DATAPACKAGE: RENEWABLE POWER PLANTS =========================================================================== https://doi.org/10.25832/renewable_power_plants/2019-04-05 by Open Power System Data: http://www.open-power-system-data.org/ Package Version: 2019-04-05 List of renewable energy power stations This Data Package contains a list of renewable energy power plants in lists of renewable energy-based power plants of Germany, Denmark, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Poland. Germany: More than 1.7 million renewable power plant entries, eligible under the renewable support scheme (EEG). Denmark: Wind and phovoltaic power plants with a high level of detail. France: Aggregated capacity and number of installations per energy source per municipality (Commune). Poland: Summed capacity and number of installations per energy source per municipality (Powiat). Switzerland: Renewable power plants eligible under the Swiss feed in tariff KEV (Kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung). United Kingdom: Renewable power plants in the United Kingdom. Due to different data availability, the power plant lists are of different accurancy and partly provide different power plant parameter. Due to that, the lists are provided as seperate csv-files per country and as separate sheets in the excel file. Suspect data or entries with high probability of duplication are marked in the column 'comment'. Theses validation markers are explained in the file validation_marker.csv. Additionally, the Data Package includes daily time series of cumulated installed capacity per energy source type for Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. All data processing is conducted in Python and pandas and has been documented in the Jupyter Notebooks linked below. The data package covers the geographical region of Germany, Denmark, France, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom. 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. For the full documentation, please see the notebook script that was used to generate the data package.
