Generate and work with holidays of the BDEW-Calendar for power and gas in Germany
Project description
bdew_datetimes
A collection of utils to work with datetimes and holidays in the German energy market and is based on the python-holiday package.
The implementation considers the publications of the BDEW (Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e. V.) and EDI@Energy, which provide boundaries and guidance for the data exchange on the german energy market.
Current highlights:
- BDEW-holiday calendar
- allows dict like evaluation of dates and datetimes and contains all holidays considered by the BDEW
- Statutory Periods ("Gesetzliche Fristen")
- calculate dates of the kind "x Werktage ab Stichtag"
- calculate dates of the kind "nter Werktag des Fristen- bzw. Liefermonats"
- Gas-Day / Market Day evaluation
Future Scope:
- providing subdivision holiday calendars to allow granular load profiles
Quick Start and Examples
Install the package from pypi:
pip install bdew-datetimes
Check if a date is a specific BDEW Holidays
The HolidaySum
returned by create_bdew_calendar
contains the BDEW specific holidays.
This means it contains those holidays which are defined by BDEW which includes Heiligabend and Silvester as well as special days without Marktkommunikation but not the local or nationwide holidays in Germany and its states.
from datetime import date
from bdew_datetimes import create_bdew_calendar
bdew_holidays = create_bdew_calendar() # this behaves like a dict
assert date(2022, 12, 31) in bdew_holidays # Silvester is a BDEW holiday
assert date(2022, 8, 8) in bdew_holidays is False # Augsburger Friedensfest is _not_ a BDEW holiday (but a holiday in Augsburg only)
assert date(2022, 12, 2) in bdew_holidays is False # The 12th of February is not a BDEW holiday
print(bdew_holidays.get('2022-01-01')) # prints "Neujahr"
The union (type HolidaySum
) of both nation and state wide holidays and the BDEW holidays (only the latter is returned by create_bdew_calendar
) is the relevant calendar for German utilities.
Check if a given Date is a BDEW Working Day
BDEW working days are those days taken into account for the "Fristenberechnung".
The function is_bdew_working_day
considers both national and state wide holidays as well as BDEW holidays:
from datetime import date
from bdew_datetimes.periods import is_bdew_working_day
assert is_bdew_working_day(date(2023, 1, 1)) is False # Neujahr (national holiday)
assert is_bdew_working_day(date(2023, 1, 2)) is True # regular weekday
assert is_bdew_working_day(date(2023, 1, 6)) is False # Heilige Drei Könige (local holiday in parts of Germany)
assert is_bdew_working_day(date(2023, 4, 7)) is False # Karfreitag (national holiday, but based on an astronomical calendar)
assert is_bdew_working_day(date(2023, 12, 24)) is False # Heiligabend (BDEW holiday)
You can also get the next or previous working day for any date:
from datetime import date
from bdew_datetimes.periods import get_next_working_day, get_previous_working_day
assert get_next_working_day(date(2023, 1, 1)) == date(2023, 1, 2) # the next working day after Neujahr
assert get_previous_working_day(date(2023, 1, 1)) == date(2022, 12, 30) # the last working day of 2022
assert get_next_working_day(date(2023, 1, 20)) == date(2023, 1, 23) # the next working day after a friday is the next monday
Calculate Statutory Periods
Statutory periods define the maximum time between e.g. the EDIFACT message for the "Anmeldung" and the actual start of supply ("Lieferbeginn").
from datetime import date
from bdew_datetimes.periods import DayType, EndDateType, Period, add_frist
# Eingang der Anmeldung des LFN erfolgt am 04.07.2016. Der Mindestzeitraum von zehn WT
# beginnt am 05.07.2016 und endet am 18.07.2016. Frühestes zulässiges Anmeldedatum
# ist damit der 19.07.2016, sodass die Marktlokation dem LFN frühestens zum Beginn
# des vorgenannten Tages zugeordnet wird.
eingang_der_anmeldung = date(2016, 7, 4)
gesetzliche_frist = Period(
10,
DayType.WORKING_DAY,
end_date_type=EndDateType.EXCLUSIVE
# lieferbeginn is the exclusive end of the previous supply contract
)
fruehest_moeglicher_lieferbeginn = add_frist(eingang_der_anmeldung, gesetzliche_frist)
assert fruehest_moeglicher_lieferbeginn == date(2016, 7, 19)
Calculate "Liefer- and Fristenmonate"
Liefer- and Fristenmonat are concepts used in MaBiS and GPKE:
from datetime import date
from bdew_datetimes.periods import get_nth_working_day_of_month, MonthType
# returns the 18th working day of the current month in Germany
get_nth_working_day_of_month(18)
# the 18th working day of November 2023
assert get_nth_working_day_of_month(18, start=date(2023, 11, 1)) == date(2023, 11, 28)
# the 42th working day of Fristenmonat July 2023
assert get_nth_working_day_of_month(42, month_type=MonthType.FRISTENMONAT, start=date(2023, 7, 1)) == date(2023, 9, 29)
Notes
The BDEW considers all days as holidays, which are nationwide holidays and days, which are a holiday in at least one state. Furthermore, the 24. and the 31. December are holidays as well. Therefore, this package utilizes the composition of all available german holiday calendars and adds the two additional days.
Shifting holidays to the next weekday if they fall on a weekend is currently not considered.
