Summary:The availability of large datasets is crucial for the development of new power system applications and tools; unfortunately, very few are publicly and freely available. We designed an end-to-end generative framework for the creation of synthetic bus-level time-series load data for transmission networks. The model is trained on a real dataset of over 70 Terabytes of synchrophasor measurements spanning multiple years. Leveraging a combination of principal component analysis and conditional generative adversarial network models, the scheme we developed allows for the generation of data at varying sampling rates (up to a maximum of 30 samples per second) and ranging in length from seconds to years. The generative models are tested extensively to verify that they correctly capture the diverse characteristics of real loads. Finally, we develop an open-source tool called LoadGAN which gives researchers access to the fully trained generative models via a graphical interface.
