Datasets

NREL's high-performance computing systems provide fast, parallel access to high-value datasets stored on the Lustre filesystem.

These data are stored with documentation under /datasets/ and are supported with software modules. Due to the very large size of these data resources, this is a unique resource available only at NREL.
