GCAM-USA Scenarios for GODEEEP

This dataset contains a set of twelve future (2020-2050) scenarios modeled by GCAM-USA for the GODEEEP project for the purpose of studying the effects of climate, socioeconomic change, technology change, current decarbonization incentives, and longer-term decarbonization policies on the U.S. energy-economy, the electricity grid, human well-being, and the environment.

State-level Income Decile Projections

Income distributions are a growing area of interest in the examination of equity impacts brought on by climate change and its responses. We project US state level income distributions using a PCA-based approach.

Updated Projections of Residential Energy Consumption across Multiple Income Groups under Decarbonization Scenarios using GCAM-USA

Understanding the residential energy consumption patterns across multiple income groups under decarbonization scenarios is crucial for designing equitable and effective energy policies that address climate change while minimizing disparities. This dataset is developed using an integrated human-Earth system model, supported by the Grid Operations, Decarbonization, Environmental and Energy Equity Platform (GODEEEP) Investment at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Compared to the first version of the dataset (https://zenodo.org/record/79880387), this updated dataset is based on model runs where the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are implemented in the model scenarios. In addition to the queried and post-processed key output variables related to residential energy sector in .csv tables, we also upload the full model output databases in this repository, so that users can query their desired model outputs.

Hourly Wind and Solar Generation Profiles at 1/8th Degree Resolution

This dataset uses regional atmospheric climate model output to simulate wind and solar power generation across the entire contiguous US. This data is particularly useful for obtaining power production profiles at new locations or locations where only short records exist, or to study climate change impacts. We assume that a generic power plant exists at each grid cell and model the power output for solar at the surface and wind at 80, 100 and 125 meter hub heights. The data consists of a historical period 1980-2022 and several future scenarios that extend from 2020-2099.
