This repository constains energy system scenarios for Ireland meeting decarbonisation targets for 2030 and 2050 using the TIMES-Ireland Model (TIM).
Various tools can be used to explore the scenarios in this data package. These include a dedicated web app, pyam package, Friendly data and spreadsheet software (e.g. MS Excel).
The TIM Carbon Budgets 2021 Web App visualises most of the scenarios included in this data package. Up to two scenarios can be selected for comparisson and the difference can be computed. In addition to the scenario results visualisation, TIM documentation and scenario description can be found there.
pyam provides a suite of tools and functions that can be used to analyse and visualise scenario data included in this data package. A brief pyam-tutorial is included in this repository (many thanks to @danielhuppmann for contributing) and the rendered version can be accessed here.
Friendly data allows easy conversion of a frictionless data package to standard Python data structures e.g., pandas DataFrame. For instance the following code snippet can be used to convert the data package to a list of pandas DataFrame (many thanks to @suvayu for providing an example):
from friendly_data.dpkg import read_pkg
from friendly_data.converters import to_df
pkg = read_pkg("datapackage.json")
dfs = [to_df(r) for r in pkg.resources] # data package as a list of pandas.DataFrame
