Summary

The objective of the research is to develop algorithms and methods for creating synthetic electricity networks for regions with limited access to detailed power system data, particularly in parts of Africa, South America, and Asia. These realistic yet publicly available models are designed to resemble actual grids in terms of scale and complexity, enabling advanced analysis in regions where such datasets do not exist. By tailoring methodologies to the unique geographical and infrastructural contexts of underrepresented areas, my work provides a foundational resource for integrating renewable energy, long-term planning, and resilience-building in the global power sector.
