Power_Generation_Dataset - Raw and sliced
The csv file contains a "Raw", "Cleaned Up", and a "Sliced" sheet.
The "Cleaned Up" sheet contains the data with unnecessary and irrelevant columns removed in-order to help produce a pivot table for the "Sliced" sheet to better filter the data.
The "Sliced" sheet contains a pivot table that has been filtered to only show "Canada", "Wind power turbine", and the total units produced from both privately owned and publicly owned companies and with columns for each year and month from 2010 and 2020.

News Story/Study Link and Brief Summary
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/sask-wind-power-increase-1.5385821
The news article by CBC for Saskatoon, covers how non-renewable combustible production of energy is being phased out in favor of renewables to help meet demand and fill the gap in Saskatchewan. The national regulator predicts that Wind power's prominence will increase by 15 times by 2040.
The article ends with skeptical comments from a veteran member in the Saskatchewan wind power community on the prominence of wind power but acknowledges the importance for the change.
Hi Elvin! This is a really interesting story and super relevant for today. Your slice of information confused me a little bit because it looks like it repeats itself a little bit, so you might be able to take out a couple rows to cut it down a bit. That article you picked is a great one, I like that it projects into the future the kind of data you're looking at now!
ReplyDeleteHello Elvin,
ReplyDeleteI like this dataset a lot. Its really interesting to see one type of power generation. The slice is kind of confusing you just wrote an number, but you never stated the numbers units. I find that slightly confusing, due to the fact I don't know if a big number is good, or if it is bad. I cannot wait to see your final report on this topic.
Hi Elvin! This is a great dataset and the top is quite interesting. After reviewing our sliced data it was clear on how you had come to a conclusion to see a upward trend of powered generated turbine from the year 2010. However, I would suggest taking out a few rows of fluff to make your dataset more concise. Overall, you did a great job at identifying this trend. Your story was very relevant and complimented your dataset conclusion well.
ReplyDeleteHi Elvin! Awesome site by the way! It looks great! In terms of your update, it's very clear what you intend to do and your links are all working. I would suggest slightly editing your lead so that you start the sentence with the date. That might make it easier to read and more "news-like."
ReplyDeleteHi Elvin,
ReplyDeleteYour update is very clear and concise which is amazing and simple to read! I found the explanation for you workbook to be a bit confusing; hence, I did not really get the chance to understand your data slice as well as I would have liked too! However, I can't wait to read your final report as your news story and dataset are very interesting!
