# DemandRegio

This project aims at setting up both a database and a python toolkit called `disaggregator` for
- temporal and
- spatial disagregation

of demands of
- electricity,
- heat and
- natural gas

of the final energy sectors
- private households,
- commerce, trade & services (CTS) and
- industry.

## Installation

Before we really start, please install `conda` through the latest [Anaconda package](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) or via [miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html). After successfully installing `conda`, open the **Anaconda Powershell Prompt**.
For experts: You can also open a bash shell (Linux) or command prompt (Windows), but then make sure that your local environment variable `PATH` points to your anaconda installation directory.

Now, in the root folder of the project create an environment to work in that will be called `disaggregator` via

```bash
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
```

which installs all required packages. Then activate the environment

```bash
$ conda activate disaggregator
```

## How to start

Once the environment is activated, you can start a Jupyter Notebook from there

```bash
(disaggregator) $ jupyter notebook
```

As soon as the Jupyter Notebook opens in your browser, click on the `01_Demo_data-and-config.ipynb` file to start with a demonstration:

## How does it work?

For each of the three sectors 'private households', 'commerce, trade & services' and 'industry' the spatial and temporal disaggregation is accomplished through application of various functions. These functions take input data from a database and return the desired output as shwon in the diagram. There are four Demo-Notebooks to present these functions and demonstrate their execution.
