Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the eELib! We are here to help you get started!

Basic steps to get started with the eELib

First, clone the repository and set up the environment using the instructions in the Installation Guide. If completed, you can run one of our test scenarios, e.g. the one for a single family household with a PV system and a battery storage system.

Note

The eELib will soon be available to install via PyPI - the Python Package Index.

Next, when using the eELib you should become familiar with the structure of the eELib in the Reference Manual, especially the section About the eELib. You can get familiar with the folder structure that is currently used or have a look at the FAQ & Glossary.

After getting to know the eELib a bit more, you are now ready for our tutorials…

Learn how to use the eELib with some short tutorials

Try implementing a new EMS strategy. Or add new implementations like models. Or if you are now ready for running your own simulation scenario, have a look at the scenario configuration tutorial.

You can generally use the Tutorials section for further detailed instructions and information on the setup of existing implementations.
