Hi all! We're looking forward to another great meeting of the Melbourne Python user group this evening. We've got a very interesting main talk planned:
*1. Peter Degorski: Weather, Energy, and Python* (~30 minutes) Energy Analytics is a new industry which Victoria is well positioned to lead in. Python is one of the wonderful tools that are adaptable enough to keep up with the enormous fast paced change. Pvlib-python and windpowerlib are great open source python tools used to model and study utility scale modules and wind turbines. Both are highly customisable. These two renewable energy modelling packages can run stand-alone and with some effort can be adapted to run on historical weather datasets. Doing this can help with the analysis of correlations in the wind/solar generation portfolio of Victoria. Python was the perfect package for this type of project; in my case it was used end to end; from downloading of the data to data modelling, analysis and ultimately visualisation. Also, this shorter talk: *2. Ed Schofield: **Handling physical quantities and units with Python* (~15 minutes) Following on from Peter's talk, I will give an overview of the why and how of Python tools to handle units easily for scientific and engineering-heavy fields. *3. Lightning talks?* *4. Announcements and pizza* *When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards *Where: *Outcome-Hub Co-Working Space, Suite 1, 121 Cardigan Street, Carlton *How to get there: *Walk 12 minutes north from Melbourne Central station. *Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Hub for providing the venue, Biarri for offering pizzas, and Python Charmers for meetup sponsorship. *RSVP:* Please respond on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www. meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ Do come and join us! We hope to see you there! Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers http://pythoncharmers.com
