Tutorial: Getting Started with PyPSA-Eur: An Open Optimisation Model of the European Power Transmission

Installation instructions for the Pypsa-Eur-Tutorial

  1. Get the data from the git repository

(or if you want to install git, follow the instructions here )

  • otherwise, go to the git repository and download the ZIP (click green box: Clone or download \rightarrow Download ZIP), and unzip the folder
  1. Pypsa-Eur relies on a set of other Python packages. The easiest way to install them is to use conda (an environment management system). If conda is not already installed on your system, you can install miniconda by following the installation guide

  2. Open a terminal and cd to the cloned/downloaded repository pypsa-eur-tut and install the environment with

some_other_path/pypsa-eur-tut$ conda env create -f environment.yaml

  1. save some already solved networks (~1GB) from pypsa-eur-tut_networks – Google Drive
    in the folder pypsa-eur-tut

Now you are ready to start with the tutorial! :smiley:

It would be convenient to install the necessary packages before the tutorial since the internet connection might not be that great.
