This resource presents an open per-building dataset of rooftop solar photovoltaics potential for the European Union. The results show that potential capacity could cover approximately 40% of electricity demand in a 100% renewable scenario for 2050.
In battery research, the demand for public datasets to ensure transparent analyses of battery health is growing. Jan Figgener et al. meet this need with an 8-year study of 21 lithium-ion systems in Germany, generating a dataset of 14 billion data points that offers valuable insights into battery longevity for home storage.
Global climate models are challenging to integrate in energy system models because their output data resolution is too coarse. Buster et al. generate high-resolution meteorological data with climate change impacts from global climate model datasets using generative machine learning.
Making large datasets findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable could accelerate technology development. Now, Jacobsson et al. present an approach to build an open-access database and analysis tool for perovskite solar cells.
