Abstract:
During the last decades, an increasing number of studies have focused their attention on the development of energy system models in order to facilitate sustainable energy planning strategies and understand the technical challenges associated with the integration of renewable energy sources. However, these models usually require detailed and large amount of data as inputs. The data presented in this article provides key inputs and modelling assumptions adopted in the research paper titled "Large scale integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the future Colombian energy system" [1]. These datasets can be used by researchers and policymakers in order to analyse different pathways oriented to the development of low carbon strategies for Colombia and countries with similar energy systems.

Power and Energy
Power, defined as the time rate of expending or absorbing energy, is quantified in units called watts (W). The relation between power and energy is mathematically given as

Energy Diagrams - II
The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The...
Energy Diagrams - I
Take the example of a skater on a parabolic ramp. The potential energy at different points along the ramp will be proportional to the height of the ramp, which varies quadratically with the horizontal position on the ramp. As the skater moves down the ramp from the highest position,...

Photoreceptors
The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of...
