eia_trans_dist_grid_loss.py

This module gets state-level EIA data on transmission and distribution grid loss. There are two main functions:

• eia_trans_dist_grid_loss.eia_trans_dist_download_extract: This function (1) downloads EIA state-level electricity profiles for all 50 states in the U.S. for a specified year to the working directory, and (2) calculates the transmission and distribution gross grid loss for each state based on statewide 'estimated losses', 'total disposition', and 'direct use'. The final output from this function is a [50x1] dimensional dataframe that contains transmission and distribution gross grid losses for each U.S. state for the specified year.
• eia_trans_dist_grid_loss.generate_regional_grid_loss: This function generates transmission and distribution losses for the provided generation data and given year, aggregated by subregion
