# Conventional Power Plants: Main notebook # #
This Notebook is part of the Conventional Power Plants Datapackage of Open Power System Data. #
# # 1. About Open Power System Data # This notebook is part of the project [Open Power System Data](http://open-power-system-data.org). Open Power System Data develops a platform for free and open data for electricity system modeling. We collect, check, process, document, and provide data that are publicly available but currently inconvenient to use. # More info on Open Power System Data: # - [Information on the project on our website](http://open-power-system-data.org) # - [Data and metadata on our data platform](http://data.open-power-system-data.org) # - [Data processing scripts on our GitHub page](https://github.com/Open-Power-System-Data) # # # 2. About Jupyter Notebooks and GitHub # This file is a [Jupyter Notebook](http://jupyter.org/). A Jupyter Notebook is a file that combines executable programming code with visualizations and comments in markdown format, allowing for an intuitive documentation of the code. We use Jupyter Notebooks for combined coding and documentation. We use Python 3 as programming language. All Notebooks are stored on [GitHub](https://github.com/), a platform for software development, and are publicly available. More information on our IT-concept can be found [here](http://open-power-system-data.org/it). See also our [step-by-step manual](http://open-power-system-data.org/step-by-step) how to use the dataplatform. # # # 3. About this Data Package # We provide data in different chunks, or [datapackages](http://frictionlessdata.io/data-packages/). The one you are looking at is on [conventional power plants](http://data.open-power-system-data.org/convetional_power_plants/), # # This notebook processes data on conventional power plants for Germany as well as other selected European countries. The data includes individual power plants with their technical characteristics. These include installed capacity, main energy source, type of technology, CHP capability, and geographical information. The geographical scope is primarily on Germany and its neighboring countries. It will be extended to other European countries if power plant information are publicly available. # # # # 4. Data sources # We use as publicly available data sources, which includes national statistical offices, ministries, regulatory authorities, transmission system operators, as well as other associations. All data sources are listed in the datapackage.json file including their link. # # ## 4.1 Germany # - "BNetzA Kraftwerksliste" [Download](http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Sachgebiete/ElektrizitaetundGas/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Versorgungssicherheit/Erzeugungskapazitaeten/Kraftwerksliste/kraftwerksliste-node.html) # - "Umweltbundesamt Datenbank Kraftwerke in Deutschland" [Download](http://www.umweltbundesamt.de/dokument/datenbank-kraftwerke-in-deutschland) # - For efficiency estimation: Jonas Egerer, Clemens Gerbaulet, Richard Ihlenburg, Friedrich Kunz, Benjamin Reinhard, Christian von Hirschhausen, Alexander Weber, Jens Weibezahn (2014): **Electricity Sector Data for Policy-Relevant Modeling: Data Documentation and Applications to the German and European Electricity Markets**.

We therefore aim to continuosly extend the lists by these information. Moreover, the list will be extended by other European countries, some are already included in the script, but not yet finalized. # # # 5.
