Model Library

This page is intended to provide an overview of relevant and suitable models and frameworks for the purpose of the eELib. A few of the listed open-source models have already been integrated, and even more will hopefully follow. If you are missing a model, then do not hesitate to contact us, we are glad to extend this library with as many fitting models as possible.

Warning

This overview gives no guarantee that it is complete nor that all listed models are perfect or even suited for use inside the eELib.

  • Remark toolbox with implementations on auctions, bidding strategies and various agents (operators, power systems etc.)

  • MIDAS-mosaik reactive power markets and (bidding) agents

• Others

  • hydropowerlib

  • lemlab: agent-based development and testing of local energy market applications

  • Energy System Simulation and Optimization for BSS, PV, load, heatpump, electricity price, energy management

  • MIDAS-mosaik weather simulator

Regarding a possible integration into the eELib, other potential models also seem suitable and could be added, respectively, self-developed for integration in the future:

• a simple/ generic charging/discharging BSS model

• a synthetic EV model generating driving profiles, consumption etc.

• a biogas power plant

• a PowerFactory model to facilitate grid simulations (warning: not open-source!)

• other types of energy management systems: for districts, CTS, energy communities, …

• market models for spot market, control power/energy market, local (flexibility) market, aggregator, energy supply company, …

• a weather model, either using time series profiles (e.g. in csv files) or using an existing open-source framework

  Although the following are not explicitly models, there is a very helful website with different tutorials on python and various packages, like numpy, matplotlib, pandas etc.: Data Science for ESM It covers lots of tools that can be helpful when dealing with models for energy systems and is recommended for everyone from beginners to experts.
