Hydropower #21
Comments
Notes on the to-do items (learn in a hydro-stream meeting with Davide, thanks!):
|
The validation is done, still to be done is a comparison with actual (new) values, as PyPSA-Earth uses 2013 as a benchmark year. |
build_renewable_profiles
. See alsobuild_renewable_profiles.ipynb
for more info on how hydro computations are done in pypsa-earth. That documentation of the dataset is: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels?tab=overview (look for variable "runoff").More details on the proposed metrics to validate hydropower:
Installed Power Capacity or “Nameplate Capacity” (unit: MW or GW) -> done in the “Installed Capacity Validation”.
Storage Capacity (unit: MWh or GWh).
Hydropower Potential. The hydropower potential should be evaluated in installed power capacity (unit: MW or GW), and/or in storage capacity (unit: MWh or GWh). @asolavi: It might be that only storage capacity potential is sensible to analyse, in the sense that one can put quite a few turbines in a hydropower station, increasing the power capacity significantly. On the other hand, the suitable places to build dams and the associated capacities do have a clear limit. To be discussed.
Capacity Factor
Water Inflows (unit: m^3 of water (or equivalent water unit) and/or MWh (or GWh)). @AnasAbuzayed @tacwebservices issue resolved here? @asolavi: yearly water inflows and capacity factors describe similar features. For hydro, water inflows might be a more natural metric.
Annual Generation (unit: MWh or GWh) -> This is an output of our model. Leave it for result analysis?
