Abstract

This data resource supports Marshall & Grubert (2021). The study presents operational hydropower parameters calculated based on six years of hourly data from 158 dams, and estimates power generation in these hours based on monthly hydropower generation data reported to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). More details on calculated parameters are available in the associated manuscript. The data are distributed as a Shiny application. The application can be run locally by downloading the data package, accessed at: https://adrienne-marshall.shinyapps.io/hydropower/, or users can use the data included for their own analyses (further documentation in the readme.md further down this page).
