dave-core 1.3.0

DAVE is a tool for automatic energy grid generation

DAVE_core

DAVE is an softwaretool for a automatic generation of region-specific energy grid models. The resulting grid models are based on open data from different sources.

This code ist based on and explained in the following publicationat :

• Banze, T., Kneiske, T.M. Open data for energy networks: introducing DAVE—a data fusion tool for automated network generation. Sci Rep 14, 1938 (2024).

More on DAVE is published on the webside http://databutler.energy

Installation

pip install dave_core

You can also install the in-development version with:

pip install https://github.com/DaveFoss/DAVE_core/archive/main.zip

Documentation

Development

To run all the tests run:

tox

Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:

Windows	set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox
Other	PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox
