PyPSA-Eur is an open model dataset of the European power system at the transmission network level that covers the full ENTSO-E area. It can be built using the code provided at https://github.com/PyPSA/PyPSA-eur. It contains alternating current lines at and above 220 kV voltage level and all high voltage direct current lines, substations, an open database of conventional power plants, time series for electrical demand and variable renewable generator availability, and geographic potentials for the expansion of wind and solar power. Not all data dependencies are shipped with the code repository, since git is not suited for handling large changing files. Instead we provide separate data bundles to be downloaded and extracted as noted in the documentation. This is the full data bundle to be used for rigorous research. It includes large bathymetry and natural protection area datasets. While the code in PyPSA-Eur is released as free software under the MIT, different licenses and terms of use apply to the various input data, which are summarised below: corine/* CORINE Land Cover (CLC) database Source: https://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/corine-land-cover/clc-2012/ Terms of Use: https://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/corine-land-cover/clc-2012?tab=metadata natura/* Natura 2000 natural protection areas Source: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/natura-10 Terms of Use: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/natura-10#tab-metadata gebco/GEBCO_2014_2D.nc GEBCO bathymetric dataset Source: https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/version_20141103/ Terms of Use: https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/documents/gebco_2014_historic.pdf je-e-21.03.02.xls Population and GDP data for Swiss Cantons Source: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/news/whats-new.assetdetail.7786557.html Terms of Use: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/fso/swiss-federal-statistical-office/terms-of-use.html https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/bfs/oeffentliche-statistik/copyright.html nama_10r_3popgdp.tsv.gz Population by NUTS3 region Source: http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=nama_10r_3popgdp&lang=en Terms of Use: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/about/policies/copyright GDP_per_capita_PPP_1990_2015_v2.nc Gross Domestic Product per capita (PPP) from years 1999 to 2015 Rectangular cutout for European countries in PyPSA-Eur, including a 10 km buffer Kummu et al.

The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 30 arc (approximately 1km at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84. The units are number of people per pixel. The mapping approach is Random Forest-based dasymetric redistribution.
