This dataset supports hourly operational simulations of the Shandong power system for a 2030 summer scenario, using the province’s 16 prefecture-level cities as network nodes. It is designed to evaluate the impacts of different low-carbon generation pathways—including alternative deployment levels of coal-fired power, wind, solar PV, and energy storage—as well as the system’s resilience under two stress scenarios: HVDC transmission outages and extreme weather events.
The dataset includes the following model inputs:
- Power plant operating costs and technical characteristics, including startup and shutdown costs for coal-fired generating units.
- Fossil fuel prices.
- Renewable generation profiles (wind and solar PV).
- The intra-provincial transmission network connecting the 16 prefecture-level cities.
- Interprovincial electricity transfers.
- Hourly electricity demand profiles for each prefecture-level city.
- Installed capacities of coal-fired power, wind, solar PV, and energy storage under both the baseline and low-carbon development pathways.
Simulation outputs include:
- Power system dispatch results.
- Renewable energy curtailment.
- Interprovincial electricity flows.
- Utilization of interprovincial transmission corridors.
- Unserved energy (NSE).
- Other operational performance indicators.
