Getting started

In order to start and run the eGo-tool a few steps needs to be done.

Steps to run eGo

  1. Are you registered on the OpenEnergy Platform? The registration for the public accessible API can be found on openenergy-platform.org/login.

  2. You have Python 3 installed? Install for example the Python distribution of https://www.anaconda.com/download.

  3. Install and use a virtual environment for your installation (optional).

  4. Install the eGo tool pip3 install eGo --process-dependency-links.

  5. Create mid and low voltage distribution grids with ding0. Learn more about Ding0 on https://dingo.readthedocs.io/en/dev/index.html.

  6. Check and prepare your eGo setting in ego/scenario_setting.json. Add your local paths and prepare your parameters.

  7. Start your calculation and run the tool for example under eGo/ego and >>> python3 appl.py . You can also use any other Python Terminal, Jupyter Notebook or Editor.

How to use eGo?

Start and use eGo from the terminal.

>>> python3 appl.py
>>> ...
>>> INFO:ego:Start calculation
>>> ...

Examples

Inside the appl.py

# import the eGo tool
from ego.tools.io import eGo

# Run your scenario
ego = eGo(jsonpath='scenario_setting.json')

# Analyse your results on extra high voltage level (etrago)
ego.etrago_line_loading()
