Input and Output of the Converter

Input

The converter requires the following inputs:

• PyPSA network object
  The fully defined PyPSA network that will be converted into a GEMS-compatible study.
• Logger
  Used for debugging and tracing the conversion process. Logs can help identify configuration issues or data inconsistencies during conversion.
• Output path
  The directory where the generated GEMS study will be created.
• Time series file format
  Format used for exported time-dependent data (e.g. csv, tsv).

Output

The converter generates a structured GEMS study directory at the provided output path.

The directory layout follows the conventions expected by the GEMS modeler:

study_directory/
└── systems/
    └── system_name/
        └── input/
            ├── optim-config.yml   -------> Benders decomposition parameters, used by the modeler to generate MPS files
