OnSSET has been designed for identifying least-cost technology options to electrify areas presently unserved by grid-based electricity and to estimate associated investment needs related to electrification. OnSSET uses energy-related data and information on a geographical basis such as settlement sizes and locations, distances from existing and planned transmission network, power plants, economic activity, local renewable energy flows,road network, nighttime light etc.
Based on Python. Using Python for data processing.
