Pre-built Sector-coupled Euro-Calliope Model: Subnational Energy System Data

2010 to 2018 input data underpins a pre-packaged, subnational-scale energy system model for Europe built using the Sector-Coupled Euro-Calliope workflow. The model, created by Bryn Pickering at ETH Zurich, includes sectors such as industry, transport, and heat, and is ready to be loaded into the Calliope framework. It supports various temporal resolutions and technology configurations for scenario analysis.

Use Cases

• Modeling synthetic fuel generation for non-electrical industry demands based on the 'industry_fuel_shared' scenario.
• Analyzing smart-charging constraints for electric vehicles based on the 'transport' scenario features.
• Simulating space heating, hot water, and cooking demand provision using technologies defined in the 'heat' scenario.
• Assessing the role of underground methane storage in energy systems based on the 'gas_storage' component.
• Evaluating biofuel supply streams and their integration into the energy mix based on the 'add-biofuel' feature.

Strengths

• Model is pre-packaged and ready for use with the Calliope framework, reducing setup time.
• Covers multiple integrated sectors (industry, transport, heat) for comprehensive energy system analysis.
• Based on input data spanning 8 years from 2010 to 2018.
• Offers configurable temporal resolutions (e.g., 2h, 3h, 6h, 12h) to balance detail and computational cost.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
