ATENTION! THIS IS A VERSION FOR EXTENDING THE TIME AGGREGATION METHODS THAT ESSENTIALLY, COPY AND ENHANCE THE TSAM PACKAGE IN THE SNAPSHOT CLUSTERING FILE, MEANT FOR PERSONAL USE. PLEASE NOTE:

• All modifications are tagged with #URI
• Two examples on how to use chronological and non-chronolgical methods are included int he /tsam-examples folder (essential is the extra_functionality).

Optimization of flexibility options for transmission grids based on PyPSA

A speciality in this context is that transmission grids are described by the 380, 220 and 110 kV in Germany. Conventionally the 110kV grid is part of the distribution grid. The integration of the transmission and 'upper' distribution grid is part of eTraGo.

The focus of optimization are flexibility options with a special focus on energy storages. Grid expansion measures are not part of this tool and will be instead part of 'eGo' https://github.com/openego/eGo

Setup

Create a virtualenvironment (where you like it) and activate it:

$ virtualenv venv --clear -p python3.5
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ cd venv

Clone the source code from github

$ git clone https://github.com/openego/eTraGo

With your activated environment cd to the cloned directory and run:

$ pip3 install -e eTraGo --process-dependency-links

This will install all needed packages into your environment. Now you should be ready to go.
