abstract: >
  PyPSA-China (PIK) is an open-source model of the Chinese energy system
  covering electricity and heat. It co-optimizes dispatch and investments
  under user-set constraints, such as limits to environmental impacts, to
  minimize costs. The model works at provincial resolution and can simulate
  a full year at hourly resolution. This is the PIK implementation, adapted
  for coupling with the REMIND integrated assessment model.
