Activate pypsa-earth environment:

conda activate pypsa-earth

2. Running validation

This project utilizes snakemake to automate the execution of scripts, ensuring efficient and reproducible workflows. Configuration settings for snakemake are available in the configs/config.main.yaml file.

2.1. Country-level validation

To run country-level validation of the U.S. for the base scenario, navigate to the working directory (.../efuels-supply-potentials/) and use the following command:

snakemake -call validate_all --configfile configs/calibration/config.base.yaml

or base scenario with alternative clustering option (AC):

snakemake -call validate_all --configfile configs/calibration/config.base_AC.yaml

• Note: Ensure that planning_horizon in configs/config.main.yaml corresponds to a horizon of the base scenario. By default, planning_horizon is set to 2020, which means that results are benchmarked agains 2020's historical data.

It is possible to run validation by specifying the output file with wildcards:

snakemake -call plots/results/US_2021/demand_validation_s_10_ec_lcopt_Co2L-24H.png --configfile configs/calibration/config.base.yaml

Validation results are stored in plots/results/ directory under scenario run name (e.g. US_2021).

2.2. State-wise validation

To run state-wise validation, run:

snakemake -call statewise_validate_all --configfile configs/calibration/config.base_AC.yaml

3. Snakemake rules

Rule name	Config file	Description
validate_all	config.base.yaml, config.base_AC.yaml	Performs country-level validation comparing with EIA and Ember data
statewise_validate_all	config.base_AC.yaml	Performs statewise validation comparing with EIA data
get_capacity_factors	Any base or scenario config file	Estimates capacity factors for renewables
retrieve_cutouts	Any base or scenario config file	Retrieves US cutouts from google drive
process_airport_data	-	Performs analysis on passengers and jet fuel consumption data per state and generates plots and table
test_modify_prenetwork	Any base or scenario config file	Example rule that performs modiification of pre-network
