NYgrid-python

A python version of the NYgrid model.

It contains the following components:

• Optimal power flow (OPF) model
• Renewable integration
• Building electrification
• Battery storage
• Electric vehicle (EV) charging

Installation

1. Install Anaconda.
2. Install Git.
3. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/boyuan276/NYgrid-python.git

4. Create a conda environment:

conda env create -f NYgrid-python.yml

5. Activate the environment:

conda activate NYgrid-python

6. Install the package:

pip install -e .

Usage

1. Activate the environment:

conda activate NYgrid-python

2. Run the model:

   • Go to the examples folder.

   • Run the model with default parameters:

     python ex_opf_wo_renew.py

   • Run the model with renewable integration:

     # With future distributed solar integration
     python ex_opf_w_future_solar.py
     
     # With offshore wind integration
     python ex_opf_w_offshore_wind.py
     
     # With solar, offshore wind, and building electrification integration
     python ex_opf_w_renew.py

Note: Renewable timeseries data need to be prepared before running the model.
