Great Britain's power system with a high penetration of renewable energy: Dataset supporting future scenarios

The share of variable renewable energy (VRE) is forecasted to increase in the energy sector to meet decarbonization targets and/or reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. The modeling of future power system scenarios is crucial to assess the role of different flexibility options, including low -carbon technologies. The data presented here support the research article "The role of energy storage in Great Britain's future power system: focus on hydrogen and biomass". These data include updated parameters, inputs, equations, biomass resource potential and biomass demand to balance bio-power and bio-hydrogen requirements. The Future Renewable Energy Performance into the Power System Model (FEPPS), a rule -based model that includes flexibility and stability constraints, has been used, and the hourly results of future scenarios by 2030 and 2040 are provided. Researchers, policy makers, and investors could use this paper as these data provide insights into the role of different technologies (including hydrogen and biomass) in power generation, system flexibility, decarbonization and costs.
