DIETERpy project templates

THIS VERSION IS DEPRECATED

DIETERpy is a python based and open-source software that works as a wrapper for a GAMS optimization electricity market model developed by the research group Transformation of the Energy Economy at DIW Berlin (German Institute of Economic Research). DIETERpy can execute different projects by using templates. The templates contain differents DIETER versions and examples, as well as all the required input data. This repository contains three project templates. Future updates will contain more examples.

The templates are:

1. base: It is a base project folder. It contains DIETERgms version 1.5.1, which includes a new module for hydrogen generation from electricity for mobility, industry, or long-term storage for the power sector. The input data is included in Excel and CSV files and represent future costs, resource availability and technology capacities for Germany by 2030.
2. example1: This template contains a DIETERgms version 1.3.1, which includes modules such as DSM, EV, Prosumage, Heating (electric heating and heat pumps) and Balancing reserve. The example uses the basic module for investment and dispatch of power technologies and storage. This example runs three scenarios that consist of altering the overnight costs of power capacity and energy capacity for Li-Ion batteries.
3. example2: This template contains a DIETERgms version 1.3.1, which includes modules such as DSM, EV, Prosumage, Heating (electric heating and heat pumps) and Balancing reserve. The example uses the basic module for investment and dispatch of power technologies and storage. This example runs four scenarios that consist of altering the minimum share of renewable generation for two interconnected countries, France and Germany.

To use the templates, please install dieterpy and GAMS, the latter requires a valid license.
