Code database containing the scripts used for case study generation, demand modelling and optimisation of modular mini-grids for a research project into the feasibility of modular mini-grid use in rural Tanzania. # IRP-code Code database containing the scripts used for case study generation, demand modelling and optimisation of modular mini-grids for a research project into the feasibility of modular mini-grid use in rural Tanzania. The scripts are organised as follows: \01_CASE_STUDY_GENERATION 01: filter the NPS data and create master database 02: script to carry out regression study on socio-economic parameters 03: attributes household counts to case studies based on TPHC data 04: tags businesses in the NPS with business types from RLI-PSN via searching through descriptions in NPS 05: generates the households and enterprises in each case studies 06: attributes public services to case studies \02_APPLIANCE_OWNERSHIP 07: matches enterprises in case studies to RLI-PSN records and assigns appliance ownership 08: matches households in case studies to NPS records and assigns appliance ownership 09: assigns appliance ownership profiles to public services \03_DEMAND_PROFILES 10: uses stochastic elements to assign ratings, durations, windows and switch on/off times to every appliance and builds demand profile 11: carries out validation via comparison to El Espino dataset \04_HOMER_PRO_AUTOMATION 12: uses pyautogui to automate the running of 100 HOMER Pro simulations images are references to allow correct buttons to be clicked \05_MODULAR_OPTIMISATION 13: carries out the optimisation process to identify the most cost effective modular configuration based on a cap on modules per hamlet 14: carries out the sensitvity study to validate the optimisation
