DATAPACKAGE: TIME SERIES
===========================================================================



by Open Power System Data: http://www.open-power-system-data.org/

Package Version: 2016-10-27

Load, wind and solar, prices in hourly resolution

This data package contains different kinds of timeseries data relevant for
power system modelling, namely electricity consumption (load) for 36
European countries as well as wind and solar power generation and
capacities and prices for a growing subset of countries. The timeseries
become available at different points in time depending on the sources. The
data has been downloaded from the sources, resampled and merged in a large
CSV file with hourly resolution. Additionally, the data available at a
higher resolution (Some renewables in-feed, 15 minutes) is provided in a
separate file. 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 35 European countries.

We follow the Data Package standard by the Frictionless Data project, a
part of the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://frictionlessdata.io/
