In-depth data on the network structure and hourly activity of the Central Chilean power grid.

ABSTRACT: Network science enables us to improve the performance of complex systems such as traffic, communication, and power grids. To do so, it is necessary to use a well-constructed flawless network dataset associated with the system of interest. In this study, we present the dataset of the Chilean power grid. We harmonized data from three diverse sources to generate a unified dataset. Through an intensive review on the raw data, we filter out inconsistent errors and unrealistic faults, making the data more trustworthy. In contrast to other network dataset for power grids, we especially focus on preserving the physical structure of nodes' connection incorporating the 'tap' structure. As a result, we provide three different versions of the dataset: 'with-tap', 'without-tap', and 'reduced versions'. Along with structure, we incorporate various attributes of the nodes and edges such as the geo-coordinates, voltage of transmission lines, and the time series data of generation or consumption. These data are useful for network scientists to analyze the performance and dynamic stability of power grids.
