This directory provides updatable supplementary data to the journal paper Fleschutz et al. (2021).
The data was calculated using the tool DrafProject/elmada, see make_MEF_data.ipynb.
The time series were calculated in hourly resolution (data/60min), and were additionally converted to quarter-hourly resolution (data/15min).
| Column name | Data type | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| T | Integer | Hour/Quarterhour | Hour/Quarterhour of the year starting with 0. |
| residual_load | Float | MW_el | Average residual national load. |
| total_load | Float | MW_el | Average total national load. |
| marginal_fuel | String | - | Fuel type of marginal power plant. One of lignite, coal, gas, gas_cc, and oil. |
| efficiency | Float | - | Efficiency of marginal power plant between 0 and 1. |
| marginal_cost | Float | € / MWh_el | Marginal cost of electricity generation. |
| MEFs | Float | kg_CO2eq/MWh_el | Marginal emission factors. I.e. the carbon emission intensity of electricity generation of the marginal power plant. |
| XEFs | Float | kg_CO2eq/MWh_el | Average electricity grid mix emission factors. |
The data is in local time since the Draf Project focuses on the modeling of individual energy hubs. Standard time is used i.e. daylight saving time is ignored.
