Synthetic Distribution Grid Model for Eindhoven Neighborhoods

A 2021 synthetic model of the electricity distribution grid for five neighborhoods in Eindhoven, Netherlands, created by Antoine Bidel and Tom Schelo. The model covers areas including Schouwbroek, Philipsdorp, and Engelsbergen, with a total population of over 9,600 inhabitants. It is designed for use with the FLEDGE software package and is available via Zenodo and GitHub.

Use Cases

• Simulating electricity load profiles based on residential and non-residential consumer models mentioned in the description
• Analyzing grid stability and planning for distributed energy resources (DERs) integration as referenced in the file instructions
• Conducting geospatial analysis of urban infrastructure using the provided polygon coordinates for the Eindhoven study area
• Testing scenario-based grid operations by modifying the required 'scenario.csv' data file

Strengths

• Includes a specific geographic boundary defined by a detailed polygon coordinate string
• Covers five named neighborhoods with explicit population counts provided (e.g., 1530 inhabitants in Schouwbroek)
• Associated with a specific software tool (FLEDGE v0.4.1) and has a documented DOI (10.5281/zenodo.4896047)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
