pypsa-asset-economics

pypsa-asset-economics is a skill for Claude Code from nimabahrami/pypsa-skills-kit. It costs 136 tokens per session (1,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of methods for estimating the business case and revenue of individual energy assets in PyPSA models. This includes assets such as batteries, thermal storage, electrolyzers, and heat pumps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse arbitrage, capture prices, revenue stacking, multi-market operation, asset utilisation, levelised costs, and whether a project may be financially viable.
Why use it?
A system-cost model answers what is cheapest for the whole system, not what one asset earns. The methods also account for common overestimates caused by perfect knowledge of future prices and by confusing system operation with merchant profit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pypsa-asset-economics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/revenue_report.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

PyPSA Asset Economics

  • PyPSA default answers "what minimizes SYSTEM cost", not "what does THIS asset earn".
  • ! correct (or disclose) three biases in every revenue number.

Bias 1 - perfect foresight

  • optimizer sees all prices/weather in advance.
  • perfect-foresight storage arbitrage overstates revenue ~10-30% (daily cycling) | more for multi-day strategies.
  • Fixes, increasing effort:
  1. report perfect-foresight numbers WITH label + haircut range.
  2. rolling horizon dispatch (24-48h windows, limited lookahead) -> native optimize_with_rolling_horizon + its 3 traps: pypsa-solve-and-debug/references/performance.md item 4.
  3. dispatch vs FORECAST price series -> settle vs outturn. Multi-market sequence (DA -> ID -> imbalance) -> references/multi-market-dispatch.md.

Bias 2 - system vs merchant optimization

  • system-cost run -> asset dispatched to help SYSTEM; merchant asset maximizes own profit vs prices.
  • price-TAKING asset setup:
  1. SOLVE: system model WITHOUT asset (or asset marginal) -> price series.
  2. BUILD: single-asset network = one bus + ONE bidirectional market-interface Generator (p_min_pu=-1, marginal_cost = +price(t)) + asset -> solve. Cost linearity: buy (p>0) pays price | sell (p<0) earns price — one value, both directions. Objective = merchant profit max. ! -price(t) = sign-INVERTED on an interface (paid to buy); -price(t) correct ONLY in the other encoding: on the asset's OWN output component w/ free sink (revenue-max trick).
  • price-MAKING assets (large vs market) -> iterate | accept system-run dispatch as equilibrium approximation. STATE: which.

Bias 3 - wholesale price != asset price

  • merchant assets pay grid fees | levies | taxes ON TOP of wholesale — jurisdiction-specific. ! storage double-charging (fees on charge AND discharge) + exemptions w/ SUNSET dates can flip a BESS business case alone. STATE: which non-market cost components included; never quote model arbitrage as investable w/o them.

Revenue accounting (post-solve, any run)

  • RUN: scripts/revenue_report.py solved_network.nc.
  • per-asset decomposition: energy revenue = sum_t p * lambda_bus(t) * w(t) | energy cost (links' bus0 side) | VOM | annualized capex | net margin.
  • USES: n.buses_t.marginal_price -> run must produce meaningful prices (which runs do: pypsa-market-design).
  • figures from this output -> pypsa-reporting chart-catalog #7 (diverging net-margin bar).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
