Calliope-based 20-region representation of the Italian energy system

Calliope-Italy

Calliope-based 20-region representation of the Italian electric energy system, including both current and 2050 technological options. The model also features the possibility to generate spatially-explicit practically-optimal results (SPORES).

Requirements

The model is built on the Python-based open-source energy modelling framework Calliope, version 0.6.4.

To run the model, it is recommended to follow the instructions for installing Calliope.

Overview

All input data are and model specification are in the Model folder. In particular, timeseries data are in the 'timeseries_data' sub-folder, whilst location and tech specifications are the 'model_config' sub-folder.

To run the model over a week of data for testing:

• select the 'subset_time' of interest in the model.yaml file
• run the spores_model_run.py file
