Overview This update introduces some major new data inputs to PowerGenome. Build demand profiles from the bottom up using future stocks of final energy demand technologies (EVs, heat pumps, water heaters, etc) and hourly demand profiles from NREL's Energy Futures Study. Automate creating flexible demand resources from future stocks and NREL EFS. Use distributed generation profiles from NREL Cambium scenarios, which use an agent-based model to determine rooftop solar deployment. Users can provide the cost for expanding/building inter-regional transmission lines rather than assuming centroid-to-centroid distance and a cost per mile. Use pre-calculated capital costs for CO₂ pipeline infrastructure attached to CCS plants rather than adding a variable cost per ton captured. Note This release is version 0.6.1. Due to an error with releasing the code on PyPi, no official version 0.6.0 was released.
