Hi, I'm fairly new to Matpower and Power Systems in general, I'm approaching this domain more from a performance optimisation angle - trying to optimise the sparse linear and nonlinear solvers used in power flow problems.
I'd like to generate larger test cases (1M+ buses) so I can benchmark the performance and scalability of some existing solvers as well as my own. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a method or some texts which explain clearly how to generate a large test case either completely synthetic (but with some reasonable resemblance to real life data) or by scaling existing IEEE test cases. If anyone can suggest how to do this in Matpower or Pypower that would be even more helpful. Kind regards, Paul
