DATAPACKAGE: ESTIMATES OF PV HOSTING CAPACITY AND BATTERY INSTALLTIONS FOR SWITZERLAND ACCOUNTING FOR GRID CONSTRAINTS.
===========================================================================

Package Version: 2020-03-02

In this work, we estimate photovoltaic (PV) hosting potentials for
Switzerland while accounting for the voltage and ampacity constraints of
the medium voltage networks. 

We develop a method which estimated the the medium voltage networks of
whole Switzerland in the first step and then we ran optimal power flow to
size the PV installations through Switzerland. We account for the
geographical variability of the PV productions, given by the capacity
factors, in our analysis. Moreover, we also size and site the battery
installations required to overcome the grid constraints so as to exceed the
PV hosting potentials. 

We follow the Data Package standard by the Frictionless Data project, a
part of the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://frictionlessdata.io/
