Records of faults occurring on the South African power transmission system over a 16-year period have been collected. Over 12000 faults were analysed to find statistical relationships between local climate, key design parameters of the overhead lines, and the main causes of power system faults identified as
bird streamers, lightning, fire and pollution. The results characterize the performance of the South African transmission system on a probabilistic basis and illustrate differences in fault cause statistics for the summer and winter rainfall areas of South Africa and for different times of the year and day. The analysis illustrates the effectiveness of bird guards on towers.

Thank you so much for help. These files will be useful adding more knowledge.
What I need is about impedance, generators, transformers data, and so on, of a real system. For example, files similar to power system test case found at https://www.ee.washington.edu/research/pstca/. Up to 20-30 buses is fine. Data from article are welcome too.
I have a doubt: could you inform me where I find about the test case database in this *.pdf file? I realize it is the same file suggested by M. Eidiani. Thank you...
