Abstract

This paper describes an open-source library of transmission-level synchrophasor measurements, curated with the aim of accelerating data-driven research and development in the power systems domain. This dataset contains measurements describing both disturbances and ambient conditions, spans two years in time, and is sourced from electric utilities across the United States. Comprised of 1694 unique events, this is the largest open-source repository of real transmission-level PMU data to date, and will be invaluable for benchmarking new algorithms, testing tools and approaches developed by vendors and researchers, and developing educational tools for university students and control room operators. This paper additionally highlights several potential applications of the dataset.
