Energy Indicators

The Energy Indicators application provides climate-derived metrics for the wind and solar energy sectors. It translates kilometre-scale climate simulations into indicators that support near- to mid-term climate change adaptation decisions, including diagnostics on renewable resource availability, variability, extremes, and energy demand.

The application currently covers wind indicators, solar photovoltaic potential, wind production indicators, and temperature-based demand indicators.

How this section is organised

The Energy Indicators documentation is organised as follows:

  • Data Description describes the available variables, units, conventions, spatial and temporal characteristics, and file formats.

  • Data Quality and Evaluation summarises validation results, known gaps, caveats, and model-specific evaluation pages.

  • Examples lists typical applications and points to example notebooks.

  • Technical Documentation provides the technical workflow that was used, processing steps, and HPC integration details.

  • Related Resources collects related repositories, documentation, publications, references, and contact information.
