Abstract: The tool cd2es converts climate projections from CORDEX (WCRP, 2024) to energy system model input data.The tool is written in Python and uses snakemake for workflow management.cd2es can calculate the impact of climate change on input data time series for energy system models (e.g.capacity factors).In contrast to existing tools, cd2es can use a variety of different climate models instead of historic weather data.cd2es can automatically download CORDEX model outputs.Optionally, a bias-adaption with ERA5-reanalysis data can be performed.The outputs are time series for renewable capacity factors, demand and the availability of thermal power plants aggregated to user specific geometries with an hourly resolution for easy implementation into different energy system models.
