Dataset for simulation of a low-carbon urban energy system using the Backbone model

The dataset contains the input data for cost optimization of an urban energy system. The case study has been described in the article "Impact of power-to-gas on the cost and design of the future low-carbon urban energy system" of Applied Energy.

The dataset is in Microsoft Excel format. To make it available for GAMS, one should use e.g. the attached shell script (requires GAMS installation) to convert it to *.gdx file. The generation expansion model is available in the Git repository https://gitlab.vtt.fi/backbone/backbone (under branch projik/planet).
