Austrian OSM Base Network for PyPSA-AT

This dataset contains a topologically connected representation of the European high-voltage grid (220 kV to 750 kV) plus the Austrian mid-voltage grid (65 kV to 220 kV) constructed using OpenStreetMap data. Input data was retrieved using the Overpass turbo API (https://overpass-turbo.eu). A heurisitic cleaning process was used to for lines and links where electrical parameters are incomplete, missing, or ambiguous. Close substations within a radius of 500 m are aggregated to single buses, exact locations of underlying substations is preserved. Unique identifiers for lines and links are preserved, e.g. an AC line/cable with the ID way/83742802-1 can be viewed on OpenStreetMap using the query https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/83742802. A DC line/cable with the ID relation/15781671 can be accessed using the query https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/15781671

The resulting dataset was filtered to contain only mid-level voltage Buses and Lines completely inside Austria.  

Usage

Enabling voltage levels below 220kV requires setting

electricity.voltages += 110data.osm.source: archivedata.osm.source.version: v0.1-at

in the configuration file. Additionally, one must append a new line to data/versions.csv
