Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 501 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

FACTS device ID unique
Device type: SVC (Static VAR Compensator), STATCOM, TCSC, SSSC, UPFC
Rating: MVAR for SVC/STATCOM, % compensation for series devices
Control mode: voltage control, VAR control, power flow control
Response time: typically < 1 cycle for STATCOM
Operating range: capacitive and inductive MVAR
Voltage setpoint and droop characteristics
