unavailability in transmission grid only for unplanned outages BSNTYPE 'A54' / planned outages are not covered 'A53'

[ThomasPade]

Dear Entsoe-py community,

I'm really happy that this entsoe-py client exist. It is really helpful and much faster than entsoe-API. Thank you for that opportunity.
I'm automating right now the observation of outages in the transmission grid of Europe. Therefore I use your client
( client.query_unavailability_transmission(country_code_from, country_code_to, start=start, end=end, docstatus=None, periodstartupdate=None, periodendupdate=None)

What I’ve seen currently is that we have an outage of Britned (cable NL>GB) and I can only find this outage on the Entso-e website : Unavailability in Transmission Grid
When I instead download the actual unavailability’s with entsoe-py client ( client.query_unavailability_transmission(country_code_from, country_code_to, start=start, end=end, docstatus=None, periodstartupdate=None, periodendupdate=None)) then I only get very old outages and not the current one.

It seems that only unplanned outages with Business type'A54' are covered with this client and planned outages 'A53' are not.
Would it be possible for you to complete the query with BSNTYPE '54' and 'A53' for Transmission?

Thank you in advance for your help

Best regards

hi @ThomasPade thank you for you kind words.

for your request, it seems that the package puts A78 for this endpoint

entsoe-py/entsoe/entsoe.py

Line 900 in 34daa30

'documentType': "A78",

I am not sure what exactly that one is.

I think that what you mean would be the endpoints listed under 4.7.x here: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/content/static_content/Static%20content/web%20api/Guide.html

could you please specify which endpoints from there you need? Perhaps I can take a look at it to implement those. You are also always welcome to copy an existing function and adjusting it for the endpoint you want and open a pullrequest.

Good morning fboerman,

thank you for your fast reply. I copied from entsoe API: documentType=A78&businessType=A54
documentType=A78&businessType=A53

https://transparency.entsoe.eu/api?securityToken=TOKEN&documentType=A78&businessType=A54&in_Domain=10YNL----------L&out_Domain=10YGB----------A&periodStart=202101010000&periodEnd=202112310000

https://transparency.entsoe.eu/api?securityToken=TOKEN&documentType=A78&businessType=A53&in_Domain=10YNL----------L&out_Domain=10YGB----------A&periodStart=202101010000&periodEnd=202112310000

Would be very kind from you to implement those. Would you do that?

Best regards

hi @ThomasPade I tried to look at this but I have not much experience with this part of the code.
Could you provide a code sample which does have out put and one that is missing the ones you want?

@JrtPec could you perhaps be of assistance how to solve this as you have more experience with this part?
