Description
This dataset contains an ensemble of monthly hydropower generation projections for the United States Federal Hydropower plants for the periods of 1966-2005 (historical period) and 2011-2050 (future period). The dataset includes the monthly hydropower projections developed in (Kao et al. 2016) based on the Watershed Runoff-Energy Storage (WRES) model and is complemented with another ensemble based on the process-based Water Management Power (WMP) model. The hydrologic projections are estimated through a cascading modeling toolchain that include ten global climate change model projections (ACCESS1-0, BCC-CSM1-1, CCSM4, CMCC-CM, GFDL-ESM2M, MIROC5, MPI-ESM-MR, MRI-CGCM3, NorESM1-M and IPSL-CM5A-LR) under RCP8.5 scenario, which are dynamically downscaled with a regional climate model (RegCM4) ( Pal et al. 2007, Giorgi et al. 2012)), which then inform the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrology model (Liang et al. 1994). The ensemble of hydrologic projections is then informing two processes to translate runoff into hydropower projections. First, WRES models monthly river routing and employs a non-linear statistical approach relating monthly natural flow to hydropower generation…
