Dataset for optimal Wind+Hydrogen+Other+Battery+Solar (WHOBS) electricity systems for European countries

Data outputs from optimisation of Wind+Hydrogen+Other+Battery+Solar (WHOBS) electricity systems for European countries.

Input data and code can be found here:

To load the data, install PyPSA and do e.g. for Germany (DE) in 2030:

network = pypsa.Network("DE-2030.nc")

Note that in these files, in some hours batteries discharge and charge at the same time. This is because the model wants to dump energy and this behaviour has the same cost and effect as curtailing wind and solar. In the latest version of the github code, wind and solar have tiny marginal costs (0.02 and 0.01 EUR/MWh respectively) to prevent this behaviour. With these costs, curtailment is preferred.
