Simplifying Networks
The simplification snakemake rules prepare approximations of the full model, for which it is computationally viable to co-optimize generation, storage and transmission capacities.
- simplify_network transforms the transmission grid to a 380 kV only equivalent network, while
- cluster_network uses a k-means based clustering technique to partition the network into a given number of zones and then reduce the network to a representation with one bus per zone.
The simplification and clustering steps are described in detail in the paper [The role of spatial scale in joint optimisations of generation and transmission for European highly renewable scenarios](https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.07617), 2017, [arXiv:1705.07617](https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.07617), [doi:10.1109/EEM.2017.7982024](https://doi.org/10.1109/EEM.2017.7982024).
