The EU Regional Electricity Network#
Note
You can download the data used in this example.
The network presented in this example represents an old snapshot of the European transmission network that includes eighteen countries, 3383 nodes and 5681 transmission lines. A single operational snapshot is used in this example to trace the flow.
Note that the data included in this example is meant for demonstration purposes and is by no means an accurate representation of the network. All the data included in the Assets attributes tab is artificial, and the cost figures are made up figures for testing purposes only.
Running the Example#
To run the case, follow the following commands.
Launch the command prompt (Windows: Win+R, type “cmd”, Enter) or the Anaconda prompt.
Set up the path to where code is located inside the repository cloned file, using the command:
> cd "C:\Users\<username>\...\InfraFair\InfraFair".
Run the model with the following command:
> python InfraFair.py
The model will ask you for the (<dir>) input, click Enter and leave it on the default value.
The model will ask you for the (<case>), enter the following command:
> Input Case Name (Default Examples\Simple_ex\Simple_Example): Examples\EU_ex\EU_Example
The model will ask you for the (<config_file>) input, click Enter and leave it on the default value.
Note
The Assets attributes tab must include all the lines in the flow tab, including duplications.
Once the model finishes execution, the figure below should be displayed in the command or Anaconda prompt.
Results#
The following table shows the cost allocated to countries’ generators (columns) based on their use of other countries’ assets (rows). The diagonal costs reflect the cost that a country has to pay itself according to the use of its own generators. The row “Cost to receive” indicates per country the total cost it should receive due to other countries’ generators using its assets (which is the sum of the country’s row minus the cost it should pay itself). The row “Cost to pay” indicates per country the total cost it should pay due to the use its generators are making of other countries’ assets (which is the sum of the country’s column minus the cost it should pay itself).

The figures below were created from the row results above using Flourish data visualization. They show the ranking of countries based on both their use of other countries’ network and the use that other countries make of their network.
