  This paper investigates the problem of generation and load settings in a
synthetic power grid modeling of high-voltage transmission network, considering
both electrical parameters and topology measures. Our previous study indicated
that the relative location of generation and load buses in a realistic grid are
not random but correlated. And an entropy based optimization approach has been
proposed to determine a set of correlated siting for generation and load buses
in a synthetic grid modeling. Using the exponential distribution of individual
generation capacity or load settings in a grid, and the non-trivial correlation
between the generation capacity or load setting and the nodal degree of a
generation or load bus we develop an approach to generate a statistically
correct random set of generation capacities and load settings, and then assign
them to each generation or load bus in a grid.
