Validate transmission line topologies - at each voltage level - PyPSA-Earth #5

Hi all,

I have prepared a notebook that compares the base.nc network provided by @davide-f, with the reference EIA network topology for US available at this link. I downloaded the geoJSON file.

The notebook is available at this link.

Please find below the initial graphical comparisons. I plot the networks grouping the lines based on the voltage classes available in the EIA dataset. More details are available in the notebook.

Hi all,

I have extended the aforementioned notebook to include the comparison between the *elec_base_network.nc**, with the reference EIA network topology for US available at this link. I downloaded the geoJSON file.

Please find below the initial graphical comparisons. I plot the networks grouping the lines based on the voltage classes available in the EIA dataset. More details are available in the notebook.

It seems that the PyPSA-Earth base network agrees better with the EIA reference transmission lines topology.
