PyPSA-server allows you to run live online custom optimisations for a sector-coupled model of the European energy system, PyPSA-Eur-Sec. You can, for example, explore different scenarios to reach net-zero carbon dioxide emissions across electricity, heating, transport and industry.
You can find a live version at:
https://model.energy/scenarios/
PyPSA-server has only been tested on the Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux.
Ubuntu packages:
sudo apt install redis-server zip
To install, we recommend using miniconda in combination with mamba.
conda install -c conda-forge mamba
mamba env create -f environment.yaml
For (optional) server deployment:
sudo apt install nginx
mamba install gunicorn
Download and unpack the required data bundle (around 100 MB), derived from PyPSA-Eur-Sec.
wget https://model.energy/scenarios/static/pypsa-server-data-bundle-220226.zip
unzip pypsa-server-data-bundle-220226.zip
To run locally you need to start the Python Flask server in one terminal, and redis in another:
Start the Flask server in one terminal with:
python server.py
This will serve to local address:
In the second terminal start Redis:
rq worker pypsa
where pypsa is the name of the queue. No jobs will be solved until
this is run. You can run multiple workers to process jobs in parallel.
Use nginx, gunicorn for the Python server, rq, and manage with supervisor.
