PreREISE

PreREISE is part of a Python software ecosystem developed by Breakthrough Energy Sciences to carry out power flow study in the U.S. electrical grid.

Main Features

PreREISE is dedicated to the building of demand, hydro, solar and wind profiles. A detailed presentation of the data source and algorithms used to generate profiles can be found on our docs.

NOTE

Profiles are publicly available for the Breakthrough Energy Sciences (BES) grid model. Therefore, you don’t need to generate any input data if you use the scenario framework to carry out power flow study.

Where to get it

For now, only the source code is available. Clone or Fork the code here on GitHub.

Dependencies

PreREISE relies on:

• PowerSimData, another package developed by Breakthrough Energy Sciences and available here.
• Several Python packages all available on PyPi whose list can be found in the requirements.txt or Pipfile files both located at the root of this package.

Installation

Clone PowerSimData in a folder adjacent to your clone of PreREISE as the installation of packages depends on files in PowerSimData. Then, use the requirements.txt file (via pip) or Pipfile file (via pipenv) to install third party dependencies.
