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.

Install cerf

NOTE: cerf is not officially supported for Ubuntu 18 users due to a system dependency (GLIBC_2.29) required by the whitebox package which cerf uses to conduct spatial analysis. Ubuntu 18 natively includes GLIBC_2.27. It may be possible for Ubuntu 18 users to upgrade to GLIBC_2.29 but this should be done with careful consideration. Instead, we officially support cerf use for Ubuntu users for versions 20.04.2 LTS and greater.
