribution networks and the transmission network used in our unpublished paper, Netload Range Cost Curves for Coordinated Transmission-Distribution Planning Under DER Growth Uncertainty. In that paper, we introduce the Netload Range Cost Curve (NRCC) methodology to facilitate coordinated long-term planning between transmission and distribution systems, particularly under uncertain growth of behind-the-meter renewable energy sources. The distribution networks in this dataset are based on data from the SmartDS resource [1], while the transmission network is derived from the California Test System (CATS) [2].[1] National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
