Hi,
Currently looking to modify the Germany example for a UK based market using my own csv data files. I was hoping to find out what units the csv files in the time step are in and also is the solar profile for a single user?
Kind regards
Serge
Hi Serge,
the units of the Germany2019 timeseries are as follows:
| File | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
availability.csv |
Percentage of availability (0 → not available vs. 1 → fully available) | 1 |
Biomass_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of biomass generation | 1 |
co2_price.csv |
Price of CO2 emission allowances | EUR/t_CO2 |
demand_with_ImportsExports.csv |
Hourly electricity demand to be served | MWh/h |
hard_coal_cost.csv |
Delivery price to power plant per thermal MWH of hard coal | EUR/MWh_th |
natural_gas_cost.csv |
Delivery price to power plant per thermal MWH of natural gas | EUR/MWh_th |
oil_cost.csv |
Delivery price to power plant per thermal MWH of oil | EUR/MWh_th |
Other_res_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of generation for power plants declared as “other renewables” | 1 |
runofriver_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of generation for run-of-river power plants | 1 |
Solar_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of generation for PV power plants | 1 |
WindOffshore_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of generation for off-shore wind power plants | 1 |
WindOnshore_profile.csv |
Normalized profile of generation for on-shore wind power plants | 1 |
FYI: We have also added this information to the examples repository (commit eed9a878) to be shipped with the upcoming release.
The solar profiles resemble the feed-in for all of Germany (roof-top + large PV sites). Therefore, it is not to be confused with a “single-user” or house-hold feed-in profile.
Best,
Felix
Thank you felix this has proved very useful!
