Description
MERRA reanalysis data (1980-2015) have been used to estimate the hourly aggregated wind and solar power generation for Great Britain based on a distribution of wind and solar farms which is considered to be representative of the current situation (June 2017). In addition a corresponding hourly time series of nationally aggregated (for Great Britain) electricity demand has been determined. The data have been produced to understand the long term variability of the renewable generation and the possible implications for UK power system.
