| Description | Simulated hourly country-aggregated PV and wind capacity factors for Europe |
| Notes | 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 |
| Last changes | Include data up to 2019 |
