GEOSS Renewable Energy Scenario.

This service provides an unique access to a set of "core" map layers of meteorological data from the HelioClim database of Mines ParisTech such as:

  • Global Horizontal Irradiance map (kWh/m²) - HelioClim 3 database
  • Direct Normal Incidence Irradiance map (kWh/m²) - HelioClim 3 database
  • Shadows map (%) - computed from GTOPO 30 database
  • Terrain elevation map (m.) - SRTM/GTOPO 30 database
  • Local maximum slope map (in degree) - HYDRO 1K database

It also allows to retrieve "optional" geographical and environement map layers from GEOSS partners such as the World map layers from DEMIS and population density from CEISIN as listed in the optional layers section.

This service is presently limited to Europe

The GEOSS Renewable Energy Scenario is set up by the Mines ParisTech.
It is a joint effort of Mines ParisTech and team in the GEOSS AIP-2 Call For Proposal:

Maps provided as map layers within this service include:

  1. An Area Of Interest or AOI must be entered using the AOI selection button aoi.
  2. A size map must be defined from small, medium or large.
  3. A multiple list of optional layers can be selected to be added to the final archive result

The output of the GEOSS Renewable Energy Scenario is a compressed KMZ archive file that contains for the Area Of Interest and according to the selected map size a set of "core" layers in GeoTIFF format plus optional layers if selected in GIF/TIFF fomats.
