Cabo Verde 2023 hourly load dataset and Santiago proxy workflow # Cabo Verde Load Proejct ok guys, this repo is our shared workspae for the Cabo Verde 2023 hourly load datset and the Santiago proxy exercise. ## What this repo does the main goal here is to keep the anlysis easy to follow for the group: - pull the Cabo Verde load series from Electricity Maps - save the raw API responses and validation notes - build a calibirated national series that hits 572.9 GWh exactly - regenrate the Santiago proxy from the calibrated national shape - keep the whole thing re-useable for future coursework ## Important caveats pleease keep these points in mind when we talk about the results: - the raw version of Cabo Verde series in this repo is estimated to 90% accuracy and 80% accurate, not reported. like i said, we wait to see if the governemnt will respond to our email - again, also the Santiago file is proxy, not measured - this is fine for academic coursework and class discusion. the 80% is more than fine - so this is not an officail utility planning dataset ## Main files - `fetch_cape_verde_load.py`: gets the zone info, hourly series, validation, and exports - `calibrate_cape_verde_load.py`: scales the national series to the benchmark total - `CaboVerde_2023_hourly_load_clean.csv`: the clean natonal hourly dataset - `CaboVerde_2023_hourly_load_calibrated.csv`: the benchmark-matched national dataset - `Santiago_2023_proxy_hourly_load_calibrated.csv`: the calibrated Santiago proxy - `CaboVerde_2023_validation.md`: summary of what endpoint worked and what the data meens - `CaboVerde_2023_calibration_method.md`: short method note for the calibrated version ## How to use it if we need to rerun everthing later, the rough flow is: 1. run `fetch_cape_verde_load.py` 2. inspect the validation and zone notes 3. run `calibrate_cape_verde_load.py` 4. use the CSV or XLSX outputs for tables, charts, and writeups ## Group note ok guys, if something looks a bit wierd in the files, check the method notes first becuase they explain what is rea …
