Auxiliary Euro-Calliope datasets: Spatio-temporal data representing national cooking demand and electric vehicle characteristic profiles in Europe

Output generated by the RAMP engine for use in the Sector-Coupled Euro-Calliope model. The three datasets in this repository are described briefly here and in more detail in the accompanying README files. Each dataset has an hourly temporal resolution spanning the years 2000 - 2018 (inclusive) and a national spatial resolution spanning 26* - 28** countries in Europe. All datasets are dimensionless; only the profile shapes are used in Euro-Calliope.

• Cooking energy demand profiles (ramp-cooking-profiles): Profiles of heat energy demand for cooking in buildings in Europe, stochastically generated using the RAMP model [1]. These profiles are used to distribute annual cooking energy demand in the Euro-Calliope workflow. This dataset covers 28 European countries**.
• Electric vehicle plug-in profiles (ramp-ev-plugin-profiles): Profiles of the percentage of parked electric vehicles, stochastically generated using the RAMP-Mobility model [2]. These profiles are used in Euro-Calliope to define the maximum number of electric vehicles that could be plugged in and therefore available to be charged at any given time, assuming controlled (or "smart") charging. This dataset covers 26 European countries*.
• Electric vehicle energy consumption profiles (ramp-ev-consumption-profiles): Profiles of the electricity consumption of  electric vehicles, stochastically generated using the RAMP-Mobility model [2]. These profiles are aggregated in Euro-Calliope to provide a required percentage of total vehicle electricity demand that must be met in each month. This dataset covers 26 European countries*.
