Hill of Towie wind farm dataset

RES (Renewable Energy Systems Ltd) and TRIG (The Renewables Infrastructure Group) · published via Zenodo · CC BY 4.0

Used to produce the operating-state classification heatmap, the measured vs OEM power curve plot, and the data quality and reconciliation plot shown on the Performance Reviews page; the operating-state heatmap shown on the Additional Services page; the figures in the Diagnosing a faulty anemometer and wind-direction power-curve insights; and the nacelle transfer function and lidar comparison figures in the nacelle transfer function insight.

Penmanshiel wind farm dataset

Cubico Sustainable Investments · published via Zenodo · CC BY 4.0

Used to produce the production history and loss attribution waterfall plot shown on the Performance Reviews page.

La Haute Borne wind farm dataset

ENGIE Renewables open data · mirrored via NREL OpenOA · Etalab Open Licence 2.0

Used to produce the temperature-coloured power curve figures in the Wind turbines feel the heat insight.

ERA5 reanalysis data

Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) · accessed via the Open-Meteo archive API · CC BY 4.0

Used for the 50-year wind trend figures in the climate change insight, for the surface pressure input to the density correction in the Wind turbines feel the heat insight, and for the air temperature and wind inputs to the figures in the Solar panels like the sun but not the heat insight. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information; neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use of this information.

Satellite-derived solar radiation

EUMETSAT and CM SAF geostationary satellite products · accessed via the Open-Meteo satellite radiation API · CC BY 4.0

Used for the global horizontal and direct normal irradiance inputs to the figures in the Solar panels like the sun but not the heat insight. Retrieved at native temporal resolution, around ten minutes over Europe.

UK onshore wind capacity factor analysis

Elexon BMRS (B1610 and BMU registry), NESO wind BMU BOA volumes, and DESNZ REPD · Open Government Licence v3.0

Used to produce the capacity-factor and curtailment figures in the UK onshore wind insight. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
