Features

Here is a list of changes made to this repository specifically for this work, with the potential to be upstreamed to the main PyPSA-Eur repository.

Model Features for Energy Storage Technologies

• Add structure in prepare_sector_network to specify a modelling approach of storages as either Stores or StorageUnits (open-energy-transition/pypsa-eur#15)

• Add iron-air battery as storage technology with implementation as StorageUnit or Store (open-energy-transition/pypsa-eur#20)

• Add Lithium Iron Phosphate, Vanadium, Liquid-air, Compressed-air energy storage technologies as StorageUnit (open-energy-transition/pypsa-eur#21)

Model Adjustment Features

• Add an option to overwrite cost table attributes with the config in prepare_costs and load_costs (open-energy-transition/pypsa-eur#23)

• Add ramping limit options for conventional powerplants in prepare_sector_network. (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#28)

• Adjust emission to only include the sector scope (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#29)

• Add option for final_adjustment before solving the network. This script is used to limit the electricity grid interconnecting capacity for each country (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#33)

• Add a constraint to limit the use of Direct Air Capture (DAC) (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#42)

• Include heat DSM implementation and configuration (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#47)

• Add option to disable CHP capacity extendability for Germany in final_adjustment (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#62)

• Add a filter_year configuration option that is used to filter out projects that have a build_year until and including the given filter_year (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#65)

Model Visualization Features

• Add KPI visualization script and functions. (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#30)

• Add new battery techs to nice names and plotting for cost map (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#31)

• Add plotting script for FE KPIs (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#37)

• Include optional use of Latex for plotting (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#59)

• Create notebook with scenarios comparison. All plots and PyPSA networks can be exported to csvs (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#61)

• Add csvs to all map plots and fixes in line loading plots (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#68)

Model Documentation Features

• Provide documentation using github pages (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#57)

Model Calibration Runs

• Calibration run 2023/2024 (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#45)

Bugfixes

• Fix deprecation warning inside prepare_cost and load_cost functions (open-energy-transition/pypsa-eur#24)

• Fix bugs of adding nuclear capacities twice (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#32)

• Fix for heat_dsm_profile for leap year (open-energy-transition/form-energy-storage#60)
