Usage

In the script named run_scenarios_and_save_results.py replace “my_API_KEY” with your API key. You can obtain your API key from here (no cost).

• There are two options, both of which run using examples in run_scenarios_and_save_results.py
  1. Write to a csv using a template with column headers for desired summary keys (scalar values only)
  2. Write all inputs, outputs, and dispatch to an Excel spreadsheet
• Both options use the same input file (defined in run_scenarios_and_save_results.py)
  • the default input file is in inputs/scenarios.csv
• Option (a) uses a results template.
  • the default csv template is in outputs/results_template.csv;
    • TODO: the “0” row has all available inputs, which one can duplicate to create a new desired scenario (one per row)
  • outputs/results_template.csv can be modified with the desired output keys placed in the first row
    • Note that some output keys are redundant, such as size_kw for PV, Storage, Wind, and Generator; thus you must use the “pipe” symbol to designate a specific technology: PV|size_kw for example
• Option (b) requires an empty Excel spreadsheet template to store the results
