Hii OnSSET Community,
Dear Babak,
I am working on projects on OnSSET. I tried to understand how the grid extension penalty ratio is calculated by taking into account the geospatial datasets. However, I found it difficult to understand why the grid penalty ratio also increases when the suitability increases. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? I have attached the code that I took from OnSSET and plotted it.
Thank you in advance,
Thank you for reaching out.
OnSSET uses the inverse classification when determining the grid penalty (so one of your axes should be inverted in the plot, 5 is the worst classification and 1 is the best).
You can find more info on the parameters, ranges and weights used for the classification in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342276403_Advancing_the_state_of_geospatial_electrification_modelling_New_data_methods_applications_insight_and_electrification_investment_outlooks (p. 36).
Best,
Babak
