| + | <br/> |
| | | | |
| − | Various projects exist that transform weather data into power availability time series for different solar/wind power plant model types, such as the [http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3353 Aarhus University RE Atlas] or the [https://github.com/oemof/feedinlib oemof feedinlib] or [http://renewables.ninja/ renewables.ninja].

| | | | |
| − | == Wind profiles ==
| + | The [https://okfn.org/ Open Knowledge Foundation] promotes the use of its '''[http://data.okfn.org/ data package]''' standard. It consists of using CSV for payload (data) and a file package.json to attach machine-readable metadata. The page links to many examples of existing, curated and maintained datasets that adhere to this standard. Additionally, they drive the creation of a software ecosystem that can create and digest this format. Due to its simplicity, using data packages does not depend on this ecosystem. |

| − | OPSD summaries [http://open-power-system-data.org/data-sources#Wind_and_solar_power_time_series European historical wind generation time series]
| + | '''GitHub repositories''' are another pragmatic way of sharing "small" (up to about 10 MB) datasets. A fun example is the [http://bundestag.github.io/gesetze/ Bundesgit], a collection of all German federal laws under version control. New laws or modifications are tracked as commits, allowing to "see" how a dataset -- laws, in that case -- evolve over time. The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for a collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data. |
| | | | |
| − | == Solar profiles ==
| + | An upcoming and (technically) promising project is '''[https://dat.foundation/ dat]''', which "is a version-controlled, decentralized data tool for collaboration between data people and data systems." Or, simply: Git for data. It is currently in public beta test but has come a long way already. |

This is work in progress and is supposed to become a link list to sources of open energy-related data. We focus on collecting links to data relevant for the modelling of energy and electricity systems and markets. You are welcome to fill in the missing spots and non-existing pages. Also, you are welcome to extend the list of relevant data (e.g. for a European energy system model) that we should collect links to in the future:
