########################################## Preparing Networks ########################################## The preparation process of the PyPSA-Eur energy system model consists of a group of ``snakemake`` rules which are briefly outlined and explained in detail in the sections below: - :mod:`build_shapes` generates GeoJSON files with shapes of the countries, exclusive economic zones and `NUTS3 `_ areas. - :mod:`build_cutout` prepares smaller weather data portions from `ERA5 `_ for cutout ``europe-2013-era5`` and SARAH for cutout ``europe-2013-sarah``. With these and the externally extracted ENTSO-E online map topology (``data/entsoegridkit``), it can build a base PyPSA network with the following rules: - :mod:`base_network` builds and stores the base network with all buses, HVAC lines and HVDC links, while - :mod:`build_bus_regions` determines `Voronoi cells `_ for all substations. Then the process continues by calculating conventional power plant capacities, potentials, and per-unit availability time series for variable renewable energy carriers and hydro power plants with the following rules: - :mod:`build_powerplants` for today's thermal power plant capacities using `powerplantmatching `_ allocating these to the closest substation for each powerplant, - :mod:`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 wind, and - :mod:`build_hydro_profile` for the hourly per-unit hydro power availability time series. The central rule :mod:`add_electricity` then ties all the different data inputs together into a detailed PyPSA network stored in ``networks/elec.nc``. .. _shapes: Build Shapes ============================= .. automodule:: build_shapes .. _cutout: Build Cutout ============================= .. automodule:: build_cutout .. _links: Prepare HVDC Links ============================= .. automodule:: prepare_links_p_nom .. _base: Base Network ============================= .. automodule:: base_network .. _busregions: Build Bus Regions ============================= .. automodule:: build_bus_regions .. _natura: Build Natura Raster ============================= .. automodule:: build_natura_raster .. _flh: Build Country Full Load Hours ============================= .. automodule:: build_country_flh .. _powerplants: Build Power Plants ============================= .. automodule:: build_powerplants .. _renewableprofiles: Build Renewable Profiles ======================== .. automodule:: build_renewable_profiles .. _hydroprofiles: Build Hydro Profile ============================= .. automodule:: build_hydro_profile .. _electricity: Add Electricity ============================= .. automodule:: add_electricity
