power — Western US Power Grid

Description: Undirected network representing the topology of the high-voltage power grid of the Western States of the United States, compiled by D. J. Watts and S. H. Strogatz, who used it as an example of a small-world network. Nodes are generators, transformers and substations, and an edge connects two nodes if they are connected by a high-voltage transmission line. The data were obtained from the network data collection of M. E. J. Newman, and the node IDs are the same as those used by Watts.
