Electricity generation and demand time series often are only available on a national scale. In this contribution, we derive regionalization factors to allocate publicly available national generation and demand time series for Germany to the federalstate level. We compare two different types of regionalization approaches: Static factors are based on the regional distribution of capacities or population and GPD, whereas dynamic factors take plant-specific generation time series, regionally resolved weather patterns or compositions of different load profiles into account. We observe that dynamic regionalization factors show significant temporal variability, emphasizing the limitations of static regionalization factors for a spatio-temporally more detailed representation of power system time series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
