Sector coupling optimisation model
Features
- Granular representation of Switzerland's power sector and residential heat sector
- Focus on modification of model structure and parameter values for the efficient generation of large numbers of model runs.
- Linear/Quadratic programming framework for the cost-optimization of operation and composition of multi-carrier energy systems
- Based on Pyomo
- Currently relies on CPLEX. Other solvers (compatible with Pyomo) could be added easily, as long as they support quadratic objectives (or as long as no power plants with linear cost supply curves are used).
