pyam: analysis & visualization
of integrated-assessment and macro-energy scenarios

license pypi conda last-release

Code style: ruff python pytest ReadTheDocs codecov

doi ORE joss groups.io slack


Overview and scope

The open-source Python package pyam provides a suite of tools and functions for analyzing and visualizing input data (i.e., assumptions/parametrization) and results (model output) of integrated-assessment models, macro-energy scenarios, energy systems analysis, and sectoral studies.

The comprehensive documentation is hosted on Read the Docs!

Key features

  • Simple analysis of scenario timeseries data with an interface similar in feel & style to the widely used pandas.DataFrame
  • Advanced visualization and plotting functions (see the gallery)
  • Scripted validation and processing of scenario data and results

Timeseries types & data formats

Yearly data

The pyam package was initially developed to work with the IAMC template, a timeseries format for yearly data developed and used by the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC).

Subannual time resolution

The package also supports timeseries data with a sub-annual time resolution:

  • Continuous-time data using the Python datetime format
  • "Representative timeslices" (e.g., "winter-night", "summer-day") using the pyam extra-columns feature

Read the docs for more information about the pyam data model or look at the data-table tutorial to see how to cast from a variety of timeseries formats to a pyam.IamDataFrame.

Tutorials

An introduction to the basic functions is shown in the "first-steps" notebook.

All tutorials are available in rendered format (i.e., with output) as part of the online documentation. The source code of the tutorials notebooks is available in the folder docs/tutorials of this repository.

Documentation

The comprehensive documentation is hosted on Read the Docs.

The documentation pages can be built locally, refer to the instruction in docs/README.

Authors & Contributors

This package was initiated and is currently maintained by Matthew Gidden (@gidden) and Daniel Huppmann (@danielhuppmann). See the complete list of contributors.

The core maintenance of the package is done by the Scenario Services & Scientific Software research theme at the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Enviroment program. Visit https://software.ece.iiasa.ac.at for more information.
