Features

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

• Added res_additionallity (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#16)

• Improved retrieving of CI load input data (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#17)

• Added national renewable capacity targets (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#18)

• Established a standardized background scenario prior to implementing procurement strategies (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#22)

• Added the impact of electricity imports from neighboring buses into the grid quality score (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#23)

• Set capacities based on the TYNDP transmission grid (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#24)

• Added a new procurement scope: continent (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#34)

• Added cap_premium to support optimal spatial allocation of CI procurement technologies (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#36)

Procurement Strategy Development

• Added annual volume matching strategy (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#8)

• Added 24/7 carbon-free energy strategy (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#9)

• Added mmission-matching constraint and retrieve CI load share from Eurostat (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#12)

• Improved emission_matching_constraints and refactored the CI load workflow (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#26)

Model Usability Improvements

• Developed the first command-line interface for running the model (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#25)

• Added user documentation via GitHub Pages (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#37)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issues with emissionality signal handling (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#28)

• Removed requirement for specifying a procurement year in extra_functionality (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#29)

• Corrected configuration loading to enable procurement via config instead of params (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#33)

• Addressed final scenario preparation bug (open-energy-transition/procurement-metastudy#35)
