# oemof-B3

oemof-B3 is an energy system model of Berlin and Brandenburg. It represents many sectors:
Electricity, central and decentral heat, hydrogen, CO2 and methane. It is a multi-node-model, which
means that several distinct regions are represented that are connected via transmission lines.

The model is a perfect-foresight, cost minimizing linear optimization model that builds upon
[oemof.solph](https://github.com/oemof/oemof-solph),
[oemof.tabular](https://github.com/oemof/oemof-tabular),
and [oemoflex](https://github.com/rl-institut/oemoflex).

There are six scenarios available, that you can calculate with oemof-B3:
- 2050-80-el_eff
- 2050-80-gas_moreCH4
- 2050-95-el_eff
- 2050-95-gas_moreCH4
- 2050-100-el_eff
- 2050-100-gas_moreCH4

All six refer to the target year 2050. A further distinction is made between an emissions reduction
of 80, 95 or 100 percent. Furthermore, the scenarios differ in their degree of electrification.
Scenarios with the index 'el_eff' represent strongly electrified scenarios, while 'gas_moreCH4'
represent scenarios with increased use of methane.
In the documentation you will find instructions on how to run the scenarios with oemof-B3.

## Getting started

### Installation

Currently, oemof-B3 needs python 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10 (newer versions may be supported, but installation can take very long).

Additionally, you need to install the python dependency manager [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/).
It is recommended to install poetry system-wide via the command below or
[pipx](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx):

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
poetry install

**In order to install oemof-B3, proceed with the following steps:**

1. Clone oemof-B3 into local folder:

git clone [email protected]:rl-institut/oemof-B3.git
2. Enter folder

cd oemof-B3
3. Create virtual environment using conda:

conda env create -f environment.yml
4. Activate environment:

conda activate oemof-B3
5. Install oemof-B3 package using poetry, via:

poetry install

Alternatively, you can create a virtual environment using other approaches, such as `virtualenv`.

To create reports oemof-B3 requires pandoc (version > 2). Pandoc is included in conda environment config (environment.yml).
If environment is build otherwise, pandoc must be installed manually. It can be installed following instructions from [Pandoc Installation](https://pandoc.org/installing.html).

For the optimization, oemof-B3 needs a solver. Check out the [oemof.solph](https://oemof-solph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html#installing-a-solver) documentation for installation notes.

To test if everything works, you can run the [examples](https://oemof-b3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html).

For developers: Please activate pre-commit hooks (via `pre-commit install`) in order to follow our coding styles.

### Data

Download the raw data for the model from zenodo via:

snakemake -j1 download_raw_data

## Contributing

Feedback is welcome. If you notice a bug, please open an
[issue](https://github.com/rl-institut/oemof-B3/issues).

### Build the docs locally

To build the docs locally, you have to install related dependencies via

poetry install -E docs

Afterwards, navigate into the docs directory with

cd docs/

and run

make html

The output will then be located in `docs/_build/html` and can be opened with your favorite browser
