Tutorial: Running the model

Note

If you have not done it yet, follow the Installation steps first.

Before getting started with PyPSA-FES it makes sense to be familiar with its general modelling framework PyPSA.

Generally, the model is suitable for laptops, even though at least 16 GB RAM is recommended. The tutorial will cover examples on how to configure and customise the PyPSA-FES model and run the snakemake workflow.

snakemake -call results/octopus_fes/networks/elec_s_ec_lv1.5___LW_2030.nc --configfile config/config.default.yaml

This command will run the model for a single scenario and store the results in results/octopus_fes/networks.

Crucially, this command defines which scenario and year is run. Here, LW refers to Leading the Way, (FS refers to Falling Short) and 2030 defines the modelled year.
