It is defined as equal to the month-ahead forecasted sum of power generated by plants on both TSO/DSO networks, from which is deduced:
the balance (export-import) of exchanges on interconnections between neighbouring bidding zones
the power absorbed by energy storage resources
Usage
load_month_ahead_total_forecast(
eic = NULL,
period_start = ymd(Sys.Date() - days(x = 1L), tz = "CET"),
period_end = ymd(Sys.Date(), tz = "CET"),
tidy_output = TRUE,
security_token = Sys.getenv("ENTSOE_PAT")
)Arguments
- eic
Energy Identification Code of the bidding zone/ country/control area
- period_start
POSIXct or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format One year range limit applies
- period_end
POSIXct or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format One year range limit applies
- tidy_output
Defaults to TRUE. If TRUE, then flatten nested tables.
- security_token
Security token for ENTSO-E transparency platform
Value
A tibble::tibble() with the queried data.
