Data bundle for egon-data: A transparent and reproducible data processing pipeline for energy system modeling

egon-data provides a transparent and reproducible open data based data processing pipeline for generating data models suitable for energy system modeling. The data is customized for the requirements of the research project eGoⁿ. The research project aims to develop tools for an open and cross-sectoral planning of transmission and distribution grids. For further information please visit the eGoⁿ project website or its Github repository.

egon-data retrieves and processes data from several different external input sources. As not all data dependencies can be downloaded automatically from external sources we provide a data bundle to be downloaded by egon-data.

The following data sets are part of the available data bundle:

1. climate_zones_germany
   • Climate zones in Germany
   • source: Own representation based on DWD TRY climate zones
2. geothermal_potential
   • Spatial distribution of deep geothermal potentials in Germany
