The State of Goa energy system model

Figure 1. State of Goa-model development methodology

This repository presents an open-source energy model explicitly developed for the State of Goa (India). The energy model consists of several sectors, such as building (residential + commercial), cooking, industry, agriculture, fisheries, and transport. This energy system model was developed to be used with OSeMOSYS-pulp ¹.

Input data

The input data is a *.xlsx file located in:

./model/Input_Data/

The input data contains all the parameters necessary to run the optimization. The documentation regarding the parameters is similar to that found in the original version OSeMOSYS-GNU ².

Model file

The model file represents an enhanced version of OSeMOSYS pulp. Notable improvements have been implemented to accelerate optimization in terms of matrix generation time and post-processing. This updated version now stands on par with the short version of OSeMOSYS-GNU, showcasing the continuous evolution and refinement of the model. The model file can be found at:

./model/OSeMOSYS.py/

Other dependencies and functions are located in:

./model/utils/

Run the model

Creating a new environment and installing libraries such as pulp is advisable.

conda create --name pulp python=3.8

Activate the new environment to use it

conda activate pulp

Run the following code, and to use other solvers, type instead of, Cplex, gurobi, or CBC. The result file is a *.csv file saved in the path ./Output_Data/GOA_COMPLETE_updated_results.csv

python OSeMOSYS.py -i GOA_COMPLETE_updated.xlsx -s cplex -o csv

Visualize results

In this version of the model, a Python notebook is provided to visualize the results. The notebook is located in the following path:

./scripts/visualizarion_csv_Goa.ipynb
