Data Inspection#

Whereas various options of inspection are provided by the pandas package, some more powerplant-specific methods are applicable via an accessor ‘powerplant’. It gives you a convenient way to inspect, manipulate the data:

Of course the pandas functions are also very convenient:

[7]:
print('Total capacity of GEO is: \n  {} MW \n'.format(geo.Capacity.sum()));
print('The technology types are: \n {} '.format(geo.Technology.unique()))
Total capacity of GEO is:
  621580.8665191324 MW

The technology types are:
 ['CCGT' 'Steam Turbine' nan 'OCGT' 'Reservoir' 'Run-Of-River'
 'Pumped Storage' 'PV' 'CSP']

Incomplete data#

All open databases are so far not complete and cover only a part of overall European powerplants. We perceive the capacity gaps looking at the ENTSOE SO&AF Statistics.

[8]:
stats = pm.data.Capacity_stats()
[9]:
pm.plot.fueltype_totals_bar([geo, entsoe, stats], keys=["ENTSOE", "GEO", 'Statistics']);
_images/example_16_0.png

The gaps for both datasets are unmistakable. Adding both datasets on top of each other would not be a solution, since the intersections of both sources are two high, and the resulting dataset would include many duplicates. A better approach is to merge the incomplete datasets together, respecting intersections and differences of each dataset.

Merging datasets#

Before comparing two lists of power plants, we need to make sure that the data sets are on the same level of aggregation. That is, we ensure that all power plant blocks are aggregated to power plant stations.

[10]:
dfs = [geo.powerplant.aggregate_units(), entsoe.powerplant.aggregate_units()]
intersection = pm.matching.combine_multiple_datasets(dfs)

The result of the matching process is a multi-indexed dataframe. To bring the matched dataframe into a convenient format, we combine the information of the two sources.

As you can see in the very last column, we can track which original data entries flew into the resulting one.

We can have a look into the Capacity statistics.

The aggregated capacities roughly match the SO&AF for all conventional powerplants.

powerplantmatching comes along with already matched data, this includes data from GEO, ENTSOE, OPSD, CARMA, GPD and ESE (ESE, only if you have followed the instructions).
