├── README.md └── climatereanalysis.md /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # List of datasets of climate-derived energy variables 2 | 3 | This is a work-in-progress list of all the free (non commercial) datasets of energy variables based on climate models, satellite, reanalyses. 4 | 5 | The idea of sharing this list came after the [Next Generation Challenges in Energy-Climate Modelling](https://blogs.reading.ac.uk/weather-and-climate-at-reading/2020/keeping-the-lights-on-a-new-generation-of-research-into-climate-risks-in-energy-systems/) workshop and many people who attended the workshop helped me to fill the gaps. 6 | 7 | The list has also been posted on the [OpenMod forum](https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/t/freely-available-datasets-of-energy-variables/2291) and I will do my best to keep that one in sync. 8 | 9 | If you want to update/modify/add please open an Issue or send a Pull Request. Or use [Twitter](twitter.com/matteodefelice) or send me an [email](matteo.de-felice@ec.europa.eu). 10 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /climatereanalysis.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Climate reanalysis datasets 2 | This page contains a list of all the **freely available** datasets of energy variables (electricity demand, wind/solar/hydro-power) reconstructions based on climate reanalyses or climate change projections. 3 | 4 | The list is a work-in-progress, please reply to this post if you want to add a dataset or suggest a correction. 5 | 6 | The acronym `CF` stands for "Capacity factor", the ratio between the energy output and the total installed capacity. 7
