Title: PyPSA-Earth. A New Global Open Energy System Optimization Model Demonstrated in Africa
Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.04663
The repository should help reproducing the results for the paper. Note that the PyPSA-Earth model is constantly evolving (and you can join). To reproduce the results for the paper you would need to use version v.0.1.0.
Steps to reproduce the results:
- Follow the installation requirements and instruction for PyPSA-Earth.
- Move the here provided configurations to your local Earth model copy and name them
config.yaml
- For each config, execute the workflow (detailed in the PyPSA-Earth) with the command
snakemake -j1 solve_all_networks
- The plots to reproduce the all images are shared in the
notebooks
folder inPyPSA-Africa/Earth
Requirements:
- A user requires about 50GB disk space and about 16-32 GBRAM
- PyPSA meets Earth initiative website, to see about all our activities
- PyPSA-Earth github page, to run the model on the most updated version
