Data underlying the paper: Plant siting and economic potential of ocean thermal energy conversion in Indonesia - A novel GIS-based methodology

This dataset lists all sites that are practically suitable for OTEC deployment in Indonesia based on seawater temperature difference, water depths and marine protected areas.<br>The columns of the dataset are as follows:<br><br>Prov_Start, Long_Start, and Lat_Start described the province, longitude and latitude of the site for OTEC deployment in the ocean. <br><br>Prov_End, Long_End, and Lat_End describe the province, longitude, and latitude of the connection point on land to which the power lines of the OTEC plant are assumed to be connected. <br><br>Distance describes the linear distance between OTEC plant and onshore connection point.<br> Temperature describes the seawater temperature difference between warm surface water (depth 0 m) and cold deep-sea water (depth 1,000 m) and reflect the average temperature difference from 21 August 2013 00:00 until 27 November 2018. The resolution of the data is 24 hours.<br><br>Depth describes the water depth with a negative sign, meaning that -1 means a water depth of 1m. <br><br>BPP represents the Basic Cost of Electricity Production in Indonesia, a metric that is used to calculate the feed-in tariff for the produced OTEC power. IMPORTANT, the feed-in tariff is not equal to BPP, but instead 85% of the BPP.<br>LCOE_HC and LCOE_LC describe the calculated Levelised Cost of Electricity based on High-Cost (HC) and Low-Cost (LC) assumptions for the OTEC plant.<br>Eco_Pot_HC and Eco_Pot_LC describe the economic potential of the OTEC plant at the given location. If the LCOE is equal or lower than 85% of the BPP, its economic potential equals the nominal size of the plant, in this study 100 MW. If the LCOE is higher than 85% of BPP, the economic potential is 0.<br>

本数据集基于海水温差、水深及海洋保护区条件，梳理了印度尼西亚境内所有实际适宜开展海洋热能转换（Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, OTEC）部署的场址。<br>本数据集的字段如下：<br><br>Prov_Start、Long_Start与Lat_Start分别对应海洋内OTEC部署场址的所属省份、经度与纬度。<br><br>Prov_End、Long_End与Lat_End分别对应OTEC电站输电线路预设接入的陆上连接点的所属省份、经度与纬度。<br><br>Distance字段表示OTEC电站与陆上连接点之间的直线距离。<br><br>Temperature字段表示表层温水（水深0米）与深层冷水（水深1000米）之间的海水温差，其数据为2013年8月21日00:00至2018年11月27日期间的平均温差，数据时间分辨率为24小时。<br><br>Depth字段以负值表示水深，即数值-1代表水深1米。<br><br>BPP代表印度尼西亚国内的基本发电成本（Basic Cost of Electricity Production, BPP），该指标用于计算OTEC发电的上网电价。【重要说明】：上网电价并非等同于BPP，实际为BPP的85%。<br><br>LCOE_HC与LCOE_LC分别表示基于OTEC电站的高成本（High-Cost, HC）与低成本（Low-Cost, LC）假设计算得到的平准化度电成本（Levelised Cost of Electricity, LCOE）。<br><br>Eco_Pot_HC与Eco_Pot_LC分别表示对应场址下OTEC电站的经济潜力。当平准化度电成本小于或等于BPP的85%时，该电站的经济潜力等于本研究中设定的电站额定规模（100兆瓦）；若平准化度电成本高于BPP的85%，则其经济潜力为0。
