Capacity Parser

This is a jupyter notebook used for generating JSON representations of historical generation capacity.

It draws from the au_facilities.json geoJSON file (from OpenNEM's dev environment) as well as historical solar PV data from APVI.

Output Files

• Monthly and annual files by region

  Monthly and annual JSON files are generated for each region, as well as for the NEM and for AU.

  Monthly values record the capacity in operation on the last day of the month, and are named monthly.json. Annual values record the capacity in operation on the first day of the financial year and are named annual.json.

  The files are stored in the output folder, under the capacity folder, in a heirarchy that mirrors the structure of the network and copies the structure of the energy/power files on OpenNEM.

• Missing dates file

  A CSV file missing_dates.csv is generated that contains the DUIDs for each facility for each region that has missing dates.

• Unified annual file

  A JSON file unified_annual_capacity.json is generated that contains the capacity in operation on the first day of the financial year for each facility for each region as well as a NEM and AU.

Notes

• Currently the network attribute in the JSON files is capitalised, to mirror the (ad hoc?) convention of the current OpenNEM files.
