PyPSA-USA offers a versatile toolkit that allows you to customize the **data** for your energy system model with ease. Through a simple configuration file, you can control the spatial, temporal, and operational resolution of your model. Access a range of cleaned and prepared historical and forecasted data to build a model tailored to your needs.

PyPSA-USA builds on and leverages the work of [PyPSA-EUR](https://pypsa-eur.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) developed by TU Berlin. PyPSA-USA is actively developed by the [INES Research Group](https://ines.stanford.edu) at [Stanford University](https://www.stanford.edu/) and the [ΔE+ Research Group](https://www.sfu.ca/see/research/delta-e.html) at [Simon Fraser University](https://www.sfu.ca/).

PyPSA-USA also provides an interface for running capacity expansion planning and operational simulation models with the Python for Power System Analysis (pypsa) package. You can run expansion planning exercises which integrate regional and national policy constraints like RPS standards, emissions standards, PRMs, and more.

Sector coupling studies build on the power sector to represent different aspects of the energy system. PyPSA-USA allows you to:
30
+
- Model end-use technology options by sector (residential, commercial, transportation, industrial)
31
+
- Include multiple end-use fuels (heating, cooling, ect.)
32
+
- Study the natrual gas sector at a state level
33
+
- Evaluate different electrification policies across different sectors
34
+
35
+
Additionally, data from the NREL EFS, EIA Annual Energy Outlook, EIA consumption surveys, amoung other sources, are automatically pulled into PyPSA-USA limit/enforce production and capacity requirements accross different sectors.
