# 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)

# 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 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.



# 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.

Beside the listed publicly available sources, additional, but decentralized, information on individual power plants are available (e.g. on operator's webpages). We therefore aim to continuously extend the lists by these information.
