An open-source geospatial Python package for assessing and analyzing future electricity technology capacity expansion feasibility
Project description
cerf
cerf
is an open-source geospatial Python package for evaluating and analyzing future electricity technology capacity expansion feasibility.
Purpose
cerf
was created to:
-
Evaluate the feasibility of a future scenario-driven electricity technology capacity expansion plan as generated by a parent model,
-
Site power plants in the least cost configuration when considering regional economics an on-the-ground barriers to siting,
-
Assist planners and modelers of alternate future realizations of the electricity system to gain an understanding of how siting costs and service area congestion may respond under certain stressors.
