Texas A&M Smart Grid Center: synthetic (yet realistic) power system grids 
                                                                          
Group name: TAMU_SmartGridCenter                                          
                                                                          
Synthetic electric grid models are fictitious representations that are    
designed to be statistically and functionally similar to actual electric  
grids while containing no confidential critical energy infrastructure     
information (CEII).  Some of these cases were developed with the support  
of the U.S. DOE ARPA-E Grid Data program; their support is gratefully     
acknowledged.

ACTIVSg70K is a 70,000-bus power system dataset that is entirely          
synthetic, built from public information and a statistical analysis of    
real power systems.  Its geographic footprint is the Eastern United       
States, but it bears no relation to any actual grid, except that          
generation and load profiles are similar, based on public data. This      
matrix is the linearized or "dc" power flow susceptance matrix.
