Abstract

This technical report provides a global collection of temporal data of the power sector covering about 60 countries and regions worldwide. This global collection makes available temporal data of electricity load as well as power generation from wind and solar. The temporal data consists of hourly time series and representative daily profiles. This wealth of data can be visualised in interactive data viewers publicly accessible online. The time series for electricity load cover at least a period of one year and up to 10 years. The time series for wind and solar generation span from 2004 to 2018 and are derived from meteorological data provided by satellite reanalysis data. The wind and solar time series are provided for different spatial distributions of generator locations in order to examine the effect of spatial capacity distributions on the time series. The representative daily profiles are calculated based on five different clustering methods. Different shares of wind and solar in the power mix are taken into account according to the 2°C scenario of Global Energy and Climate Outlook 2018 for scenario years 2010 to 2100. As a result, representative daily profiles (electricity load, wind & solar, net load) for almost any country or region of the world are made available for a range of spatial capacity distributions, clustering methods, wind & solar shares and number of representative daily profiles.
