AI for Coding Exercise: UK Carbon Intensity Visualization

Overview

This exercise will help you practice using AI coding assistants to build a data visualization application. You'll create an interactive plot that displays carbon intensity data from the UK's national grid.

Exercise Goal

Build a python application that interactively plots regional Carbon Intensity data, from the UK Carbon Intensity API, onto a map of the UK.

API Information

Base URL: https://api.carbonintensity.org.uk/

Useful Endpoints:

  • Current intensity: /intensity
  • Intensity for date range: /intensity/{from}/{to}
  • Regional data: /regional
  • Generation mix: /generation

Documentation: https://carbon-intensity.github.io/api-definitions/

Getting Started

  1. Choose your preferred programming framework, you could use libraries like:

    • requests
    • matplotlib
    • plotly
    • streamlit

  2. Set up your development environment

  3. Use your AI coding assistant to help you:

    • Understand the API structure
    • Write code to fetch data
    • Create visualizations
    • Debug issues
    • Add interactivity

Possible Features to Implement

  • Basic: Display current carbon intensity
  • Intermediate: Show intensity over time with a line chart
  • Advanced: Compare regional differences, show generation mix, add forecasting
