RoRCC

The dataset "RoRCC" consists of simulation-based results on climate change impacts on Alpine RoR power production; it is based on 21 Swiss RoR power plants, with a total production of 5.9 TWh a-1. The dataset contains the following information: 1) metadata on the RoR power plants under consideration, 2) annual and seasonal production potential scenarios under into three emission scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) and three future periods (T1: 2020–2049, T2: 2045–2074, T3: 2070–2099), 3) annual and seasonal streamflow scenarios, 4) annual and seasonal production loss due to environmental flow requirements, 5) annual and seasonal the technical increase potential (via design discharge optimisation) and 6) annual and seasonal changes in the hydrological cycle.
