PyPSA-Eur-Sec: A Sector-Coupled Open Optimisation Model of the European Energy System

PyPSA-Eur-Sec builds on the electricity generation and transmission model PyPSA-Eur to add demand and supply for the following sectors: transport, space and water heating, biomass, industry and industrial feedstocks. This completes the energy system and includes all greenhouse gas emitters except waste management, agriculture, forestry and land use.

PyPSA-Eur-Sec includes PyPSA-Eur as a snakemake subworkflow. PyPSA-Eur-Sec uses PyPSA-Eur to build the clustered transmission model along with wind, solar PV and hydroelectricity potentials and time series. Then PyPSA-Eur-Sec adds other conventional generators, storage units and the additional sectors.

Currently the scripts to solve and process the resulting PyPSA models are also included in PyPSA-Eur-Sec, although they could in future be better integrated with the corresponding scripts in PyPSA-Eur. A stumbling block to sharing solve_network.py between PyPSA-Eur and PyPSA-Eur-Sec is the different extra_functionality required to build storage and CHP constraints.

Installation

First install PyPSA-Eur and all its dependencies. Clone the repository:

projects % git clone [email protected]:PyPSA/pypsa-eur.git

then download and unpack all the data files.

Create a parallel directory for PyPSA-Eur-Sec with:

projects % git clone [email protected]:nworbmot/pypsa-eur-sec.git

Package requirements

The requirements are the same as PyPSA-Eur, but for solve_network.py in addition you need gurobipy and the nomopyomo branch of PyPSA, which are currently imported "by hand" at the start of the solve_network.py script. The nomopyomo branch will be merged into the future PyPSA release 0.16.0.

Data requirements

The data requirements include the JRC-IDEES-2015 database, JRC biomass potentials, EEA emission statistics, Eurostat Energy Balances, urban district heating potentials, emobility statistics, timezone mappings and heating profiles.

The data bundle is about 640 MB.
