Data preface

The SEDOS Reference Dataset (SRD) entails technology data across five sectors (power, heat, PtX, industry, mobility) and various aggregation levels.

This data preface provides additional information about the syntax of parameters and units in SRD.

Nomenclature

SEDOS sectors

Sector abbreviation Sector SEDOS workpackage
pow Power AP4
hea Heat AP6
x2x Power to X AP5
ind Industry AP7
tra Transport AP8
Existing and investment processes

Processes that were existing before the base year 2021 can be identified on their name. They end with _0
Example: pow_combustion_gt_hydrogen_0

Processes that were not existing before the base year 2021 and that the model can invest in can be identified on their name. They end with _1
Example: pow_combustion_cc_chp_ccs_biomass_1

Data

Monetary value

If not further specified the base year for the monatary value is 2021.

If monatary conversion were performed, the following logic was applied:
currency_A(year_x) -> currency_B(year_x) -> currency_B(year_z)

e.g. USD2010 -> EUR2010 -> EUR2021

Leap years

Leap years are considered in timeseries data by setting the timeindex_stop for 2024, 2040, 2060 to the 30.12.
The timesseries has only 8760 instead of 8784 timesteps (-> the 31.12 is missing).

Linking data with foreign keys

The note below Structure of energy demands exemplifies how data in the SRD is linked via foreign keys.
The tra_demand table uses a foreign key mapping to the tablestra_scalars and tra_timeseries.

The mapping structure is:
<table_name>_<column_name>

Structure of energy demands

Demands per sector are provided via three tables:
1. <sector>_scalars
2. <sector>_timeseries
3. <sector>_demand

This is explained below using the example of the transport sector.

The table collects all sector process-unspecific scalars.
Also the annual demands. Demand columns are named as the commodity (unit must be declared via metadata)

The table collects all sector timeseries - also the demand timeseries.
Note that leap years are considered in time series data by setting the timeindex_stop for 2024, 2040, 2060 to the 30.12.

In column "demand_annual" the scalar demand is mapped via foreign-key & also the units via the metadata from the tra_scalars table. The normalised timeseries are mapped in the "demand_timeseries_fixed" column via Foreign-key.

Parameter values that do not exist for a given year, process and parameter combination have no relevance for a process.

Example:

Exception: Unrestricted bound parameters

Upper and lower bound paramters have empty cells if unrestricted.
This convention was made to avoid high or low dummy values for upper or lower bounds.

In the example above, new capacity invesments (capacity_p_abs_new_max) for the processes are not restricted:

To avoid ambiguities in the data, the processes are specified as precisely as possible.
This means, for example, for investment processes for all support years are given, even if an investment process is available from later years, e.g 2035, as opposed to missing rows for 2021, 2024, 2027 and 2030.
