Network files and Python code used in "Designing a sector-coupled European energy system robust to 60 years of historical weather data"

This repository contains the resulting networks (.nc) and derived metrics (.csv) files from (1) a join capacity and dispatch optimization with 62 different weather years (design years) from 1960 to 2021 as input, and (2) a dispatch optimization of the 62 capacity layouts using weather years (operational years) different from the design year. All results from (1) are found in "Capacity_optimization.zip" and results from (2) are found in "Dispatch_optimization.zip".

We also provide the Python code used to derive the metrics and to create the visualizations included in the paper. This is located in "Jupyter_notebooks". The Jupyter notebooks refer to Python scripts located here: https://github.com/ebbekyhl/multi-weather-year-assessment
