Dataset Storage Sizing Model Dataset

This dataset contains time series of output operational features from production cost simulations. These datasets are configured as inputs to the storage sizing model available at link_to_storage_sizing_model. Datasets are presented with respect to the Western Interconnection of the US, on a zonal scale. Data for four generation and transmission infrastructure scenarios are presented: BAU (Business-as-Usual), HV (High-Variable), UBI (Unbounded Interfaces), UBL (Unbounded Lines).

Operational Time Series

Each file contains an hourly time series over one year (8760 rows) of a particular operational feature, for each zone (columns).

1. curtailment_{scenario}.csv: Hourly energy curtailed in MWh
2. import_limits_{scenario}.csv: Hourly limit on energy imports in MWh. Computed as the sum of incident transmission line thermal ratings.
3. lmps_{scenario}.csv: Hourly locational marginal price in $/MWh.
4. load_shed_{scenario}.csv: Hourly unserved energy in MWh.
5. load_{scenario}.csv: Hourly energy demand in MWh.
6. net_imports_{scenario}.csv: Hourly net imported energy in MWh. Positive denotes imports, negative denotes exports.
