Description
This dataset represents electricity generation of conventional hydropower plants and pumped-storage hydropower plants in a specific region, i.e., the weighted aggregation of reservoir-type hydropower, run-of-river hydropower, and pumped-storage hydropower. Hydropower plant construction parameters are set according to design standard specifications: the technical service life is 30 years for small-scale hydropower projects, 50 years for medium-scale projects, and 100 years for large-scale projects. The data are primarily derived from official statistics.
Activity Description

Technology comment
The electricity generation mix of different types of Hydropower plants was considered. The construction parameters of Hydropower plants were set according to design code standards, i.e., the technical service life of small hydropower projects is 30 years, that of medium-sized hydropower projects is 50 years, and that of large hydropower projects is 100 years.
