[edit] Overview
Weather data can be used to generate profiles for wind, solar and hydro power plants. Re-analysis or “hindcast” projects use state-of the art weather forecast models with long time series of weather observations. They create consistent series of weather data, often of decades and with a global scope. Reanalysis.org and NCAR provide a helpful overview of re-analysis models. Data are usually provided in GRIB or NetCDF format and can be very large in size (100s of GB).
You may have a chance to get data directly from national weather services or participating universities/institutions and thus avoid having to run it yourself. For Germany, the current resolution is 2.8 km.
- The Climate Data Center (CDC) of the German Weather Service (DWD) has puslished a dataset of
- observed parameters from DWD stations,
- derived parameters at the station locations,
- gridded fields covering Germany,
- regional averages for Germany and its federal states,
- gridded fields covering Europe,
- global climate station data
- available at hourly, daily, monthly, annual or multi-annual resolution.
- The data is useable without restrictions provided the source "Deutscher Wetterdienst" is mentioned.
[edit] Projects to turn weather data into renewable power availability time series
Various projects exist that transform weather data into power availability time series for different solar/wind power plant model types:
