This repository contains a (public) Python-based model for simulating and sizing Energy Storage Systems (ESS), connected with a Renewable Energy Source behind-the-meter.
- Simulates ESS operation under various conditions and different regions (example data is included)
- Calculates optimal ESS sizes based on user-defined parameters via a Pareto Front
- Provides visualisations of ESS performance
To use the model, two main requirements exist:
- Installing the GLPK solver and compiling it in terminal Further instruction can be read in the PDF file titled 'Overview_RESBESS_v001.pdf'
- Installing the python packages, noted in the file 'requirements.txt'
pip install -r requirements.txt
