Populate data#
Once the download and filtering process is complete, the clean data are then processed through
a set of snakemake
rules to identify the main data inputs for the network modelling.
The following list of rules apply:
build_cutout
prepares smaller weather data portions from ERA5 for cutoutafrica-2013-era5
build_bus_regions
determines Voronoi cells for all substationsbuild_powerplants
for today’s thermal power plant capacities using powerplantmatching allocating these to the closest substation for each powerplantbuild_natura_raster
for rasterising World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA)build_renewable_profiles
for the hourly capacity factors and installation potentials constrained by land-use in each substation’s Voronoi cell for PV, onshore and offshore windbuild_demand_profiles
for the hourly demand profiles for each substation
