Base Cases
2012 Planning Base Case Suite
The AESO 2012 Planning Base Case Suite is an annually-published Base Case suite aligned with AESO’s redesigned Customer Connection process and the corresponding redesigned system planning processes. The Planning Base Case suite ensures a consistent starting-point for all planning functions, including internal Long Term Planning and System NIDs, as well as the external completion of Connection Proposals and NIDs. The suite comprises Summer Peak, Summer Light, and Winter Peak cases for each of the two-year, five-year and ten-year planning horizons. The suite also contains a set of auxiliary data archives containing additional information and data to be used with the base cases.
2014 Planning Base Cases
The AESO Planning Base Cases are provided in the formats of PSSE version 33 SAV file with powerflow and sequence data included. For compatibility with stakeholders using software not compatible with PSSE version 33, version 32 files have also been included. The topology in the base case suite includes all projects having passed Gate 2 of the projects process as of 15 December 2011, having a planned in-service date prior to 1 November 2014 (prior to 1 April 2015 for the Winter peak case)

2012 Planning Base Case Suite Auxiliary Files (February 2012)
The main auxiliary data archive contains a cover report describing the Base Cases. All Engineers planning to use the base cases to perform power system studies should refer to the cover report for background information essential to understanding the context and limitations of the base cases. The main auxiliary data archive also contains errata files which must be applied to the base cases as the first step in preparing a Study Case Suite from the base cases. Dynamic data is also included in the main auxiliary data archive.
