This GitHub repository includes python code for calculating floating photovoltaics (FPV) power output for the global lakes and reservoirs based on the GSEE algorithm. The generated dataset can be accessed at Figshare.

ERA5_data

Download three variable at a hourly time step from the ERA5 dataset including the surface solar radiation downwards, total sky direct solar radiation at surface, and 2m temperature.

0_divide.ipynb

Due to the computational cost of GSEE, we divide the globe into latitudinal regions. These code divides the netCDF files of the three variables into latitudinal files.

1_run_gsee.py

This code calls the GSEE code and calculate power output for each latitudinal region.

2_merge.ipynb

This code merges all latitudinal regions to create the global FPV power output dataset. Also, it plots an example for the month of August.
