Techno-economic dataset and assumptions for long-term energy systems modelling in the Dominican Republic (2024–2050) Giuseppe Sbriz-Zeitun Deyslen Mariano-Hernandez Jarrizon Quevedo Miguel Aybar-Mejía Idalberto Herrera Moya Carla Cannone Mark Howells Rudolf Yeganyan energy transition Dominican Republic island states open data energy regulators scenario analysis The land transport sector, impacting fossil fuel consumption, has been selected as one of the sectors to apply decarbonization strategies. Energy systems modelling is an applied tool to evaluate scenarios and strategies that can be implemented in the transport sector to achieve energy transitions. These energy modelling tools need a dataset that allows the simulation of alternative scenarios of the systems. For this purpose, a collection and processing of technical-economic data is needed to ensure a quality input for simulation tools. This article presents a set of open data to create a model of the energy system of the Dominican Republic to assess alternative scenarios and develop strategies to achieve the energy transition in the land transport sector. This exercise is performed to support the energy planning policies of the country. Although the dataset is presented for the conditions of the Dominican Republic, the insight regarding data gathering and processing can be applied to other island countries. The data obtained are an open-access database of energy regulators, generation agents, and representatives of the generation, transmission, and distribution sector, as well as websites, databases of international organizations, scientific journals, and standards. Therefore, the data presented can be updated as the technical-economic information becomes public. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2023.110012 Data in Brief Data in Brief urn:issn:2352-3409 Data in Brief, 2024, vol. 52, p. 110012 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2023.110012 Q3 doaj pubmed Industry, innovation and infrastructure Climate action Affordable and clean energy Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Decarbonising the power sector of the Dominican Republic: An approach from electric mobility transition Deyslen Mariano-Hernandez Jarrizon Quevedo Miguel Aybar-Mejía Idalberto Herrera Moya Giuseppe Sbriz-Zeitun Carla Cannone Mark Howells Rudolf Yeganyan decarbonization electric mobility electric utilities greenhouse gas emissions Dominican Republic coal phase-out energy investment OSeMOSYS energy transition scenarios land transport energy crisis climate commitments The electrical power and land transportation systems of the Dominican Republic are facing significant challenges due to growing demand in both sectors. These two systems are responsible for around 62% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the deployment of electric mobility, the power and transport sectors can synergise and contribute significantly to long-term sustainable planning. This article analyses the impact of the penetration of electric mobility programmed by the Dominican Republic's National Institute of Transit and Land Transport (INTRANT), the country's goal of reducing GHG emissions by 27% by 2030 and the decarbonisation process. Using the open-source modelling system OSeMOSYS, four scenarios are built to explore strategies that contribute to sustainable development in the long term. Meeting climate change commitments necessitates that all coal-fired plants in the country will be closed or transformed by 2040. Despite the positive role of electric mobility in reducing GHG, decarbonising the electricity sector while facing the energy crisis requires investments totalling around 16 billion USD. Failing to make these investments will incur expenses of approximately 6 billion USD on the user's side in the period from 2024 to 2030 to cover energy needs; this figure represents more than 270% of the amount that should be invested in the electrical power system to supply these users' needs. 2024 en info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esr.2024.101357 Energy Strategy Reviews Energy Strategy Reviews urn:issn:2211-467X urn:issn:2211-4688 Energy Strategy Reviews, 2024, vol. 52, p. 101357 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esr.2024.101357 Q1 doaj Industry, innovation and infrastructure Climate action Affordable and clean energy Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Modeling of the dominican republic energy systems with OSeMOSYS to assess alternative scenarios for the expansion of renewable energy sources Jarrizon Quevedo Idalberto Herrera Moya renewable energy deployment energy system modelling OSeMOSYS CO2 emissions reserve margin fossil fuel import dependence energy policy targets electricity demand 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article journal-article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nexus.2022.100075 Energy Nexus Energy Nexus urn:issn:2772-4271 Energy Nexus, 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess cc-by-nc-nd https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772427122000389/pdf doaj Industry, innovation and infrastructure Climate action Affordable and clean energy Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo https://www.intec.edu.do/portal Análisis de escenarios para la transición energética sostenible de pequeños estados insulares en desarrollo caso de estudio La República dominicana Quevedo Núñez, Jarrizon Herrera Moya, Idalberto Sistemas híbridos de energía Política energética Desarrollo energético Esta investigación se orientó al análisis de los escenarios alternativos para la descarbonización de la matriz energética de la República Dominicana (RD) a partir de la transición a las fuentes renovables de energía. Con información de bases de datos nacionales y reportes internacionales, se modelaron usando OSEMOSYS escenarios de expansión del suministro eléctrico y la integración de la movilidad eléctrica programada por el Instituto Nacional de Tránsito y Transporte Terrestre (INTRANT), así como la meta del país de reducir en un 27% las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) al 2030 respecto al año 2010, según se establece en el escenario tendencial del Plan de República Dominicana para el Desarrollo Económico Compatible con el Cambio Climático, en el que se prevén emisiones de 51 Mt CO2 para el 2030 (Consejo Nacional para el Cambio Climático y Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio, 2011). Se tuvieron en cuenta los costos de despliegue de las tecnologías, las emisiones GEI, la eficiencia, la demanda de electricidad, la integración de nuevos proyectos de generación, el crecimiento de la población y el margen de reserva. Los resultados indican que las tecnologías de energías renovables, con niveles de penetración superiores al 40% en el horizonte hasta el 2050, jugarán un papel importante en la transición energética. Los resultados sugieren que para cumplir con el compromiso firmado por RD en el Acuerdo de París es necesaria una inversión total de 11,405.00 MMUSD en un periodo de 16 años a ejecutar a razón del 4% anual. Se encontró que cumplir con los compromisos de reducción de emisiones de GEI implica cerrar o transformar las centrales a carbón del país para el 2040. A pesar del papel positivo de la movilidad eléctrica en la reducción de GEI, descarbonizar el sector eléctrico requiere inversiones de alrededor de 15,703.00 MMUSD; no realizar estas inversiones puede generar gastos por parte de los usuarios para cubrir sus necesidades energéticas de alrededor de 5,961.41 MMUSD en el periodo 2024-2030.
