Dataset accompanying enhancing solar mini-grid utilisation in farming communities: crop strategies to reduce costs and improve energy access

Dataset of community and agricultural irrigation energy demands accompanying the modelling work undertaken to consider optimal mini-grid systems capable of meeting both community and agricultural loads.

Description of files:

Filenames for the datasets are of the format "Location{location_number}{Scenario}.csv" for location-specific scenarios or "Coordinatedoptimised.csv" for the load profile for coordinated-optimised loads.

Locations can be numbered 1, 2 or 3, depending on the location being considered.

Scenarios are either reference (no irrigation load), irrigation (for included irrgation loads) and bimodalcoordinated or coordinated for scenarios where the irrigation load is coordinated with the solar generation and seasons.
