Classes

Topology

Container for all grid topology data of a single MV grid.

class edisgo.network.topology.Topology(**kwargs)

Container for all grid topology data of a single MV grid.

Data may as well include grid topology data of underlying LV grids.

Parameters:

config (None or Config) – Provide your configurations if you want to load self-provided equipment data. Path to csv files containing the technical data is set in config_system.cfg in sections system_dirs and equipment. The default is None in which case the equipment data provided by eDisGo is used.

property loads_df

Dataframe with all loads in MV network and underlying LV grids.

Parameters:

df (pandas.DataFrame) –

Dataframe with all loads (incl. charging points, heat pumps, etc.) in MV network and underlying LV grids. Index of the dataframe are load names as string. Columns of the dataframe are:

busstr

Identifier of bus load is connected to.

p_setfloat

Peak load or nominal capacity in MW.

typestr

Type of load, e.g. ‘conventional_load’, ‘charging_point’ or ‘heat_pump’ (resistive heaters are as well treated as heat pumps with a COP smaller than 1). This information is for example currently necessary when setting up a worst case analysis, as different types of loads are treated differently.

sectorstr

Further specifies type of load.

In case of conventional loads this attribute is used if demandlib is used to generate sector-specific time series (see function predefined_conventional_loads_by_sector). It is further used when new generators are integrated into the grid in case the LV is not geo-referenced, as e.g. smaller PV rooftop generators are most likely to be located in a household (see function connect_to_lv). The sector needs to either be ‘industrial’, ‘residential’ or ‘cts’.

In case of charging points this attribute is used to define the charging point use case (‘home’, ‘work’, ‘public’ or ‘hpc’) to determine whether a charging process can be flexibilised, as it is assumed that only charging processes at private charging points (‘home’ and ‘work’) can be flexibilised (see function charging_strategy). It is further used when charging points are integrated into the grid, as e.g. ‘home’ charging points are allocated to a household (see function connect_to_lv).

In case of heat pumps it is used when heat pumps are integrated into the grid, as e.g. heat pumps for individual heating are allocated to an existing load (see function connect_to_lv). It is further used to specify, if component is a resistive heater, as resistive heaters are treated as heat pumps. The sector needs to either be ‘individual_heating’, ‘district_heating’, ‘individual_heating_resistive_heater’ or ‘district_heating_resistive_heater’.

building_idint

ID of the building the load is associated with. This is e.g. used to get electricity and heat demand time series as well as information on existing heat pumps and PV rooftop plants for scenarios developed in the eGo^n research project.

annual_consumptionfloat

Annual consumption in MWh.

connect_to_mv(edisgo_object, comp_data, comp_type='generator')

Add and connect new component.

Currently, components can be generators, charging points, heat pumps and storage units.

This function creates a new bus the new component is connected to. The new bus is then connected to the grid depending on the specified voltage level (given in comp_data parameter). Components of voltage level 4 are connected to the HV/MV station. Components of voltage level 5 are connected to the nearest MV bus or line. In case the component is connected to a line, the line is split at the point closest to the new component (using perpendicular projection) and a new branch tee is added to connect the new component to.

Parameters:

• edisgo_object (EDisGo) –

• comp_data (dict) – Dictionary with all information on component. The dictionary must contain all required arguments of method add_generator, add_storage_unit respectively add_load, except the bus that is assigned in this function, and may contain all other parameters of those methods. Additionally, the dictionary must contain the voltage level to connect in key ‘voltage_level’ and the geolocation in key ‘geom’. The voltage level must be provided as integer, with possible options being 4 (component is connected directly to the HV/MV station) or 5 (component is connected somewhere in the MV grid). The geolocation must be provided as Shapely Point object.

Add and connect new component to LV grid topology.

This function is used in case the LV grids are not geo-referenced. In case LV grids are geo-referenced function connect_to_lv_based_on_geolocation is used.

Currently, components can be generators, charging points, heat pumps and storage units.

This function connects the new component depending on the voltage level, and information on the MV/LV substation ID, geometry and sector, all provided in the comp_data parameter. It connects

• Components with specified voltage level 6

  • to MV/LV substation (a new bus is created for the new component, unless no geometry data is available, in which case the new component is connected directly to the substation)

• Generators and storage units with specified voltage level 7

  • with a nominal capacity of <=30 kW to LV loads of sector residential, if available

  • with a nominal capacity of >30 kW to LV loads of sector cts, industrial or agricultural, if available

  • to random bus in the LV grid as fallback if no appropriate load is available

• Charging points with specified voltage level 7

  • with sector ‘home’ to LV loads of sector residential, if available

  • with sector ‘work’ to LV loads of sector cts, industrial or agricultural, if available, otherwise

  • with sector ‘district_heating’ or ‘district_heating_resistive_heater’ to some bus in the grid that is not a house connection

  • to random bus in the LV grid that if no appropriate load is available (fallback)

In case no MV/LV substation ID is provided a random LV grid is chosen. In case the provided MV/LV substation ID does not exist (i.e. in case of components in an aggregated load area), the new component is directly connected to the HV/MV station (will be changed once generators in aggregated areas are treated differently in ding0).

The number of components of the same type connected at one load is restricted by the parameter allowed_number_of_comp_per_bus. If every possible load already has more than the allowed number then the new component is directly connected to the MV/LV substation.

Parameters:

• edisgo_object (EDisGo) –

• comp_data (dict) – Dictionary with all information on component. The dictionary must contain all required arguments of method add_generator respectively add_load, except the bus that is assigned in this function, and may contain all other parameters of those methods. Additionally, the dictionary must contain the voltage level to connect in key ‘voltage_level’ and may contain the geolocation in key ‘geom’ and the LV grid ID to connect the component in key ‘mvlv_subst_id’. The voltage level must be provided as integer, with possible options being 6 (component is connected directly to the MV/LV substation) or 7 (component is connected somewhere in the LV grid). The geolocation must be provided as Shapely Point object and the LV grid ID as integer.

• comp_type (str) – Type of added component. Can be ‘generator’, ‘charging_point’ or ‘heat_pump’. Default: ‘generator’.

This function is used in case the LV grids are geo-referenced. In case LV grids are not geo-referenced function connect_to_lv is used.

Currently, components can be generators, charging points, heat pumps and storage units.

In case the component is integrated in voltage level 6 it is connected to the closest MV/LV substation; in case it is integrated in voltage level 7 it is connected to the closest LV bus. In contrast to the connection of components to the MV level splitting of a line to connect a new component is not conducted.

A new bus for the new component is only created in case the closest existing bus is farther away than what is specified through parameter max_distance_from_target_bus. Otherwise, the new component is directly connected to the nearest bus.
