Project description

PyPI version Conda version Documentation Status Build status standard-readme compliant GPL-3-or-later-image reuse Code style: black pre-commit.ci status

Atlite is a free software, xarray-based Python library for converting weather data (like wind speeds, solar influx) into energy systems data. It has a lightweight design and works with big weather datasets while keeping the resource requirements especially on CPU and RAM resources low.

Atlite can process the following weather data fields and can convert them into following power-system relevant time series for any subsets of a full weather database.
