Spain canary Islands

[strassburger]

Spain only Mainland (peninsular) and Baleares are connected to the the european net. Data see here: http://ree.es/en/activities/realtime-demand-and-generation

Canary Islands nets: http://ree.es/en/activities/canary-islands-electricity-system/canary-electricity-demand-in-real-time

data example: of El Hierro https://demanda.ree.es/movil/canarias/el_hierro/tablas/1

sorry tipo: data example: of El Hierro https://demanda.ree.es/movil/canarias/el_hierro/tablas/2

@corradio Can parser use selenium with phantomjs to scrape data?

The website that contains data from Canary Islands and Balearic Islands use a angular application and required execute the javascript in a browser to show data.

[corradio]

Mmh if it works in python it could. I haven't checked the website but before starting we should be sure that we have access to the generation mix in real-time (just to avoid working on something we can't use in the end)

[hectorespert]

We add this pull request 620 to split Spain in electricity subsystems

I started a python package project to scrape data from the REE website. To work it require the phantomjs binary are available in your system path.

[corradio]

Hmm seems like a simple regexp would enable us to extract a JSON from https://demanda.ree.es/WSvisionaMovilesCanariasRest/resources/demandaGeneracionCanarias?callback=angular.callbacks._2&curva=GCANARIA&fecha=2017-07-12 Wouldn't that be sufficient? It would definitely be better than run a full phantomjs binary.

[hectorespert]

It's a better solution than phantomjs. I study it.

Thank you for your work. Please check if it is possible to integrate "El Hierro" at his own. They have a system called "Gorona del Viento" with 100% RE running right now. data example: of El Hierro https://demanda.ree.es/movil/canarias/el_hierro/tablas/2

Canary Islands parser: Pull 662

@strassburger I can get data by island, but I don't know if is possible to split map by island.

[corradio]

@strassburger maybe we should start another issue for this? In order to finish this one, we still need access to the exchanges to the mainland. Do we have access to the data somewhere?

[strassburger]

Sorry, got problems with my english: I understand the question is if the data we can get from other sources then ree.es. The answer to this is: no REE.es is the only source. Only they are acting in the borders of the "ley de transparencia" and are publishing data. "Gorona del Viento" en El Hierro do not publish facts at all

[corradio]

@strassburger what I meant is that we should create another "github issue" (https://github.com/tmrowco/electricitymap/issues/new) in order to coordinate the work to do every island.

Second question: It would be nice to get some data about how much power is imported/exported between the mainland and the islands. Then we can show it on the map too!

[strassburger]

i am afraid this will not help: Without movil but with https and flash player https://demanda.ree.es/visionaCan/VisionaHierro.html

[strassburger]

Think i got it now:

• The see is very deep , that is the problem: No interconnection abroad between mainland and canary island- All islands are are isolated- One exception: "two of which - Lanzarote and Fuerteventura - are interconnected by a submarine link" source: http://ree.es/en/activities/canary-islands-electricity-system/canary-electricity-demand-in-real-time Hope it helps

[corradio]

OK thanks! So I think we can close this issue once the PR is merged, as the canary islands are independent.
