PostREISE is part of a Python software ecosystem developed by Breakthrough Energy Sciences to carry out power flow study in the U.S. electrical grid.

Here are a few things that PostREISE can do:

• Perform transmission congestion/utilization analyses of scenarios
• Study generation/emission in scenarios
• Plot results of analyses
• Web dashboard with previously generated scenario results

A detailed tutorial can be found on our docs.

• Clone or Fork the source code on GitHub
• Get latest release from PyPi: pip install postreise

PostREISE relies on:

• PowerSimData, another package developed by Breakthrough Energy Sciences and available here. You must have PowerSimData cloned in a folder adjacent to your clone of PostREISE as the installation of packages depends on files in PowerSimData.
• Several Python packages all available on PyPi whose list can be found in the requirements.txt or Pipfile files both located at the root of this package.

• Scenario data managed by PowerSimData are used by the analysis and plotting modules of PostREISE. Follow the instructions in the README of the PowerSimData package to install our software ecosystem.
• Web dashboard: Check out the web_dashboard branch and see README in ./web_dashboard
