Data preparation

In order to create a consistent test model of the Mid-continent independent system operator (MISO) for comparing energy models, the following steps and assumptions were taken/made.

1. Hourly electricity demand data from 2023 was scraped from EIA with gridstatus. Notebook may be found in energy_data/eia_data.ipynb.
2. For simplicity, the test models assume that all generating resources are connected to a single bus located at the centroid of MISO's service area. The calculation of this centroid may be found in gis_data\miso_centroid.ipynb. The shapefile used in that notebook was downloaded on 2024-03-15 from this government website hosted by ArcGIS and saved to the gis_data folder.
