Harmonized and Open Energy Dataset for Modeling a Highly Renewable Brazilian Power System.

ABSTRACT: Improvements in modelling energy systems of populous emerging economies are highly decisive for a successful global energy transition. The models used-increasingly open source-still need more appropriate open data. As an illustrative example, we take the Brazilian energy system, which has great potential for renewable energy resources but still relies heavily on fossil fuels. We provide a comprehensive open dataset for scenario analyses, which can be directly used with the popular open energy system model PyPSA and other modelling frameworks. It includes three categories: (1) time series data of variable renewable potentials, electricity load profiles, inflows for the hydropower plants, and cross-border electricity exchanges; (2) geospatial data on the administrative division of the Brazil
