    Dataset - EMA protocol in action: Unlocking Mexico's clean energy potential
    Castrejon Campos, O ; Aye, L ; Hui, KP ; Vaz-Serra, P ( 2023-10-26)
    This dataset presents the outcomes of implementing the exploratory modelling and analysis (EMA) protocol for identifying robust policy mixes for clean energy transitions. The protocol, detailed in Protocol Exchange (https://protocolexchange.researchsquare.com/), is designed to explore the consequences of diverse policy alternatives and multiple uncertainties within energy transitions through computational experiments. EMA, a computational experimentation technique, plays a key role in systematically exploring the potential impacts of various policy alternatives and uncertainties within complex systems, particularly in the energy domain. This publication outlines the application of the EMA protocol in the specific case of Mexico, offering a detailed approach for researchers, policymakers, and energy analysts to explore the complex interactions between policy alternatives and uncertainties in the clean energy transition. The dataset provides insights into how different policy alternatives perform under various conditions, shedding light on their robustness and potential trade-offs. The dataset encompasses the outcomes of an open exploration and directed search processes, along with analytical sub-processes integrated to provide a comprehensive analysis. The results from implementing the EMA protocol offer a valuable resource for decision-makers and researchers seeking to navigate the complex interactions between policy alternatives and uncertainties in energy transitions.

    Dataset on effects of learning curve models on onshore wind and solar PV cost developments in the USA (Version 2)
    Castrejon Campos, O ; Aye, L ; Hui, KP ( 2022-02-21)
    This dataset includes input data to estimate learning-by-deploying (LbD) and learning-by-researching (LbR) rates for onshore wind and solar PV in the United States of America (USA). Using different learning curve approaches the simulated technological-based cost developments are also presented. Coefficient of determination (R squared) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) were applied for quantification of the agreement between simulated and observed technological-based costs.

    Dataset on validation of double U-tube borehole and seasonal solar thermal energy storage system TRNSYS models
    Shah, SK ; Aye, L ; Rismanchi, B ( 2021-08-09)
    This dataset includes data from the validation of double U-tube borehole and seasonal solar thermal energy storage system TRNSYS models. The simulated transient temperatures at various points of the systems were compared with the measured ones. To quantify the agreement between each simulated and measured temperature of interest, mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (CC) were applied.

    Dataset on validation of TRNSYS building model for a prefabricated house built in Australia
    Naji, S ; Aye, L ; Noguchi, M ( 2020-11-26)
    This dataset includes data from the validation of TRNSYS building model for a prefabricated house built in Australia. The simulated indoor temperatures were compared with the measured ones in Melbourne. The comparison was carried out for the period between 19:00:00 on 31 March 2018 and 00:00:00 on 2 April 2018. Coefficient of determination (R²), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Bias Error (MBE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Correlation Coefficient (CC) were applied for quantification of the agreement between simulated and measured temperatures.

    Dataset on thermal properties, sound reductions, TVOC emissions, and costs of envelope components for prefabricated buildings in Australia (Version 2)
    Naji, S ; Aye, L ; Noguchi, M ( 2020-07-18)
    The data included in the dataset are related to prefabricated building components and their specifications. The specification provided are component type, material, thickness, density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, sound reduction index, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) emissions and costs in various locations of Australia. The components that are included in this dataset are wall cladding, wall core, interior wall lining, insulation, roof cladding, floor covers and glazing. The authors attempted to cover most of the available component types and their available thicknesses. However, the authors acknowledge that due customisability of these products, other variations of the materials and their dimensions may have not been mentioned in the dataset. For some materials the specifications related to certain properties could net be accessed. Therefore, this dataset is designed to be open for updates and further development in the future. The dataset has been used in sets of building envelope design optimisation practices as input parameters.

    Dataset on thermal properties, sound reductions, TVOC emissions, and costs of envelope components for prefabricated buildings in Australia (Version 1)
    Naji, S ; Aye, L ; Noguchi, M ( 2020-04-04)
    This data article includes the common envelope components for prefabricated buildings in Australia. The thermal properties, sound reductions, total volatile organic compound emission rates and the cost data are included in this dataset. The material types and their available thicknesses were collected from commercially available standardised construction components. This data set can be used for building energy and indoor environmental quality performance evaluations. The cost data can be used for estimating the initial cost of building envelope. By further modification of data, they can also be used in Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools.
