Functions:

generate_sankey_flows ¤

Processes the Result object to transform and filter flow data for Sankey diagram visualization.

This function takes in a Result object, which contains various data frames and parameters from an energy modeling process, and performs several transformations and aggregations. The goal is to prepare the flow data for use in a Sankey diagram.

Parameters:

  • results ¤

    (Result) –

    A Result object containing dictionaries of data frames for constraints, parameters, objectives, sets, and variables.

  • aggregate_mobility ¤

    (bool) –

    Whether to aggregate mobility flows.

  • aggregate_grid ¤

    (bool) –

    Whether to aggregate grid infrastructure flows.

  • aggregate_technology ¤

    (bool) –

    Whether to aggregate technology flows.

  • aggregate_eud ¤

    (bool) –

    Whether to aggregate end-use demands by type (ELECTRICITY, HEAT, MOBILITY).

  • run_id ¤

    (int) –

    The run ID to filter data.

Returns:

  • DataFrame

    pd.DataFrame: A processed DataFrame with 'source', 'target', and 'value' columns, ready for Sankey diagram visualization.

plot_comparison(

) -> Figure

Plots the parametrization results by visualizing the specified variable for two selected runs using a mirror bar plot.

Parameters:¤

results : Result A Result object containing the processed output data.

str

The name of the variable to be plotted. This should correspond to a column in the 'df_annual' DataFrame stored within the results object.

str

The grouping category for the plot. This should be a column in the 'df_annual' DataFrame, which will be used to group and color the results (e.g., 'Sector', 'Category').

dict, optional

A dictionary of custom labels to use in the plot for axis titles and hover information. Default is an empty dictionary.

int, optional

The first run to compare in the mirror bar plot.

int, optional

The second run to compare in the mirror bar plot.

Returns:¤

go.Figure A Plotly Figure object. This can be displayed using fig.show() or saved to an HTML file using fig.write_html().
