ERA5 derived time series of European country-aggregate electricity demand, wind power generation and solar power generation

Description

The ERA5 reanalysis data (1979-2018) has been used to calculate the three-hourly country aggregated wind and solar power generation for 28 European countries based on a distribution of wind and solar farms which is considered to be representative of the current situation (2017). In addition a corresponding daily time series of nationally aggregated electricity demand is provided. The datasets have been produced to investigate the inter-annual variability of the three weather-dependent power system components.

** This is an update on the previous version of the data where there were issues with the timestamps in the 3-hourly wind and solar power data. **
