MESQUAL Area and AreaBorder Accounting¶
MESQUAL Area and Area Border Accounting Package
Tools for transforming node-line topology into area-based models and variables. Supports multi-level aggregation (countries, bidding zones, market regions) and cross-border flow analysis for energy market studies.
Core Components:¶
Model Generators
- Area model creation from node-to-area mappings with geographic visualization
- Border identification from transmission topology with standardized naming
- Network graph generation and geometric analysis for spatial representation
Variable Calculators
- Area variables: Price aggregation (volume-weighted) and sum-based calculations
- Border variables: Cross-border flows, capacity aggregation, and price spreads
- Flexible node-to-area mapping with time series support
