PECD Hydro modelling This repository contains a more user-friendly version of the Hydro modelling data released by ENTSO-E with their latest Seasonal Outlook. The original URLs: The zipped file: https://eepublicdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/public-cdn-container/clean-documents/sdc-documents/seasonal/SOR2020/data/Hydro.zip The documentation file (v 1.0): https://eepublicdownloads.blob.core.windows.net/public-cdn-container/clean-documents/sdc-documents/MAF/2019/Hydropower_Modelling_New_database_and_methodology.pdf The original ENTSO-E hydropower dataset integrates the PECD (Pan-European Climate Database) released for the MAF 2019 As I did for the wind & solar data, the datasets released in this repository are only a more user- and machine-readable version of the original Excel files. As avid user of ENTSO-E data, with this repository I want to share my data wrangling efforts to make this dataset more accessible. Data description The zipped file contains 86 Excel files, two different files for each ENTSO-E zone. In this repository you can find 6 CSV files: PECD-hydro-capacities.csv: installed capacities PECD-hydro-weekly-inflows.csv: weekly inflows for reservoir and open-loop pumping PECD-hydro-daily-ror-generation.csv: daily run-of-river generation PECD-hydro-weekly-reservoir-min-max-generation.csv: minimum and maximum weekly reservoir generation PECD-hydro-weekly-reservoir-min-max-levels.csv: weekly minimum and maximum reservoir levels Capacities The file PECD-hydro-capacities.csv contains: run of river capacity (MW) and storage capacity (GWh), reservoir plants capacity (MW) and storage capacity (GWh), closed-loop pumping/turbining (MW) and storage capacity and open-loop pumping/turbining (MW) and storage capacity. The data is extracted from the Excel files with the name starting with PEMM from the following sections: sheet Run-of-River and pondage, rows from 5 to 7, columns from 2 to 5 sheet Reservoir, rows from 5 to 7, columns from 1 to 3 sheet Pump storage - Open Loop, rows from 5 to 7, columns from 1 to 3 sheet Pump storage - Closed Loop, rows from 5 to 7, columns from 1 to 3 Inflows The file PECD-hydro-weekly-inflows.csv contains the weekly inflow (GWh) for the climatic years 1982-2017 for reservoir plants and open-loop pumping. The data is extracted from the Excel files with the name starting with PEMM from the following sections: sheet Reservoir, rows from 13 to 66, columns from 16 to 51 sheet Pump storage - Open Loop, rows from 13 to 66, columns from 16 to 51 Daily run-of-river The file PECD-hydro-daily-ror-generation.csv contains the daily run-of-river generation (GWh). The data is extracted from the Excel files with the name starting with PEMM from the following sections: sheet Run-of-River and pondage, rows from 13 to 378, columns from 15 to 51 Miminum and maximum reservoir generation The file PECD-hydro-weekly-reservoir-min-max-generation.csv contains the minimum and maximum generation (MW, weekly) for reservoir-based plants for the climatic years 1982-2017. The data is extracted from the Excel files with the name starting with PEMM from the following sections: sheet Reservoir, rows from 13 to 66, columns from 196 to 231 sheet Reservoir, rows from 13 to 66, columns from 232 to 267 Minimum/Maximum reservoir levels The file PECD-hydro-weekly-reservoir-min-max-levels.csv contains the minimum/maximum reservoir levels at beginning of each week (scaled coefficient from 0 to 1). The data is extracted from the Excel files with the name starting with PEMM from the following sections: sheet Reservoir, rows from 14 to 66, column 12 sheet Reservoir, rows from 14 to 66, column 13 CHANGELOG [2020/07/17] Added maximum generation for the reservoir
