This repository contains a simulation model for Jamaica's energy system formulated as an arc-node network. Based on a given supply and demand curve, JEM solves for flows of electricity across the network using linear programming.
This tool was initially developed in 2021-2 for a CCRI project by researchers at OPSIS, University of Oxford.

The model requires Gurobi and the associated GurobiPy library for the optimisation. In addition, standard scientific libraries in Python are needed such as pandas, numpy, matplotlib etc. Requirements for spatial network analysis include QGIS, geopandas, and snkit.
Note: The Gurobi package requires a license for usage but this can be obtained freely for academic use.
- Clone or download this repository.
- Get a Gurobi license
- Create project enviroment using
micromambaand the config file in this directory:
micromamba env create -f environment.yml -y
micromamba activate jem-env- or using your preferred Python package manager and virtual environment, navigate to the JEM repository and install it as a package by running:
pip install -e .- See the demo notebook for a small demonstration.
This work was initially supported by the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment (CCRI) project on creating a platform for infrastructure risk assessment and resilient investment prioritisation in Jamaica and is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
