Description: Pre-built data of high-voltage transmission grid in Europe from OpenStreetMap.
This dataset contains a topologically connected representation of the European high-voltage grid (220 kV to 750 kV) constructed using OpenStreetMap data. Input data was retrieved using the Overpass turbo API. A heurisitic cleaning process was used to for lines and links where electrical parameters are incomplete, missing, or ambiguous. Close substations within a radius of 500 m are aggregated to single buses, exact locations of underlying substations is preserved. Unique identifiers for lines and links are preserved.
A detailed explanation on the background, methodology, and validation of this dataset can be found in this paper preprint currently under peer-review.
