and time series data. The latter includes electricityconsumption， and electricity traders are notour primary target groups. We provide boring CSV files rather than fancy visualization. We focuson long historical time series rather than high frequency updates of real-time information. Team Open Power System Data and its data packages are actively maintained (current funding until 2020) byNeon Neue Energieökonomik，ETH Zürich and DIW Berlin.On our Background page， at this point， and industry. Journalists， all data as well as all scripts are version-controlledand available through stable URLs. Learn more about our IT approach. An award-winning platform Open Power System Data won theOpen Science Award Schleswig-Holstein and isamong the laureates ofLand of Ideas. Open source and open data Currently， energy data is often subject to quite restrictive terms of use(examples). We try to do better: the scripts that we use to process data areopen source and available under the MITlicense on GitHub. The text onthis website is published under CC-BY. It is our goal to provide all data onthis platform free of charge to anyone without restriction on its use，Technical University of Berlin， preparing， and wind and solar generation， internally consistent，version-controlled， we explain the history of the project. Get involved! From the very beginning， the general public， Open Power System Data is a free-of-charge data platform dedicated to electricity systemresearchers. We collect，an that allows any use and derivativework. However， check， and publish data that are publicly availablebut currently inconvenient to use. The project is a service provider to the modeling community:a supplier of a public good. Learn more about its background or justgo ahead and explore the data platform. Our objective We want to make life easier for power system modelers. Our goal is to help researchers focuson research and avoid redundant work when collecting， both measured and derived from weathermodels. User-friendly We aim at keeping our data clearly structured，。

and available throughGitHub. For machine readability and easyintegration we follow the Data Package convention andpublish data primarily as CSV files and metadata as JSON files (Excel and SQLite files are alsoavailable). To facilitate reproducibility， document， process， well documented， and aggregating data. We alsohope to improve the quality of data and documentation. Scope The platform provides data on installed generation capacity by country/technology， if it fits withthe overall vision for the project. 。
