This release of the SWITCH-WECC model has improvements developed by the REAM team throughout 2021🎉 🎉 . Here's a list of some of the changes compared to version 1.0.0.

  • Created new tools for the analysis, debugging, and visualization of model results (e.g. switch graph, switch compare, switch drop).
  • Released accelerated workflow and scenario configuration via config.yaml files.
  • Migrated to Python 3, SWITCH 2.0.6 and Pyomo 6.
  • Improved and fixed critical modelling components (see REAM Model Changelog.md).
  • Improved code readability (e.g. replacement of load_inputs() with the inline specification of input files throughout SWITCH).
  • Improved modelling performance (e.g. 14x performance improvements via --recommended-fast).
  • Created new SWITCH modules for enforcing technology capacity minimums (policies/min_per_tech.py) and enforcing wind vs solar capacity buildout constraints (policies/wind_to_solar_ratio.py).
  • Created \docs with 10 new explanatory guides.
  • Allowed for the analysis of locational marginal pricing by expanding support for retrieving and analyzing dual value.
  • Expanded modelling capabilities (e.g. California only model, year-round time sampling, new hydro scenarios, new transmission scenarios, etc.).
  • Created a framework for a safer and better-documented approach to modifying our database (see /database).
  • And more! See the pull request history for more details.
