In addition to the electricity sector, the gas (methane and hydrogen), heat and mobility sectors are considered. *eTraGo* optimizes grid and storage expansion as well as power plant deployment, taking into account various flexibility options. These include electrical flexibilities such as demand-side management or dynamic line rating, as well as flexibilities arising from sector coupling, such as heat stores, gas stores or shifting potentials from charging electric vehicles. *eTraGo* is an open-source Python package primarily based on `PyPSA `_. .. figure:: images/etrago_logo.png :align: right :scale: 80% Key Features ------------ * open, cross-sectoral grid planning tool on extra-high and high-voltage level * includes a variety of functionalities for scenario variations and reduction of complexity in spatial and temporal dimension * market optimization as well as linear-optimal power flow available * analyses and plots the results .. note:: eTraGo and its documentation are in continuous development. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 about installation howToUse theoretical_background contributing whatsnew api references Indices and Tables ================== * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex`
