python PReprocessing of Inputs for Model frAmeworks: a tool to automate the creation of energy system models using a common database
- Aggregation of input data for any user-defined regions provided as a shapefile
- Automation of the pre-processing to document assumptions and avoid human errors
- Cleaning of raw input data and creation of model-independent intermediate files
- Adaptation of the intermediate files to the models urbs and evrys
This code is useful if:
- You want to create different models using the same input database, but different model regions
- You want to harmonize the assumptions used in different model frameworks (for comparison and/or linking)
- You want to generate many models in a short amount of time with fewer human errors
