About

PyPSA-animation is a tool to convert results from the energy system simulation tool Python for Power System Analysis <https://github.com/PyPSA/PyPSA>_ to interactive web animations.

PyPSA-animation is built primarily in JavaScript <https://www.javascript.com/>_ using the library D3.js <https://d3js.org/>_.

It is released as free software <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html>_ under the AGPL <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html>_.

How to use it

First you have to convert your PyPSA network scenarios into folders of JSON data files. For this, use the script export_network.py, adjusting path names for your own scenarios (the current example uses the data from PyPSA-Eur-30 <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.804337>_).

Then adjust the parameters in network.js and index.html appropriately.
