Open Data Sets
These data are intended to be used by researchers and other professionals working in power and energy related areas and requiring data for design, development, test, and validation purposes. These data should not be used for commercial purposes.
The public data sets are permanently available in https://site.ieee.org/pes-iss/data-sets.
Dissemination of this initiative is taking place so that the number and diversity of the published data sets increase over time and can be used as a valuable public resource for R&D activities. Your contribution for this initiative can be very important. Please disseminate and contribute; use our contact points (gecad@isep.ipp.pt; zav@isep.ipp.pt) to have all the data that can be made public published in the website.
Please check our Call for Open Data Sets.
These data sets can be used in research and development activities and the obtained results can be published in scientific publications.
Please send us your comments about the data sets and feedback on the use you’re making of them. If you use any of these data sets in your scientific publications, please don’t forget to make a reference to this web page (helping us to disseminate the initiative) and to the respective references (registered in the “sources” column of the data sets table).
We also kindly ask you to inform us about your publications that use any of these data sets so that we also include them in the dataset reference list.
The following tables below allow access to Data Sets for the following areas:
- Consumption
- Electric Vehicles
- Power Quality
- PV Generation
- Reliability
- Weather Data
- Wind Based Generation
- General Energy Data
You can access some references that use some of the available data sets here
