repra.data: Generator and time series data sets

Description Details References

Description

repra includes sample data to showcase typical calculations. This data is contained in four data frames called repratime, repragen, repraareas, repra capacity. The data was adapted from the Western Electricity Coordinating Council's (WECC) Transmission Expansion Planning Policy Committee (TEPPC) 2024 Common Case (version 1.0). The data should be considered only for illustrative purposes and no conclusions should be made based on it.

Details

The data is presented for 8 regions in the Western Interconnection: Alberta, AZ-NM-NV (Arizona-New Mexico-Nevada), Basin, British Columbia, California North and South, NWPP (Northwest Power Pool), and RMPA (Rocky Mountain Power Authority). It is presented through four data frames, which are described in the following paragraphs.

repratime includes the load, wind, PV and CSP time series for the eight regions.

repragen includes the name, nameplate capacity, expected forced outage rate (EFOR) and area for all the generators (that are not wind, PV or CSP).

repraareas includes a little example of how the eight areas can be aggregated up to the interconnection level.

Finally, repracapacities summarize the installed capacities for wind, PV and CSP (which are useful to normalize capacity value, for example).
