copernicusWeather2psdmWeather

Converts copernicus.eu netCDF4 weather data to PowerSystemDataModel weather data format.

How To Use

Config File

This tool can be used by giving parameters through config file config.yaml.

Here the parameter of the PostGreSql-Database can be assigned:

• db_user: Database username, e.g. postgres
• db_password: Database password of username, e.g. postgres
• db_port: Database port, e.g. 5432
• db_name: Name of the database, westfalia_2023_03_24-2023_03_28
• input_dir: Location of the CDS input files, e.g. input/samples
• file_name_base: First part of the input files, see comment below. e.g. westfalia_2023_03_24-2023_03_28

So far we support the following format of input files:

• netCDF4

To start converter

• Adapt config file
• Setup PostGreSql database
• Start main.py

netCDF4 Input files

Climate Data Store (CDS) provides the weather data in two files, which file names ends on '_accum.nc' and '_instant.nc'. Sample data can be found in input/samples.

File name base

Weather in netCFD format are provided by Copernicus in two files ending with _accum.nc and _instant.nc. This parameter allows to set the file_name_base. E.g. weather_data_accum.nc and weather_data_instant.nc. file_name_base would be weather_data.
