Dataset for Dispa-SET UCED hydropower formulations.

This dataset contains the input files for three different hydropower formulations within Dispa-SET mid-term hydrothermal scheduling model. This dataset comprises the data used in the manuscript currently under peer review, titled "Assessing the Operational Impact of Hydropower Over-simplification in National Energy System Models". The data supports the comparative analysis between the Hydro Cascade Formulation (HCF), the Simplified Hydro Formulation (SHF), and the One Hydro Formulation (OHF), applied to the Bolivian National Interconnected System (SIN). The repository includes time-series data for water inflows, reservoir parameters, hydraulic topology configurations, and power plant characteristics for the years 2020. Content and Structure The dataset is organized into the following components: Dispa-SET_Hydropower_formulations:.├───HCF (Hydro Cascade Formulation)│ ├───boundary_sector (Inflows, Hydraulic topology, alert levels, spillage cost and storage level)│ ├───Demand, Fuel_prices, NTC, Outages│ └───PowerPlantData, RenewablesAF├───OHF (One Hydro Formulation)│ ├───Demand, Fuel_prices, NTC, Outages│ ├───PowerPlant, RenewablesAF, ScaledInflows│ └───SpillageCost, StorageLevels└───SHF (Simplified Hydro Formulation) ├───Demand, Fuel_prices, NTC, Outages ├───PowerPlant, RenewablesAF, ScaledInflows └───SpillageCost, StorageLevels A specific configuration file is provided for each formulation. These files contain the general inputs for the simulations and the necessary links to the relevant data files within the database. Usage Notes This database is intended for energy modelers and researchers interested in hydropower representation in large-scale power systems, specifically regarding the effects of simplified hydropower representations. The data was processed using official forecasts from the Bolivian system operator and historical observations.
