In CfSOtago/gridCarbon: Code to analyse the carbon footprint of NZ electricity generation over time

Electricity Authority data

Downloaded from https://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Wholesale/Datasets for various purposes.

Wholesale Generation Data

• Downloads all or a subset of files from https://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Wholesale/Datasets/Generation/Generation_MD/
• NB: checks to see if we already have them and skips if so (can be over-ridden)
• Converts from wide to long form
• Sets Time Period (half hour) properly
• Saves original wide and converted long form data files to /hum-csafe/Research Projects/GREEN Grid/externalData/EA_Generation_Data/
• Does not create a fancy report but does save some data quality check plots in the same directory

Embedded Generation Data

• Basically as for Wholesale Generation data but gets data from https://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Wholesale/Datasets/Metered_data/Embedded_generation/ to try to add solar gen to the wholesale gen to get the whole picture (tm)

#YMMV.
