## About
This dataset contains the key data underlying the modelling activities of the MUSTEC project Deliverable 8.2 used in the models Green-X (TU Wien) and Enertile (Fraunhofer ISI). 
For increasing transparency in the approach used and the underlying data and results, key modelling data of the MUSTEC project is publicly available here.

We strongly encourage interested readers to interpret the results in combination with the analysed research questions (impact of cooperation for market uptake of CSP in the EU) 
and not to overinterpret detailed results out of context. Please refer to the detailed description of the modelled scenarios, results and findings in 
Resch, G., Schöniger, F., Kleinschmitt, C., Franke, K., Sensfuß, F., Thonig, R., and Lilliestam, J.: Market uptake of concentrating solar power in Europe: 
model-based analysis of drivers and policy trade-offs. Deliverable 8.2. MUSTEC project. TU Wien, Wien. The report is online available on the [MUSTEC website](https://www.mustec.eu/showcases-isotope).

The project analyses scenarios for market uptake of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) through cooperation in the EU. 
The database provided here contains technical and economic data on the energy system modelled (EU28, up to 2050). 

## MUSTEC project
For information on the MUSTEC project see: https://www.mustec.eu/
The project received support from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation program [MUSTEC (grant agreement No 764626) ](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/211264_en.html).

## Data description
We provide the data in form of .xlsx files containig various tabs for different scenarios/countries/results.

The modelling data for the Enertile model is available in the file “Data_Enertile_MUSTEC_D8.3.xlsx”.  
It contains the following tabs:

- Scenarios: Scenario definitions incl. abbreviations	
- Capacity:	Installed capacities for all considered scenarios for the years 2030 to 2050 and Installed Capacities in 2050 for all considered Scenarios	[GW]
- CSP_Cap_Country: Installed CSP capacity per country, year and scenario [GW]
- Generation: Generated electricity for the considered scenarios in 2030 to 2050 and Generated electricity in 2050 [TWh]
- Generation_Country: CSP electricity generation per scenario, country and year [TWh]
- Gap_CSP: Gap between total electricity demand and exogenously given generation which can be filled by CSP, (bio-)gas or wind offshore depending on the scenario [TWh]
- CO2_Costs: Underlying CO2-Costs for the considered scenarios	[EUR2010/t CO2]
- CO2_Emissions: CO2-Emissions per scenario and year [Mt]
- Trading_Volume: Net-Trading in the considered scenarios per year and country and Trading volume for the considered scenarios and years [TWh]
- Trading_Capacity: Trading capacity for the considered scenarios, years and countries, Total trading capacity per scenario and year, and Total trading capacity per year and scenario [GW]

The modelling data for the Green-X model is available in 15 detailed .xlsx files for each scenario ("Deails GX [scenario name].xlsx") as well as one file comparing the scenarios 
("Comparison MUSTEC GX scenarios.xlsx"). The detailed scenario files contain key assumptions, results on electricity generation, results on export expenditures and results on capital expenditures 
for overall EU28 and all single countries separately. The comparison file gives an overview of all scenarios on the EU28 level. 

The scenarios are:
- Coop - High Demand	
- Coop - High Demand (Low Carbon Price)
- Coop - Low Demand	
- Coop - High Demand - Limited Grid	
- Coop - High Demand - Low Climate Ambition	
- Coop - High Demand - Less Flexibility	
- NatPre - High Demand	
- NatPre - High Demand (Low Carbon Price)	
- NatPre - Low Demand	
- NatPre - High Demand - Limited Grid
- Grassroots – High Demand
- Coop – High Demand – High Country Risk
- Coop – High Demand – High Country Risk (Low Carbon Price)
- NatPre – High Demand – High Country Risk
- NatPre – High Demand – High Country Risk (Low Carbon Price)
