Model Data
All of the data used by the model is in the folder model-data. It contains the following folders and files.
\demands: hourly electricity demands (MWh) of each region in 2018.
Source: ENTSO-E.
\global-energy-gis: renewable energy data for 2018, created using GlobalEnergyGIS.jl.
The model currently uses hourly data on solar, offshore and onshore wind availability (%) as well as monthly data on run-of-the-river hydroelectricity (MWh).
Note: It is currently not possible to implement renewable energy targets as a share of the demand, only as an absolute value (see the docs and this discussion). Therefore, there are currently no renewable energy targets implemented.
\all_capacities.xlsx: total capacities (MW) of all power plants in given categories for each region.
Main sources: ENTSO-E for main installed capacities.
Additional sources:
- Adjustments for Sweden 1 and 2 (solar PV).
- Pumped-storage hydro (PSP) in Norway: 1 and 2.
- PSP in Lithuania (represents the entire Baltic): 1 and 2.
- Thermal generator flexibility: IRENA report 2019 (Table 1).
\gen_technology.xlsx: a variety of data on the different generation technologies, including costs, efficiency, emissions, etc.
Note: also contains separate sheets for hydro reservoirs and carbon tax.
Main source: Schröder, 2013, JRC ETRI 2014, Danish Energy Agency.
Additional sources: Aalto University (additional data),
IPCC 2006 default for emission factors,
Lappeenranta University (peat),
EASAC (oil shale).
\hydro_inflow.xlsx: weekly data (averaged on an hourly basis) on the energy equivalent of water inflow to reservoirs.
Water reservoirs are modelled differently in our model than in other generation technologies. The reservoirs are represented as nodes that have a state. This state corresponds to a certain amount of energy, which is ultimately the amount of water in all reservoirs. This state is fixed at the beginning and end of the model period, using real values as a reference. The inflow of water to the reservoirs is implemented as negative demand.
Sources: Reservoir inflow Norway, Reservoir inflow Sweden, Reservoir levels.
\model_parameters.xlsx: general model parameters (model duration, temporal resolution, etc.) and transmission data.
The model horizon is currently set to one year (2018), with an hourly temporal resolution. Options for rolling schedule (roll_forward) are available.
