Welcome to reV Routing (reVRt)!

License Zenodo PythonV PyPi Ruff Pixi Static Badge

The reV Routing tool is a computational framework for modeling and optimizing transmission infrastructure requirements for electrical grid connections. By employing a spatially-aware least-cost-path methodology, it allows users to incorporate a wide range of factors including siting constraints, regional component costs, land composition costs, point-of-interconnection costs, and network upgrade costs. Additionally, the tool enables advanced follow-on analyses, such as land characterization for potential transmission line routes, to support informed decision-making. Although it's designed to integrate seamlessly with the reV model, the reV Routing tool is versatile and can also be utilized independently for standalone analyses in transmission planning and resource assessment scenarios.

Installing reVRt

The quickest way to install reVRt for users and analysts is from PyPi:

pip install nrel-revrt

If you would like to install and run reVRt from source, we recommend using pixi:

git clone git@github.com:NREL/reVRt.git; cd reVRt
pixi run reVRt

For detailed instructions, see the installation documentation.
