RectifHyd

RectifHyd provides estimated monthly hydroelectric power generation for approximately 1,500 power plants in conterminous United States for the period 2001 through 2022. Monthly generation estimates are created by disaggregating each plant's annual generation with the aid of reservoir operations and downstream streamflow data. RectifHyd provides an alternative to EIA-923 imputed monthly generation for U.S. hydropower plants. Version 1.2 adds estimates for 2021 and 2022. Since the reservoir release dataset used to inform RectifHyd disaggregation is not updated beyond 2020, years 2021 and 2022 are disaggregated solely using downstream flow data, where available. Refer to Turner et al. (2022) for full method details (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01748-x). Version 1.2.1 places header material into a separate readme to improve file readability.RectifHyd数据集为美国本土（conterminous United States）约1500座水电站提供2001年至2022年的月度水电发电量估算值。该数据集的月度发电量估算值通过借助水库运行数据与下游河道径流数据，对各电站的年度发电量进行拆分计算得到。RectifHyd可为美国水电站的EIA-923插补月度发电量数据提供替代方案。 1.2版本新增了2021年与2022年的发电量估算值。由于用于支撑RectifHyd拆分计算的水库泄流数据集仅更新至2020年，因此2021年和2022年的估算值仅在有可用下游径流数据的情况下，通过下游径流数据单独拆分得到。完整方法细节可参考Turner等人（2022）的研究（https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01748-x）。 1.2.1版本将文件头信息单独提取至README文档中，以提升文件可读性。
