process_re_potential

Inputs

input_dirstr

results/_resources/RE_potential/: Path to input directory of renewable potential

output_scalarsstr

results/_resources/scal_power_potential_wind_pv.csv: Path incl. file name of scalar output, which is input to energy system model

output_tablesstr

results/_tables/potential_wind_pv_kreise.csv: Path incl. file name of output for results documentation

Outputs

pd.DataFrame

Power potential for “Landkreise” and total values for Brandenburg in output_scalars in format as required by scalars template

pd.DataFrame

Power and area potential for “Landkreise” and aggregated values for Brandenburg in output_tables for results documentation: - power potential in GW for wind and pv in columns ‘Leistung Wind [GW]’ and ‘Leistung PV [GW]’ - area potential in km² for wind and pv in columns ‘Fläche Wind [km2]’ and ‘Fläche PV [km2]’

Description

Processes the area and power potential of pv and wind energy resulting from script ‘prepare_re_potential.py’. Formats the power potential of pv and wind energy as input for the energy system model and joins results of both pv and wind.
