Description
EMHIRES is the first publically available European solar power generation dataset derived from meteorological sources that is available up to NUTS-2 level. It was generated applying the PVGIS model to capture local geographical information to generate meteorologically derived solar power time series at high temporal and spatial resolution. This allows for a better understanding of the solar resource at the precise location of wind farms.

Data access
The dataset releases four different files about the solar power generation hourly time series during 30 years (1986-2015), accounting for the existing solar installed capacity at the end of 2015 for country, NUTS 1 and 2 and bidding zone

Abstract
EMHIRES is the first publicly available European solar power generation dataset derived from meteorological sources that is available at country, bidding zone, NUTS-1 and NUTS-2 level. It was generated applying using the validated and robust PVGIS model to estimate the solar electricity potential capturing local geographical information to generate meteorologically derived solar power time series at high temporal and spatial resolution, validated with transmission system operators' data.

Abstract
The ongoing growth of RES-E requires power system modellers to adapt both methodologies and datasets, in particular time series for electricity generation from wind and PV. Meteorological models are increasingly used for this purpose. This report provides on overview on the methodologies available and the approaches pursued by recent RES-E integration studies. Based on this review, recommendations for best practice are identified.
