Can on-site solar and wind generation data be used for forecasting?

Solar and wind generation data from on-site sources are beneficial for the development of data-driven forecasting models. In this paper, an open dataset consisting of data collected from on-site renewable energy stations, including six wind farms and eight solar stations in China, is provided.

How long has data been collected for power generation and weather-related data?

Over two years (2019–2020), power generation and weather-related data were collected at 15-minute intervals. The dataset was used in the Renewable Energy Generation Forecasting Competition hosted by the Chinese State Grid in 2021. The process of data collection, data processing, and potential applications are described.

Where is wind power generation data stored?

Wind power generation data are in the wind_farms folder, which includes six Microsoft Excel files. The real-time power generation and weather conditions are recorded in these files. The basic information about each wind farm is listed in Table 1.
