Sources of electricity generated in Québec

Description
All of Hydro‑Québec’s data on the breakdown of the sources of electricity generated in Québec according to their real or estimated power in megawatts (MW). The data is updated hourly and corresponds to the output of both Hydro‑Québec’s generating stations and those of other electricity suppliers that have an electricity supply contract with Hydro‑Québec.

Visit the Québec hydropower: clean, renewable and low in GHG emissions page for an example of how this dataset is used.
For historical data, consult the History of sources of electricity generated in Québec page.
Québec electricity demand dashboard from the Chair in Energy Sector Management at HEC Montréal.

Useful information for interpreting the data
Electricity generation data is sent hourly, on the half hour, that is, at 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m., etc. However, there is always a certain delay:

Data related to thermal sources is sent 360 minutes later.
Data related to hydropower, wind and solar power, other renewables and all sources is sent 90 minutes later.

Energy sources
Hydroelectricity: Sum of the remotely measured output from all of Hydro‑Québec’s generating stations and the generating stations of other electricity suppliers that have a supply contract with Hydro‑Québec.
Wind power: Sum of the remotely measured output from facilities belonging to independent power producers from whom Hydro‑Québec purchases all output.
Solar power: Sum of the remotely measured output from Hydro‑Québec’s solar farms.
Other renewables: Sum of the estimated output from facilities belonging to independent power producers using different sources (biomass, biogas or hydropower), from whom Hydro‑Québec can purchase some or all of the output.
Thermal power: The remotely measured output from Bécancour thermal generating station.

Description of labels
The files can contain text data (e.g., Montréal), numerical data (e.g., 2021‑05‑21) or geometric data (e.g., 46°48'44"). They are organized based on specific labels, which correspond to categories. The labels and their descriptions are provided below.

date (numerical): date and time the measurement was taken
total (numerical): total output in megawatts (MW)
hydraulique (numerical): hydroelectric output in megawatts (MW)
eolien (numerical): wind output in megawatts (MW)
autres (numerical): output in megawatts (MW) from facilities belonging to independent power producers using different renewable sources
solaire (numerical): solar output in megawatts (MW)
thermique (numerical) : thermal output in megawatts (MW)

### 数据集说明
本数据集收录魁北克水电公司（Hydro‑Québec）发布的魁北克省电力生产来源分类数据，所有数据以兆瓦（MW）为单位标注实际或估算发电出力。该数据每小时更新一次，覆盖魁北克水电公司自身发电站，以及与该公司签订供电合同的其他电力供应商的发电出力。

请访问《魁北克水电：清洁可再生且温室气体（Greenhouse Gas，GHG）排放极低》页面，查看该数据集的应用示例。如需获取历史数据，请查阅《魁北克省电力生产来源沿革》页面。此外可通过蒙特利尔高等商学院（HEC Montréal）能源管理教席发布的魁北克电力需求仪表板获取相关信息。

### 数据解读实用须知
电力生产数据每半小时推送一次，即每日8:30、9:30等时点更新。但数据存在固定延迟：
- 热力发电相关数据延迟360分钟发布；
- 水电、风电、光伏、其他可再生能源及总出力相关数据延迟90分钟发布。

### 能源分类说明
1. 水电：魁北克水电公司自身发电站及与其签订供电合同的其他电力供应商发电站的远程实测出力总和。
2. 风电：魁北克水电公司全额收购出力的独立发电商所属风电场的远程实测出力总和。
3. 光伏：魁北克水电公司自有光伏电站的远程实测出力总和。
4. 其他可再生能源：采用生物质、生物沼气或水电等不同能源的独立发电商所属电站的估算出力总和，魁北克水电公司可收购其部分或全部出力。
5. 热力发电：贝坎库尔（Bécancour）热力发电站的远程实测出力。

### 字段标签说明
数据集文件可包含文本数据（例如蒙特利尔）、数值数据（例如2021‑05‑21）或几何数据（例如46°48′44″），并按对应类别的专属标签进行组织。各标签及其含义如下：
- `date`（数值型）：数据采集的日期与时间
- `total`（数值型）：总出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
- `hydraulique`（数值型）：水电出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
- `eolien`（数值型）：风电出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
- `autres`（数值型）：采用其他可再生能源的独立发电商所属电站的出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
- `solaire`（数值型）：光伏出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
- `thermique`（数值型）：热力发电出力，单位为兆瓦（MW）
