Rule build_demand_profiles#

Creates electric demand profile csv.

Relevant Settings#

load:
    scale:
    ssp:
    weather_year:
    prediction_year:
    region_load:

Inputs#

  • networks/base.nc: confer Rule base_network, a base PyPSA Network

  • resources/bus_regions/regions_onshore.geojson: confer build_bus_regions

  • load_data_paths: paths to load profiles, e.g. hourly country load profiles produced by GEGIS

  • resources/shapes/gadm_shapes.geojson: confer Rule build_shapes, file containing the gadm shapes

Outputs#

  • resources/demand_profiles.csv: the content of the file is the electric demand profile associated to each bus. The file has the snapshots as rows and the buses of the network as columns.

Description#

The rule build_demand creates load demand profiles in correspondence of the buses of the network. It creates the load paths for GEGIS outputs by combining the input parameters of the countries, weather year, prediction year, and SSP scenario. Then with a function that takes in the PyPSA network “base.nc”, region and gadm shape data, the countries of interest, a scale factor, and the snapshots, it returns a csv file called “demand_profiles.csv”, that allocates the load to the buses of the network according to GDP and population.
