0.0.2
Pre-release
PyPSA-Earth-Sec v0.0.2 is the second pre-release of the model that is tested on a number of selected countries. This version marks the second milestone towards a reliable PyPSA-Earth-Sec model.
The workflow is adapted to work smoothly for the following countries: Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria and Benin. The spatial and temporal resolution of the model are felxible. It's advisable to use more than 3 nodes per country and a timestep not smaller than 3-hours.
Currently, no real sectoral demand data is used for the country inspected, instead, we use dummy data. The collection, compilation and processing of real data is underway.
The model now includes the following energy carriers: electricity, hydrogen, gas, oil and biomass as well as carbon as gas emissions and feedstock for the synthesis of the carriers.
The demand sectors covered are: residential, industry, land transport, aviation, shipping, services and agriculture.
The diagram below depicts one representative clustered node showing the combination of carriers and sectors covered in the model as well as the generation and conversion technologies included.
