Pyramecium Technology Models

A toolbox to create multi-energy power time series for different technologies in steady-state simulations of cellular energy systems

Installation

Installation is fairly easy:

pip install pyramecium-technology-models

CRS

By default, EPSG:4326 is used.

Get Started

Before being able to create time series, there are a few geo files that have to be obtained first. The files can be converted using the provided conversion scripts:
