Package: enlopy
enlopyis an open source python library with methods to generate,
process, analyze, and plot timeseries.While it can be used for any kind of data it has a strong focus on those
that are related with energy i.e. electricity/heat demand or generation,
prices etc. The methods included here are carefully selected to
fit in that context and they had been, gathered, generalized and
encapsulated during the last years while working on different research
studies.The aim is to provide a higher level API than the one that is already
available in commonly used scientific packages (pandas, numpy, scipy).
This facilitates the analysis and processing of energy load timeseries
that can be used for modelling and statistical analysis. In some cases it
is just a convenience wrapper of common packages just as pandas and in
other cases, it implements methods or statistical models found in
literature.It consists of four modules that include among others the following:Analysis: Overview of descriptive statistics, reshape, load duration curve, extract daily archetypes (clustering), detect outliersPlot: 2d heatmap, 3d plot, boxplot, rugplot, percentilesGenerate: generate from daily and monthly profiles, generate from sinusoidal function, sample from given load duration curve, or from given spectral distribution, add noise gaussian and autoregressive noise, generate correlated load profiles, fit to analytical load duration curveStatistics: Feature extraction from timeseries for a quick overview of the characteristics of any load curve. Useful when coupled with machine learning packages.The library is designed to be robust enough to accept a wide range of inputs (pd.Dataframe, pd.Series, np.ndarray, list)
This library is not focusing on regression and forecasting (e.g. ARIMA, state-space etc.), since there are numerous relevant libraries around.ExampleEnlopy has a simple API and is easy to use see some example below:>>>  # df is a pandas dataframe with an hourly DateTimeindex. Each column represents a different generation technology
>>> import enlopy as el
>>> el.plot_rug(df) # Plots a nice rugplot. Useful for dispatch results>>> el.plot_LDC(df, zoom_peak=True) # Plots a cumulative Load Duration Curve with inset zoom plotRun the following code for some more examples:>>>importnumpyasnp>>>importenlopyasel>>>Load=np.random.rand(8760)# Create random vector of values>>>eload=el.make_timeseries(Load)# Convenience wrapper around pandas timeseries>>>el.plot_heatmap(eload,x='day',y='month',aggfunc='mean')# Plots 2d heatmap>>>el.plot_percentiles(eload)# Plots mean and quantiles>>>el.get_load_archetypes(eload,plot_diagnostics=True)# Splits daily loads in clusters (archetypes)>>>el.get_load_stats(eload,per=’m’)# Get monthly load statistics>>>el.remove_outliers(eload,threshold=None,window=5,plot_diagnostics=True)# Remove outliers and plot diagnosticMore examples can be found inthis jupyter notebook.

You can install it usingconda package manager(recommended) by typing:conda install -c conda-forge enlopyor if you prefer pypipip install enlopyBe aware that this library is still in conceptual mode, so the API may change in the upcoming versions.It should be ready to run out of the box for anyone that has theanaconda distributioninstalled. The only dependencies required to useenlopyare the
