Abstract

Energy system models involve various input data sets representing the generation, consumption and transport infrastructure of electricity. Especially energy system models with a focus on the transmission grid require time series of electricity feed-in and consumption in a high spatial resolution. In general, there are two approaches to obtain regionalized time series: top-down and bottom-up. In many cases, both methodologies may be combined to aggregate or disaggregate input data. Furthermore, there exist various approaches to assign regionalized feed-in of renewable energy sources and electrical load to the model’s grid connection points. The variety in the regionalization process leads to significant differences on a regional scope, even if global values are the same.
