CA-SK (Saskatchewan) daily data is available in real-time #5241

Description

(Saskpower)[https://www.saskpower.com/Our-Power-Future/Our-Electricity/Electrical-System/Where-Your-Power-Comes-From] provides a live dashboard with daily avg

We could start fetching that daily avg data to enable us down the line to build an estimation model to break it down per hour

I was already halfway through building one when I realized it only had daily averages. So if nobody else is working on it I'll take a crack at it (once more).

Btw is there any way to flag that's it's a daily average to the backend directly from the parser?

pierresegonne commented 1 year ago

Not yet unfortunately. What we've done for IN-NO is just to duplicate the values for all hours of the day, with beginning of the hour convention :)

Page says "Supply Data as of Mar 26, 2023" right now, so it's not quite real-time. It would probably help estimates, though?

That's not really a concern as far as I know as we will be estimating this zone to get the hourly approximations.

See also https://github.com/electricitymaps/electricitymaps-contrib/pull/3587 for draft of a consumption parser that might be more useful now to give better estimates.

Saskatchewan is now on the map.

Was the idea to have EM backend use the consumption data to adjust estimated production values over the day? Is this possible?

Currently, the 24h production chart is flat throughout the day, which doesn't look very realistic and will create a bit of a credibility gap.

We will estimate the hourly production later on but I think we needed to collect some data to base our estimations on first and since there is no historical parsing all we can do it wait for now.

I'll double check with the data team though.
