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

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.
