EMHIRES dataset: wind and solar power generation [archived]

Description

This repository is now archived. The official repository for the EMHIRES dataset is now EMHIRES dataset: wind and solar power generation | Zenodo

EMHIRES Wind

The first version of EMHIRES dataset releases four different files about the wind power generation hourly time series during 30 years (1986-2015), taking into account the existing wind fleet at the end of 2015, for each country (onshore and offshore), bidding zone and by NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 region. The time series are given as capacity factors. The installed capacity used accounted for calculating the capacity factors are summarised in the annexes of the report.

EMHIRES Solar

EMHIRES provides RES-E generation time series for the EU-28 and neighbouring countries. The solar power time series are released at hourly granularity and at different aggregation levels: by country, power market bidding zone, and by the European Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) defined by EUROSTAT; in particular, by NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 level. The time series provided by bidding zones include special aggregations to reflect the power market reality where this deviates from political or territorial boundaries.

The overall scope of EMHIRES is to allow users to assess the impact of meteorological and climate variability on the generation of solar power in Europe and not to mime the actual evolution of solar power production in the latest decades. For this reason, the hourly solar power generation time series are released for meteorological conditions of the years 1986-2015 (30 years) without considering any changes in the solar installed capacity. Thus, the installed capacity considered is fixed as the one installed at the end of 2015. For this reason, data from EMHIRES should not be compared with actual power generation data other than referring to the reference year 2015.
