wind_upstream.py

Description: This module operates immediately, calling the generate_upstream_wind(year) function within. This generates the annual emissions of each flowtype for wind farm construction for each plant in EIA923 based on upstream contributions. Emissions from the construction of turbines are accounted for elsewhere.

• Information in the main dataframe is transposed and then melted, such that the output structure is a row for each flow type for each facility.

Functions:

• generate_upstream_wind(year) - All content in this module is contained within this function.
• Calls `eia923_download_extract(year)

Data:

• EIA-923 - The survey Form EIA-923 collects detailed electric power data -- monthly and annually -- on electricity generation, fuel consumption, fossil fuel stocks, and receipts at the power plant and prime mover level (EIA)
• wind_inventory.csv - This CSV file contains flow amounts for all emissions and waste streams at each wind facility in the U.S.

Dependencies:

• pandas
• numpy
• electricitylci
