Dataset to Study Flexibility Service Providers' Gaming Potential and its Impact on TSO-DSO Coordinated Markets

We publish the dataset and nomenclature table used to study the Flexibility Service Providers’ Gaming Potential and its Impact on TSO-DSO Coordinated Markets (paper published in the 2023 SEST conference).

The dataset is composed by an interconnected system consisting of the IEEE 14-bus (TN) transmission network connected to two distribution networks: the Matpower systems 69-bus (DN_69), and 141-bus (DN_141). All systems topology and some parameters are based on the corresponding cases in Matpower [1]. Injections and loads of the nodes are adapted to create an anticipated negative imbalance (total load surpassing total generation) in the interconnected system, resolved by upward flexibility. In addition, the lines’ upper limits are adjusted to create anticipated congestion in the networks. The interconnected system is fully represented in "Network.xlsx".
Upward and downward flexibility bids are randomly generated and allocated to the nodes. Their quantities are aligned with the nodes’ base injection/load and their marginal values are in the range [10, 26] euro/MW for downward, and marginal costs in the range [30, 73] euro/MW for upward, totaling 536 bids. 

4 bids lists are available in this dataset, to allow the strategic behavior analysis with different levels of liquidity:

- In the list of bids "case 0", all 536 bids are present.

- In the list of bids "case 1", 40% of bids in the transmission list are deleted (distribution bids are the same as in case 0).

- In the list of bids "case 2", 98% of the bids in the distribution bids are deleted (transmission bids are the same as in case 0).

- In the list of bids "case 3", only bids needed to solve distribution systems congestions are kept (all the others are deleted) (transmission bids are the same as in case 0).

Please notice that this dataset does not replace the information provided by Matpower related to the aforementioned systems. It rather uses those systems topology and some of their parameters to build a case study to investigate TSO-DSO coordination market models for the procurement of flexibility. For the full description of these systems, please visit: MATPOWER – Free, open-source tools for electric power system simulation and optimization.
