Release Notes

PyPSA-Eur 0.1.0 (DATE)

This is the first release of PyPSA-Eur:

  • Documentation on installation, workflows and configuration settings is now available online at pypsa-eur.readthedocs.io (#65).

  • The conda environment files were updated and extended (#81).

  • The power plant database was updated with extensive filtering options via pandas.query functionality (#84 and #94).

  • Continuous integration testing with Travis CI is now included for Linux, Mac and Windows (#82).

  • Data dependencies were moved to zenodo and are now versioned (#60).

  • Data dependencies are now retrieved directly from within the snakemake workflow (#86).

  • Emission prices can be added to marginal costs of generators through the keyworks Ep in the {opts} wildcard (#100).

  • An option is introduced to add extendable nuclear power plants to the network (#98).

  • Focus weights can now be specified for particular countries for the network clustering, which allows to set a proportion of the total number of clusters for particular countries (#87).

  • A new rule :mod:`add_extra_components` allows to add additional components to the network only after clustering. It is thereby possible to model storage units (e.g. battery and hydrogen) in more detail via a combination of Store, Link and Bus elements (#97).

    System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 28); backlink

    Unknown interpreted text role "mod".

  • Hydrogen pipelines (including cost assumptions) can now be added alongside clustered network connections in the rule :mod:`add_extra_components` . Set electricity: extendable_carriers: Link: [H2 pipeline] and ensure hydrogen storage is modelled as a Store. This is a first simplified stage (#108).

    System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 30); backlink

    Unknown interpreted text role "mod".

  • Logfiles for all rules of the snakemake workflow are now written in the folder log/ (#102).

  • The new function _helpers.mock_snakemake creates a snakemake object which mimics the actual snakemake object produced by workflow by parsing the Snakefile and setting all paths for inputs, outputs, and logs. This allows running all scripts within a (I)python terminal (or just by calling python <script-name>) and thereby facilitates developing and debugging scripts significantly (#107).
