eTraGo - electric Transmission Grid optimization

eTraGo is a cross-sectoral grid planning tool focusing on the extra-high and high-voltage power grid level. 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 that is largely based on PyPSA.
