3 years ago I've started on a few of these: Tech opp by month (one summer, one winter), over all counties, by technology package; County mapping - 1) average tech opp by tech package, 2) Tech opp by fuel; Temperature on temporal scale (a heat map showing the temperature difference between solar heat temp and min process heat temp for a single county).
But these were all with the previous tech opp results. I'll need to update with the results from the new runs, clean up and commit the code to the results folder.

Document analysis ideas for technical opportunities and keep track of who's analyzing what.
And, let's get @emasanet involved! 😃
Analyses
Initial analysis ideas pulled out from #14, which has been closed.
[x] (Net) GHG emissions savings
[x] Tech opp by hour, averaged over all counties, by technology package. This might be split up by season, by daytype (weekend, weekday), month, etc. Purpose is to show the hourly variation and indicate where storage may help.
[ ] Temperature. We're assuming that the solar techs are providing the necessary process temperature at all times, which isn't the case. This gap should be explored in some way-- maybe by calculating the % of hours that max process temp is not met? This would require the construction of an aggregate load curve by temperature by county.
[x] County Mapping (national maps)
