Transport_road module functionality as compared to sector-coupled euro-calliope

[FraSanvit]

Current status of the transport module

EC and SCEC transport bits are quite different since the pre-sprint (Zurich) version had no non-electrified road transport.

What it does:

• Data-wise
  • Produce uncontrolled-electrified-road-transport demand [energy units]
  • Produce uncontrolled-road-transport-historic-electrification demand [energy units]
  • Produce electrified-transport demand [energy units]
• Model-wise
  • Nothing

What it doesn’t do:

• Data-wise
  • Produce:
    • annual_road_transport_distance_demand[vkm]
    • annual_road_transport_vehicles[number]
    • annual_road_transport_efficiency[MWh/vkm]
    • annual_rail_transport_energy_demand [energy]
    • annual_air_transport_energy_demand[energy]
    • annual_marine_transport_energy_demand[energy]
    • annual_road_transport_bau_electricity[energy] – used to compile the annual-demand-{projection_year}.csv file
    • annual_rail_transport_bau_electricity[energy] – used to compile the annual-demand-{projection_year}.csv file
      All the files rely on some pre-processing that can be found in notebooks/auxiliary_data_processing/process_jrc_idees.ipynb
  • Produce electrified public transport profiles to be summed up to the base electricity demand. SCEC uses inputs from DESSTiNEE for rail profiles.
  • Produce:
    • Plug-in timeseries (starting from RAMP-mobility input) reflecting the monthly constraint
    • Demand-(max, equal, min) - monthly constraints
• Model-wise
  • Produce:
    • Aviation (kerosene) and Shipping (diesel ) annual fuel constraints in fuel_group_constraints_{year}.yaml
    • The energy_cap_max_time_varying constraint for EVs (file=plugin-ev.csv)
    • vehicle_group_constraints_{year}.yamlthat includes:
    • Country and vehicle-specific efficiencies
    • Total driven distance demand per country [vkm]
    • monthly_transport_demand_range constraint
    • transport-tech.yaml

Thank you for this @FraSanvit !

It seems like we have plenty to fix here, unfortunately.
But this allows us to know how to move forward.
