Sector-coupled model for the German energy system in 2019

This repository contains input data for the open-source Python tool eTraGo (electricity Transmission Grid optimization) version 0.10.0.This data will be uploaded to the OpenEnergy Platform which can be accessed by eTraGo. This dataset is an intermediate solution until the data is uploaded.

The published data includes the sector-coupled transmission grid data for the scenario status2019. It was created with the open-source tool powerd-data within the research project PoWerD. All input data sets as well as the code are available under open source licenses.

We thank the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action for funding the research project PoWerD (grant number: 03EI1042C)

The data is stored as a PostgreSQL database in the attached backup file. First, the required schemas and extensions have to be created within the database by running the following SQL statements:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

Afterwards, the data can be restored by using e.g. pgAdmin or via PostgreSQL's pg_restore command (replace HOST,  DATABASE_NAME,  PORT and USER by your settings):

pg_restore --host HOST --port PORT --username USER --no-password --dbname DATABASE_NAME --no-owner --no-privileges --verbose "PoWerD_status2019_v3.backup"
