STORAGE CAPACITY OPTIMIZATION :
This Module is an example of storage capacity optimisation.
This example describes a simple microgrid with :
A load profile known in advance
An adjustable production unit, with a maximum power limit
A storage system with power in charge and power in discharge
Objective :
The objective consists in minimizing the storage capacity while meeting the load during the whole time horizon.
Operating steps :
Creates an empty model
Creates the load or the load profile is already known
Creates the production unit - The production profile is unknown
Creates the storage
Objective: Minimize the storage capacity
Creates the energy node
Connect all units on the same energy node
Add node to the model
Optimisation process
Input parameters :
The load profile has to be define by values for each hours of the day. There is no incoherent value as long as you make them relative to each others
The maximum power has to be define in kWh
The maximum charging and discharging power have to be set in kW
