Non-road Profiles

This module computes demand profiles for non-road modes of transport.

Module

get_non_road_data

This is the main function of this module. It runs all the functions of this module.

get_Eurostat_balances

This function gets the energy balances from Eurostat via the Eurostat Python Package. This function runs a function from the Eurostat package to get a table, by using the right table code and saving the obatined dataframe. This only runs if the user decides to fetch the database from Eurostat. See the documentation about parameters for more details.

get_reference_year_data

Processes the DataFrame fetched from Eurostat into a DataFrame for the reference year modes, energy carriers we want.

The function runs through each mode (defined here) and gets its values from the Eurostat table obatined here through the get_mode_reference_values function. The function also sets the index and sorts it.

The function also saves the resulting reference historical data.

get_mode_reference_values

This function get historical data from the Eurostat DataFrame for a given mode. We need to translate the energy carrier into SIEC codes and back into carrier names. In between these translations, we slice the source Eurostat year according to the chosen mode and its carriers, the unit we want to use (actually, we slice with TJs, which we convert to PJs), and reference historical year.

get_siec_code

Gets the SIEC (Standard international energy product classification code), for an energy carrier using a translation_file.

get_name_from_siec_code

Gets the name of an energy carrier from its SIEC (Standard international energy product classification code), using a translation_file.

get_future_demand_values

Gets the demand for future years. This function takes the reference values from get_mode_reference_values and multiplies them by a [growth table][#growth_factors_file].

get_non_road_profiles

This function creates the profiles we need. It first [loads the scenarios][#load_scenarios] and then runs the profile getting function for each scenario (see the general explanation about this )

load_scenarios

This loads scenarios into a list so that they can be used to [get profiles][#get_profile].

get_profile

Configuration (non-road.toml)

historical_dataframe_name

The name of the historical data DataFrame.

demand_dataframe_name

The name of the DataFrame that conatins all th edemand data (historical and projected)

source_folder

The folder that contains source/input data for a given case (so it is under that case name's subfolder). The case name subfolder contains the scenarios per mode and year

output_folder

The folder where the output files go (in a case name subfolder).

demand_index

Those are the columns we use for the index of the historical demand DataFrame.

demand_header

This is the name of the header/column of the historical demand DataFrame

reference_historical_year

The year for which we extract the Eurostat data.

growth_factors_file

The name of the file (in source_folder/case_name) containing the growth factors (relative to the reference historical year) for all country/mode/energy carrier combinations in the historical data.

growth_factors_index

The index columns for the growth factor file.

modes

For each mode, you need to provide its code and the energy carriers it uses. Follow the structure of existing elements (see example below), by copying it and replacing the name (in this case international-maritime-bunkers) by the name of your mode and by using the right code and energy carriers.

[modes.international-maritime-bunkers]
code = 'INTMARB'
energy_carriers = [
    'Natural gas',
    'Motor gasoline (excluding biofuel portion)',
    'Kerosene-type jet fuel (excluding biofuel portion)',
    'Gas oil and diesel oil (excluding biofuel portion)',
    'Fuel oil',
    'Lubricants',
    'Other oil products n.e.c.',
    'Blended biodiesels',
    'Pure biodiesels',
    'Other liquid biofuels'

]

progress_bars

Parameters related to displaying progress bars using tqdm.

display_scenario_run

Set to true if you want to show progress bars

scenario_run_description

The text to display together with the progress bars

parallel_processing

Parameters related to parallel processing.

set_amount_of_processes

Set to true if you want to adjust the amount pof processes by hand.

amount_of_processes

The amount of processes if set by hand.

files

files.dataframe_outputs

Indicate below if you want to save your Pandas DataFrames in the listed formats (put a true if you want to do so, false if you don't). This uses the Save DataFrame from the ETS CookBook.

Eurostat

These are parameters for getting data from the Eurostat API, using the Eurostat Python Package

fetch

A boolean to tell the model if it needs to fetch the data from Eurostat. Set it to true if you don't have the data yet or if you want to refresh it. Set it to false if you want to run with already fetch data (for exmaple if you ant to run offline, or if you just got the data).

table_code

The table code for complete energy balances is 'nrg_bal_c'. Other codes can be obtained with eurostat.get_toc_df(). See Eurostat Python Package for details.

table_name

The name you want to use to save your DataFrame and that you will be using for retrieving the Eurostat data.

index_headers

The headers/columns to use as an index (used in the [function getting values per mode][#get_mode_reference_values]).

unit_to_use

The unit to use for the Eurostat data

Energy_carriers

code_file

The location of the file used to translate SIEC (Standard international energy product classification codes).

code_column

The name of the column conmtaining the SIEC codes

name_column

The name of the column conatining energy carriers/products names.

status_column

The column containing the status of that code (if it is still in use , 'it is 'valid').
