# PyPSA-Eur-Sec: A Sector-Coupled Open Optimisation Model of the European Energy System
|
|
|
|
PyPSA-Eur-Sec is an open model dataset of the European energy system at the
|
|
transmission network level that covers the full ENTSO-E area.
|
|
|
|
PyPSA-Eur-Sec builds on the electricity generation and transmission
|
|
model [PyPSA-Eur](https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur) to add demand
|
|
and supply for the following sectors: transport, space and water
|
|
heating, biomass, industry and industrial feedstocks, agriculture,
|
|
forestry and fishing. This completes the energy system and includes
|
|
all greenhouse gas emitters except waste management and land use.
|
|
|
|
**WARNING**: PyPSA-Eur-Sec is under active development and has several
|
|
[limitations](https://pypsa-eur-sec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/limitations.html) which
|
|
you should understand before using the model. The github repository
|
|
[issues](https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur-sec/issues) collect known
|
|
topics we are working on (please feel free to help or make suggestions).
|
|
The [documentation](https://pypsa-eur-sec.readthedocs.io/) remains somewhat
|
|
patchy.
|
|
You can find showcases of the model's capabilities in the preprint
|
|
[Benefits of a Hydrogen Network in Europe](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.05816),
|
|
a [paper in Joule with a description of the industry
|
|
sector](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.09563), or in [a 2021
|
|
presentation at EMP-E](https://nworbmot.org/energy/brown-empe.pdf).
|
|
We cannot support this model if you choose to use it.
|
|
|
|
Please see the [documentation](https://pypsa-eur-sec.readthedocs.io/)
|
|
for installation instructions and other useful information about the snakemake workflow.
|
|
|
|
This diagram gives an overview of the sectors and the links between
|
|
them:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each of these sectors is built up on the transmission network nodes
|
|
from [PyPSA-Eur](https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For computational reasons the model is usually clustered down
|
|
to 50-200 nodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PyPSA-Eur-Sec was initially based on the model PyPSA-Eur-Sec-30 described
|
|
in the paper [Synergies of sector coupling and transmission
|
|
reinforcement in a cost-optimised, highly renewable European energy
|
|
system](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.05290) (2018) but it differs by
|
|
being based on the higher resolution electricity transmission model
|
|
[PyPSA-Eur](https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur) rather than a
|
|
one-node-per-country model, and by including biomass, industry,
|
|
industrial feedstocks, aviation, shipping, better carbon management,
|
|
carbon capture and usage/sequestration, and gas networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PyPSA-Eur-Sec includes PyPSA-Eur as a
|
|
[snakemake](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html)
|
|
[subworkflow](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/snakefiles/modularization.html#snakefiles-sub-workflows). PyPSA-Eur-Sec
|
|
uses PyPSA-Eur to build the clustered transmission model along with
|
|
wind, solar PV and hydroelectricity potentials and time series. Then
|
|
PyPSA-Eur-Sec adds other conventional generators, storage units and
|
|
the additional sectors.
