Hi @sbirk
Have you had contact with the strommarkttreffen.org electricity market community based in Berlin?
Did you see this 2019 openmod do‑a‑thon on distribution level flexibility and subsequent events?
You are correct that PyPSA‑Eur is strongly reliant on OpenStreetMap data and derived projects that seek to characterize energy system assets. More here on infrastructure interpretation.
Perhaps HELMpy on GitHub has something to offer?
This more recent work at PIK in Potsdam also:
- Hellmann, Frank (29 August 2024). [Op]en [Po]wer [Dyn]amics — Presentation. Potsdam, Germany: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). OpPoDyn First Workshop.
And the associated openmod posting.
Finally, this aging paper might provide some clues:
- Cain, Mary B, Richard P O’Neill, and Anya Castillo (December 2012). History of optimal power flow and formulations.
HTH, R
