DATAPACKAGE: RENEWABLES.NINJA PV AND WIND PROFILES =========================================================================== by Open Power System Data: http://www.open-power-system-data.org/ Package Version: 2017-07-19 Simulated hourly country-aggregated PV and wind capacity factors for Europe This data package contains simulated wind and PV capacity factors from Renewables.ninja, at hourly resolution, for all European countries. Unlike the time series data package, which contains data reported from network operators, this package contains simulated data using historical weather conditions. -- License: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/. -- More information and references to cite when using these data: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2016.08.060 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2016.08.068 -- The data are generated using the MERRA-2 reanalysis, for current PV and Wind capacities in Europe. For more data, e.g. PV simulations based on the SARAH dataset and future wind capacity factors, see https://www.renewables.ninja/#/country The data package covers the geographical region of 36 European countries. We follow the Data Package standard by the Frictionless Data project, a part of the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://frictionlessdata.io/ Documentation and script =========================================================================== This README only contains the most basic information about the data package.
