Copper Sushi 🍣

A Power System Analysis and Visualisation Tool

A simple Plotly/Dash web app for visualising power flow optimisation solutions from pypsa-eur.

The web app is deployed here, along with an explanation of the main features.

The pypsa-eur configuration used for the network plotted here can be found in my fork of the pypsa-eur repo: zoltanmaric/pypsa-eur

Local Installation

Installing the dependencies requires Conda, but I recommend installing Mamba (a fully compatible, but better implementation of Conda).

After having installed mamba, just create and activate the Conda environment by running

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate coppersushi

Then you can start the server by running

python app.py

Once the server starts, the web app will be available at http://localhost:8050

Installation on Heroku

After creating the Heroku app, run the following to deploy it:

heroku container:push web
heroku container:release web

(based on https://github.com/heroku-examples/python-miniconda)

Performance Profiling

Run the following to show a snakeviz chart of function call durations in your browser.
