Pydemand
=====
Pydemand is a energy demand estimation Python library.
Right now, it is in an infant state, only retrieving country-scale electricity
demand data estimated for 2020 in Long term load projection in high resolution for all countries globally
_.
.. _Long term load projection in high resolution for all countries globally: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0142061518336196/
!! While these methods are scalable, they do not guarantee accurate results !!
We refer to the linked paper for a discussion of what to consider before using the data.

Installation
=====
The library can be install via pip
from pypi
.. code:: shell
pip install pydemand
=====
What is next?
=====
This package is a work in progress. We plan to
-
Retrieve an electricity demand estimation for any passed geospatial polygon
based on statistical models, trained on the existing data.
-
Add estimations of heat demand profiles to the package, which are also
retrievable by polygon.
