Abstract

An overview of the creation of the new version of PECD is presented. ERA5 reanalysis data are used to model historical weather patterns and three climate projections are used to analyse expected changes due to climate change. Global Wind Atlas wind speed data are used to bias correct both the historical period and the projections. For wind power, climate change is expected to have limited impact on average capacity factors on pan-European level. However, there is uncertainty between the climate models. Deploying modern turbines at higher hub heights can increase capacity factors compared to current installations more than expected climate change impact. Validation to measured data shows generally good results, and the historical period and the climate projections appear generally coherent. A good agreement between the historical period and the studied climate projection is found also for solar PV, and validation to measured data shows generally good fit.
