Include electricity reference grid

[tgilon]

Closes #15.

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

This PR suggests to add options in PyPSA-Eur to use the reference grid of TYNDP and the defined expansion candidates (all NTC values). This feature is expected to create new rules and modify a set of rules (see bellow).

To reproduce this PR, run

make tyndp

Tasks

• Read data from data/tyndp_2024_bundle/Line data/ReferenceGrid_Electricity.xlsx (2030 reference grid)
• Create a base network prebuilt dataset using bidding zone shape file
• Implement a working option to use tyndp-raw data
• Create a rule to plot base_network
• Validate reference grid
• Create tyndp configuration and scenario files
• Disable clustering when using tyndp-raw
• Validate everything after cluster_network
• Integrate code to create shape files
• Create prebuilt as OSM
• Contribute upstream
• Add investment candidates as projects

Workflow

1. (new) build_bidding_zones
   • Integrate code to create bidding zone shape files
2. (new) build_tyndp_network
   • Build the TYNDP reference network in resources, following the structure defined by OSM
   • Use bidding zone shape file to define geometry
     • Option 1 : (current) Using entsoe-py
     • Option 2 : Using electricitymaps-contrib
   • Use representative point of the regions to place nodes
   • Customize topology to TYNDP needs
   • Using data/tyndp_2024_bundle/Line data/ReferenceGrid_Electricity.xlsx, define links between nodes (NTC)
   • Assumptions taken when reading data/tyndp_2024_bundle/Line data/ReferenceGrid_Electricity.xlsx
     • PL00E and PL00I are co-located with PL00
     • ITCO is co-located with ITCN
     • LUB1, LUF1, LUV1 and LUG1 are co-located
     • Locations of ITCO and ITVI are assumed to be respectively at FR15 and ITSI
3. base_network
   • Add an option in the configuration file to use tyndp-raw
   • Use the same code as OSM to create the network
4. (new) plot_base_network
   • Add a plotting rule to show the reference grid
5. cluster_network
   • Disable cluster network for tyndp-raw

Open Issues

This is a list of open issues in the dataset. It illustrates discrepancies between Scenario Methodology Report p15 and data/tyndp_2024_bundle/Line data/ReferenceGrid_Electricity.xlsx from TYNDP 2024.

• We see different NTC between the two plots:
  • FR00 <> BE00 wider on the created plot compared to the reference. Data available:
    • FR00 > BE00 : 4300 MW & BE00 > FR00 : 2800 MW
    • Comparing this to FR00 <> ITN1 where FR00 > ITN1 : 4485 MW & ITN1 > FR00 2160 MW
    • There is no reason to have such a huge difference between the two lines on the reference graph
  • FR00 <> CH00, same observation as for FR00 <> BE00
    • FR00 > CH00 : 4500 MW & CH00 > FR00 : 2200 MW
    • Comparing this to FR00 <> ITN1 where FR00 > ITN1 : 4485 MW & ITN1 > FR00 2160 MW
  • DE00 <> DKW1 wider on the created plot compared to the reference. Data available:
    • DE00 > DKW1 : 3500 MW & DKW1 > DE00 : 3500 MW
    • Comparing this to DE00 <> PL00 where DE00 > PL00I : 2000 MW & PL00E > DE00 : 3000 MW
  • HU00 <> SK00 wider on the created plot compared to the reference. Data available:
    • HU00 > SK00 : 1800 MW & SK00 > HU00 : 2513 MW
    • Comparing this to HU00 <> RO00 where HU00 > RO00 : 1617 MW & RO00 > HU00 : 1435 MW
  • All of the Balkans seem to have a minimum width imposed in the reference plot.
  • NOS0 <> NOM1 wider on the reference plot compared to the one we create. Data available:
    • NOS0 > NOM1 : 600 MW & NOM1 > NOS0 : 800 MW
    • Comparing this to NOM1 <> SE02 where NOM1 > SE02 : 600 MW & SE02 > NOM1 : 1000 MW
  • GR00 <> GR03 wider on the reference plot compared to the one we create. Data available:
    • GR00 > GR03 : 800 MW & GR03 > GR00 : 800 MW
    • Comparing this to GR00 <> MK00 where GR00 > MK00 : 1100 MW & MK00 > GR00 : 850 MW
  • GR03 <> CY00 wider on the reference plot compared to the one we create. Data available:
    • GR03 > CY00 : 1000 MW & CY00 > GR03 : 1000 MW
    • Comparing this to GR00 <> MK00 where GR00 > MK00 : 1100 MW & MK00 > GR00 : 850 MW

Notes

This is the current base network.

This is the reference point from Scenario Methodology Report.
