How to run GEOPHIRES on datasets

[softwareengineerprogrammer]

Suggestions for running GEOPHIRES on datasets e.g. take inputs from CSV and run GEOPHIRES on each row

(@softwareengineerprogrammer to provide examples)

This test should give an idea of how to follow this pattern: https://github.com/NREL/GEOPHIRES-X/blob/main/tests/test_geophires_x.py#L154

@SHerrboldt can provide a writeup of their work here, possibly to be incorporated into docs for others to learn from

Written code to run multiple instances of GEOPHIRES from a data table (.csv). It takes a data table from a .csv file and populates an input file provided by the user. Each input file is saved to a specified folder. GEOPHIRES is initialized, and each input file is run through GEOPHIRES. The .out files are saved to a specified folder. Currently working on saving output files as .csv (possibly specific info: LCOE, NPV, IRR, etc.).

Included is a zip file containing:

• csv file
• template file
• 2 python files
• loop_write_input_files.py only writes input files
• loop2.py writes input files and runs GEOPHIRES

GEOPHIRES dataset_SH.zip

Workflow for loop2.py:

1. Read the .csv file for depth (TOP), reservoir thickness (TFT), and subsurface temperature (SST)
   Lines 27-29 perform unit conversions and calculate the Temperature Gradient from SST and depth
2. The user specifies a template for the GEOPHIRES input file
   Line 15 = path to template file
3. Saves each created input file
4. Initializes GEOPHIRES
5. Run each input file individually
6. Saves each .out file after each specific run

The file is hardcoded for my specific files, but it is not too complicated. The depth, frm_thickness, and temp_gradient in lines 27 - 29 can be changed to your specific column header. Lines 40 - 46 write the data values to the template file for GEOPHIRES.

Working to save output files as .csv and specific info instead of the whole file.

Now able to save output files as both .out and .csv. User can specify what they want to save in .csv from the .out file, new Python files with data shown in the following zip folder.

GEOPHIRES dataset_SH_csv.zip

Works the same as the reply above, just new lines of code to save as .csv.
