The following README gives you a brief overview about deflex. Read the full
`documentation `_ for all
information.

Installation
------------

To run `deflex` you have to install the Python package and a solver:

* deflex is available on `PyPi `_ and can be
  installed using ``pip install deflex``.
* an LP-solver is needed such as CBC (default), GLPK, Gurobi*, Cplex*
* for some extra functions additional packages and are needed

\* Proprietary solver


Examples
--------

1. Run ``pip install deflex[example]`` to get all dependencies.
2. Create a local directory (e.g. /home/user/deflex_examples).
3. Browse the `examples `_ for deflex v0.4.x or
   download all examples as `zip file `_ and copy/extract them to your local directory.
4. Read the comments of each example, execute it and modify it to your needs.
   Do not forget to set a local path in the examples if needed.
5. In parallel you should read the ``usage guide`` of the documentation to get
   the full picture.

The example scripts will download the example scenarios to the $HOME/deflex
folder. It is also possible to browse the
`example scenarios `_.

**Figure 3:** The resulting system costs of deflex have been compared with the
day-ahead prices from the Entso-e downloaded from `Open Power System Data
`_. The plot shows three different periods
of the year.

**Figure 4:** It is also possible to get a time series of the average emissions. Furthermore,
it shows the emissions of the most expensive power plant which would be
replaced by an additional feed-in.

**Figure 5:** The following plot shows fraction of the time on which the utilisation of the
power lines between the regions is more than 90% of its maximum capacity:
