pypsa2smspp

This package aims at providing a python interface between PyPSA and SMS++ models using a simple python interface. The package aims to support:

• Convert a PyPSA model to SMS++
• Execute the optimization of the so-created SMS++ model
• Parse the solution from the SMS++ model to PyPSA

How to develop

1. First, clone the repository using git:

       git clone https://github.com/SPSUnipi/pypsa2smspp

2. Create a virtual environment using venv or conda. For exaample, using venv:

       python -m venv .venv
       source .venv/bin/activate

   Alternatively, using conda:

       conda create -n pypsa2smspp python=3.10
       conda activate pypsa2smspp

3. Install the required packages and pre-commit hooks:

       pip install -e .[dev]
       pre-commit install

   Note that the -e command line option installs the package in editable mode, so that changes to the source code are immediately available in the environment being used. The [dev] option installs the packages required for development. The pre-commit install command installs the pre-commit hooks, which are used to check the code before committing to ensure code quality standards.

4. Develop and test the code. For testing, please run:

       pytest
