vresutils Package

collects various small helpers, which make your programming life easier (or arguably harder, as long you still have to figure out, how to use them).

Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to provide any support for this library. Feel inspired, file bug reports for broken bits or better yet pull requests, but please do not ask for help, sorry!

Configuration

A simple configuration file ~/.vresutils.config allows to configure several data related paths:

# data directory
data_dir = "<path to data discussed in the data section>"

# caching (functions decorated with @cachable persist their results in some directory)
cache_dir = "<path to writable empty directory>"

# entsoetransparency url (fill in the blanks from [13])
entsoeftp = 'ftp://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/export/export/'

The reatlas module expects a configuration file ~/.reatlas.config:

hostname = '<hostname with a running Aarhus Renewable Energy Atlas server>'
username = '<username>'
password = '<password>'
notify = False

Required data

Expected to be found below the data sub-directory.

landuse

Natura2000/Natura2000_end2016.* :

time_series_60min_singleindex_filtered.csv :
    Load data for European countries from the OPSD Time series
    data package [17].  (Using filters to include only `load` of
    full countries, i.e. `DE` but not `DE hertz` and the time

    The encoding of the CSV on their page is originally compatible to
    CP850 and has to be reencoded to UTF-8 (using recode f.ex.).

global_energy_observatory_power_plants.sqlite :
    An sqlite dump of the http://globalenergyobservatory.org/ page
    scraped using [8].

nrg_113a.xls :
    Extracted Eurostat dataset of the Electrical backup capacity per
