Dear Luc,

We are also working in a similar field at IST, Portugal, and have just published a paper on the energy reduction potential from the shift to electric vehicles (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421513007799), with high temporal resolution modeling.

Portugal and Spain have the electricity production by energy source available, although with different degrees of easiness of download. For Portugal, data is available at a 15 minutes resolution from 2007 up to these days. For Spain, the time frame is the same, but the temporal resolution is of 10 minutes.

We have collected for Portugal the data at 15 minutes temporal resolution for the years 2008 and 2011, and at an hourly level for 2007-2010.

We are available to share this data and discuss any detail of this work or any possibility of a future collaboration.

Best,

André

Thank you André for your prompt reply. Are the data available on-line from the grid operator? For Belgium they are downloadable in Excell format.

According to which fuels or technology types have the power plants been grouped?

Dear Luc,

For Romania, all the data you need are available here:

http://transelectrica.ro/widget/web/tel/sen-grafic/-/SENGrafic_WAR_SENGraficportlet

You can find information on electricity generation by fuel type with a resolution of 10 minutes. Under the graph you have two possibilities: "Genereaza Tabel" to obtain on screen a table with information, and "Genereaza Excel" to obtain and download an Excel file with the information needed.

Good luck !

Virgil

Thank you Virgil. A very useful link indeed. This seems to be exactly the type of data we are looking for. I will keep you updated on the results for Romania.

@Ili Grig. I would also like to find data for Cyprus which is different from other EU countries in several ways.

Here is a working link to the French data. Courtesy of Diane Schinkieviez @rte

First of all, we apologize for this unusual response time.

You can consult our page éCO2mix on our website (power generation by energy source) : http://www.rte-france.com/en/sustainable-development/eco2mix/national-data/power-generation-by-energy-source and download the historical at the following link : http://www.rte-france.com/en/sustainable-development/eco2mix/downloading-data. It is the only data that we could give you.

We hope it will help you for your project.

Best regards Diane Schinkieviez

Regarding Portugal, you can find that information on this website:

http://www.centrodeinformacao.ren.pt/PT/InformacaoExploracao/Paginas/EstatisticaDiariaDiagrama.aspx

There you can download the daily data in excel format with the following information on production: Coal, Fuel Oil, Natural Gas, Hydro Reservoirs, Hydro Run-of-river, Imports, Exports, SSG Hydro, SSG Thermal, SSG Wind, SSG Photovoltaic, SSG Wave. There is also information on consumption: Hydro Pumping and Demand. So far I have not found a way to download more than one day at a time.

Regarding Spain, the information I know about is here: https://demanda.ree.es/generacion_acumulada.html

They have information on: import/export balance, hydro, nuclear, fuel/gas, coal, combined cycle, wind, solar, other special regime technologies. However, I haven't found a way to download the data into excel or any other format.

Thank you André for your valuable contributions.

To be complete, here is a link to the data from Belgium.

Data is provided for each 15 minute interval for the selected month. Totals per fuel appear in different tabs.

André. Can you please contact my colleague Johan Bierkens at vito.be to discuss the data for Portugal and Spain? Obviously we will give full credit if you could provide the data.

A brief summary of the results we obtained with the data that was provided earlier.

- External costs within each country are not constant, but depend on the specific power plants that are active at a given time. This fluctuates on a daily basis depending on total power needs and scheduled outages for maintenance of production facilities.

- In France and Belgium a large stable part of the electricity (>50%) is produced by nuclear power. The difference between the P5 and P95 for the calendar year 2012 is low ≤ 0.2 Eurocent/kWh. The maximum difference within 1h is even lower: 0.1 Eurocent/kWh.

- In the UK a stable part of the electricity is produced by nuclear (23±6%), coal (44±6%) and gas plants (26±7%). The difference between the P5 and P95 for external costs related to electricity production is less than < 0.2 Eurocent/kWh.

-Denmark and Portugal are countries without nuclear power, a large part of the electricity is produced by wind. The difference between the P5 and P95 of external costs for electricity generation is 0.3 Portugal and to 0.4 Eurocent/kWh for Denmark.

- Romania hasa large differentiation in energy sources and the energy produced by hydro centrals is variable (20±10%). Depending on the energy mix, the P5 is 1.8 Eurocent/kWh while the P95 is 2.9 Eurocent/kWh. The largest within one hour difference was the highest of all countries studied (0.7 Eurocent/kWh).

Based on these results it seems that charging of EV can best be done based on other (not environmental) criteria except perhaps in Romania.

The paper was published and available from RG. I thank everyone for their contributions.

I have found many useful resources in this post. In case someone needs to download data from Spain (Canary and Balearic Islands separately) here is a link to open data: http://www.esios.ree.es/web-publica/.

On the other side, I am interested also in open available generation data of ISOLATED SYSTEMS, like for example Flores island, Azores, which is studied in the article from André Pina.

Hello All,

Was looking to get Demand 48 data from http://www.esios.ree.es/web-publica/.

Demand and Energy programs > Composition of demand > P48

Daily Data for 2014 till date ,please let me know how to extract it or please provide me the data

Thank you very much

Mahendra

Anybody point me to France?

 The link for France is in the paper by Buekers et al.

Despite all the useful links provided in the previous posts, I still have problems to find and download power generation data (hourly data for each type of fuel) for Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Norway. Anyone who know where I can find/request them?

Many thanks

Data for the UK national grid at 5 minute resolution

I strongly recommend the web site maintained by Paul-Frederik Bach

http://www.pfbach.dk/

He has the data you are looking for in a common format for

Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Czek Republik, Finland and Sweden

I guess most of you will already have found the ENTSOE platform 

https://transparency.entsoe.eu/dashboard/show

or this great visualisation of the same data

https://www.electricitymap.org

Are useful also the information presented here by RTE for the commercial power flows and for the market data:
