Dataset Weather-Grid GridView Operations Dataset

This dataset contains time series of output operational features from production cost simulations over historical weather conditions. Datasets are presented with respect to the Western Interconnection of the US, on a zonal scale. Operational features are obtained from production cost simulations based on the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) 2032 Anchor Data Set (ADS), over weather conditions from 1982-2019.

Operational Time Series (GridView)

Each file contains an hourly time series over one year (8760 rows) of a particular operational feature, for each zone (columns). Scenario denotes the corresponding reference weather year (e.g. Y1982).

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.
