plot_network(data::Dict{Symbol,String})

Plots a simple network map of an energy system using line and node geographical data. AC and DC transmission lines are shown as straight connections between nodes, and all network nodes are marked.

Arguments

• data: A dictionary containing file paths for required network data tables (see section Input Data Load)

Plot Details

• AC lines are drawn as solid black lines.
• DC lines are drawn as dashed black lines.
• Nodes are plotted as black points.

Returns

• fig: The Makie figure object containing the network plot.

Example

datafiles = Dict{Symbol,String}(
    :plants => joinpath(datapath, "plants.csv"),
    :nodes => joinpath(datapath, "nodes.csv"),
    :zones => joinpath(datapath, "zones.csv"),
    :lines => joinpath(datapath, "lines.csv"),
    :dclines => joinpath(datapath, "dclines.csv"),
    :demand => joinpath(datapath, "nodal_load.csv"),
    :types => joinpath(datapath, "planttypes.csv"),
)
