“…For instance, ADEME (2016) used only 7 years of historical data, which is too short to capture year-to-year climate variability. Silva et al (2018) used 31 years of wind and solar generation reconstructed past data from the ERA-Interim reanalysis (Berrisford et al, 2009); despite the reasonable temporal coverage, this reanalysis offers limited spatial and temporal resolutions (Boilley & Wald, 2015) (circa 79 km and 3-h, respectively) and requires bias adjustment (Jones et al, 2017). In addition, it is common for such studies to require energy modellers to be versatile, collecting, processing and modelling different data sources, weather and energy variables, and energy conversion models.…”

“…The transition towards a more environmentally friendly electricity supply system has been the subject of numerous integration studies, which evaluate the feasibility of a European power system with large shares of renewable generation (ADEME, 2016, 2022; Bloomfield et al, 2021; Bruninx et al, 2015; RTE, 2022; Silva et al, 2018; Silva & Burtin, 2015). Similar studies have been carried out for other regions of the world (Craig et al, 2018; Denholm et al, 2022; DOE, 2020; Elliston et al, 2013; Huva et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2018).…”

The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has produced an operational climate service, called C3S Energy, designed to enable the energy industry and policymakers to assess the impacts of climate variability and climate change on the energy sector in Europe. The C3S Energy service covers different time horizons, for the past 40 years and the future. It provides time series of electricity demand and supply from wind, solar photovoltaic and hydropower, and can be used for recent trends analysis, seasonal outlooks or the assessment of climate change impacts on energy mixes in the long term. This article introduces this service and the resulting dataset, with a focus on the design and validation of the energy conversion models, based on ENTSO‐E energy data and the ERA5 climate reanalysis. Flexibility and coherence across all countries have been preferred upon models' accuracy. However, the comparison with ENTSO‐E data shows that the models provide plausible energy indicators and, in particular, allow comparing climate variability effects on power demand and generation in a harmonized manner all over Europe.

“…Another trend that can be found in many publications deals directly with issues related to OWF and their role in meeting the demand for power and electricity. Silva [27] points to the necessity to expand the network infrastructure, RES installations as close as possible to the places of demand and the necessity to supplement (stabilize production) RES by conventional power plants. This also affects the economy of energy production and the need for a flexible approach to controlling the operation of sources.…”

Energy transition forcing a change in the structure of the electricity generation system is a particularly difficult task in countries such as Poland, where the dominant source of energy is fossil fuels. Due to the nature of renewable sources (stochastic and seasonally variable), it is necessary to study their impact on the power system. Much research was conducted on this subject. They consider modelling power systems in terms of dealing with an increasing amount of renewable energy sources, stabilization of electricity generation or environmental aspects. This article examines one of the key sources of future power systems—offshore wind turbines (OWT). The influence of offshore wind sources on the power system in the fields of stability of generation, methods of regulatory strategies, and economics were examined. One of the aspects that are less considered is the correlation of energy production in OWT with energy demand and with generation in other renewable energy sources, especially in the region of the southern Baltic Sea and the distribution of energy demand in countries such as Poland. The key aspect of the research is to fill this gap. The obtained results indicate that the average monthly power generation in OWT is strongly positively correlated with the demand, and the hourly average is positively correlated moderately. Correlation between generation in OWT and photovoltaic sources is very high negative, and between onshore and offshore wind turbines is highly positive. The study indicates that the OWT has a significant potential for the development and replacement of conventional sources, due to the very high capacity and a positive correlation with demand. Moreover, future offshore wind farms can cooperate with photovoltaic sources as these sources complement each other. On the other hand, a significant saturation of the system with offshore and onshore wind sources may pose a threat to the power system due to their positive correlation.

“…The increasing share of renewable generation, mainly from wind and solar energy together with hydro power, will increase the exposure of the energy sector to climate variability and change [1,4]. In the past few years, several studies have looked at the feasibility of a European power system with large shares of renewable generation [5][6][7][8][9]. Similar studies have been carried out for other locations [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…[7] for instance used only seven years of climate data, which is too short to capture year-to-year climate variability. Silva et al [5] used 31 years of wind and solar generation, reconstructed on the recent past from reanalysis data (from ERA-Interim), which to our knowledge is the most comprehensive approach at the time of this study. Climate change impacts on hydro, wind and solar power generation have been studied by several authors [16][17][18][19] but currently, these studies do not provide open and easily accessible datasets which can be used by energy practitioners and decision makers to run energy mixes studies, via energy system modelling.…”

The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has produced an operational climate service, called C3S Energy, designed to enable the energy industry and policy makers to assess the impacts of climate variability and climate change on the energy sector in Europe. The C3S Energy service covers different time horizons, for the past forty years and the future. It provides time series of electricity demand and supply from wind, solar photovoltaic and hydro power, and can be used for recent trends analysis, seasonal outlooks or the assessment of climate change impacts on energy mixes in the long-term.This paper introduces this dataset, with a focus on the design and validation of the energy conversion models, based on ENTSO-E energy data and the ERA5 climate reanalysis. Flexibility and coherence across all countries have been privileged upon models’ accuracy. However, the comparison with ENTSO-E data shows that the models provide plausible energy indicators and, in particular, allow to compare climate variability effects on power demand and generation in an homogenous approach all over Europe.
