This dataset contains several useful components for Swiss Electricity system modeling:
1. High-voltage Swiss grid: 2019 snapshot of the high-voltage (>150kV) grid composed of :
- Nodes: names, voltage, position.
- Lines: ends nodes, resistance, power capacity.
- Transformers: ends nodes, power capacity, resistance, tap ratio.
- Hydropower topology : Representative description of Swiss reservoirs and plants (2019) composed of:
- Plants: Lower reservoir, Upper reservoir, pump/turbine, debit, power capacity.
-
Reservoirs: Volume, altitude, position, canton.
-
Inflows into all the reservoirs: hourly time series post-processed from PREVAH model outputs from 2009 to 2019.
-
Wind production per node: COSMO-1 data processed and scaled to match SFOE annual production.
-
Solar irradiance maps projected onto tilted surfaces: hourly time series for 35° and 65° tilts, azimuth 180°. (same method as Frischholz, Y. (2025))
-
Processed ERA5 (historical), ECMWF SEAS5 (seasonal forecast) and ECMWF TIGGE (short-term forecast):
- ERA5 Land: For inflow forecast model: historical runoff, snow depth, temperature and total precipitation per catchment (hourly, 2009-2019). For residual demand forecast model: historical temperature, u-v wind, ssrd per country (CH, AT, DE, FR, IT, hourly 2015-2019)
- ECMWF SEAS5: For inflow forecast model: same variables as ERA5 (yearly forecast starting from every 1st day of every month in 2019). For residual demand forecast model: same variables as ERA5 (yearly forecast starting from every 1st day of every month in 2019).
- ECMWF TIGGE: For inflow forecast model: same variables as ERA5 (two weeks forecast starting from every 1st day of every week in 2019). For residual demand forecast model: same variables as ERA5 (two weeks forecast starting from every 1st day of every week in 2019).
