Issue with running Python code

[nicobrinkel]

Hi all,

Thanks for this amazing project! I tried running the example file 'single_household.py' using Spyder (Python 3.9.12) by cloning the Git-project. When running this code, the following error occured:
File ~\surfdrive\Bestanden\Grid tariff design paper\Scripts\pylpg\examples\single_household.py:15
electricity_profile = data["Electricity_HH1"]

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I tried looking into the files, and looking into the 'lpg_execution.py' script, but I did not find the error. Would you know what this error could be?

Thanks!
Best regards,
Nico Brinkel

Hi,

in my case, the issue was that I did not have Microsoft's .NET Desktop Runtime installed which is required to start the load profile generator. Without the LPG running in the first place, the library can only return empty values, hence the "None" output you get.

You can verify if that is the problem by heading into your pyLPG directory and trying to run the "LoadProfileGenerator.exe" you'll find there. It will actually take you to the .NET download page if necessary. After installation (& possibly a reboot) you should be fine.

Hope it helps!
