The german electricity system in 2030: data on consumption, generation, and the grid

Abstract: This publication includes data for the German electricity system in 2030 and a corresponding documentation of the methodology of data acquisition and preprocessing. The data set includes 1.) topological data on the transmission grid, the generation infrastructure and the demand, 2.) a time series of electricity demand in 2030 in an hourly resolution, 3.) a time series of renewable generation in 2030 in an hourly resolution, and 4.) dispatchable generation capacity and costs in 2030. All data is spatially resolved, at the level of 485 nodes.
