Translating climate data into power plants operational guidance
Abstract
CLIM2POWER will create a bridge between complex scientific model-based knowledge and targeted usable information for end-users by developing a web-based Climate Service (CS) addressing, at a seasonal timescale, how climate may impact hydro, wind and solar power operation, electricity demand and the whole power system. The web-service will connect climate data, hydrological models, renewable energy resources (RES) power simulation tools and energy system and electricity models in an interactive user-friendly layout to produce added value data for the next 6 months pathway on hydro and wind resources shortages, power demand changes and the whole power system shifts to adapt to resources shortages or surplus, to refer just few examples. These data are valuable to support decision-making of both private (e.g. companies in the power market) and public end-users (e.g. power market regulators, and water & environment authorities), as well as market water-energy services providers (e.g. XXX). The CS will be co-developed with end-users and tested in 5 representative case-studies: 1) Portugal: Douro river basin, wind and solar power resources and whole power system; 2) Sweden: Luleå river basin, wind and solar power resources and whole power system, 3) Germany-Austria: the Danube river basin, wind and solar power resources and the German-Austrian market zone; 4) France: wind and solar power resources and the whole power system, and 5) EU: the interconnected European electric system to account for impact on electricity trade across countries. These reflect the varied EU contexts regarding climate, hydrology, socio-economic settings, electricity generation portfolio and energy markets.
