summary

Combines an open hydrology and orchestration stack with market modelling by proposing to merge Shift (hydrology, geo wiring, orchestration, C++ core with Python bindings, and DTSS for distributed time series) with PyPSA (grid topology and optimization plus connectors to open and commercial solvers) so the Nordic grid can be modelled end-to-end; current gaps are no built-in solver in Shift, fragile cross‑distro installability (tested on a 128 GB laptop but some runs need ~100 GB RAM), and work toward an open Nordic dataset and a formal foundation.
