PyPSA-Eur: A Sector-Coupled Open Optimisation Model of the European Energy System

PyPSA-Eur is an open model dataset of the European energy system at the
transmission network level that covers the full ENTSO-E area and all energy sectors, including transport, heating, biomass, industry, and agriculture.
Besides the power grid, pipeline networks for gas, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and liquid fuels are included.
The model is suitable both for planning studies and operational studies.
The model is built from open data using a Snakemake workflow and fully open source.
It is designed to be imported into the open-source energy system modelling framework PyPSA.

[!NOTE]
PyPSA-Eur has many contributors, with the maintenance currently led by the Department of Digital Transformation in
Energy Systems at the Technical University of
Berlin.
Previous versions were developed at the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology funded by the
Helmholtz Association.

Among many other things, the dataset consists of:

  • A power grid model based on OpenStreetMap for voltage levels above 220kV (optional above 60kV).
  • The open power plant database
    powerplantmatching.
  • Electrical demand time series from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform.
  • Renewable time series based on ERA5 and SARAH-3, assembled using atlite.
  • Geographical potentials for wind and solar generators based land eligibility analysis in atlite.
  • Energy balances compiled from Eurostat and JRC-IDEES datasets.

The high-voltage grid and the power plant fleet are shown in this map of the unclustered model (as of 1 January 2026):

PyPSA-Eur Unclustered

For computational reasons the model is usually clustered down
to 50-250 nodes. The image below shows the electricity network and power plants clustered to NUTS2 regions:

This diagram gives an overview of the sectors and the links between
them within each model region:

Warnings

PyPSA-Eur is under active development and has several
limitations which
you should understand before using the model. The github repository
issues collect known topics we are
working on (please feel free to help or make suggestions). The
documentation remains somewhat patchy. You
can find showcases of the model's capabilities in the Joule paper The potential
role of a hydrogen network in
Europe, another paper in Joule
with a description of the industry
sector, or in a 2021 presentation
at EMP-E. We do not recommend to
use the full resolution network model for simulations. At high granularity the
assignment of loads and generators to the nearest network node may not be a
correct assumption, depending on the topology of the underlying distribution
grid, and local grid bottlenecks may cause unrealistic load-shedding or
generator curtailment. We recommend to cluster the network to a couple of
hundred nodes to remove these local inconsistencies. See the discussion in
Section 3.4 "Model validation" of the paper.
