Please follow the rules below when contributing. All contributions are welcome.
- Energy sources: diesel generator, microturbine, PV panels, wind turbine, hydro, ...
- Energy storage units: battery, supercapacitor, flywheel, hydrogen (electrolyzer, tank and fuel cell), ...
- Other types: load, protection relay, power line, static converter (inverter, rectifier, DC/DC, etc.), ...
- Whatever you think could be useful
Any language can be used. The prefered languages are MATLAB, Simulink and Python, but any other may be used. Just add a new folder with the name of the language whenever needed.
For each model, please provide:
- The names of the contributors and their affiliation
- A list of used bibliographical references, preferably with their DOI
- A description of the inputs, outputs and parameters of the model
- An explanation of how the model works
- The type of model: power, voltage/current
- The model characteristics: with or without ageing, the precise type of technology (e.g., electrolyzer (alcaline, PEM, etc.) or wind turbine (I, II, etc.) type)
The following files should be provided:
- Model of unit components (solar cell, battery cell, etc.)
- Model of the system, using the unit model (solar module, battery pack, etc.)
- Validation of the model, with the corresponding input data
- File dedicated to defining the parameters for a given real system, with a reference to the datasheet
More files can be added whenever relevant.
All models are expected to be validated:
- By plotting characteristic curves (e.g., the voltage/current curves for several solar radiation levels for PV panels) and comparing them with datasheets
- By plotting the output of the model for a given input (e.g., the output of a PV panel given a certain solar radiation profile)
A hierarchical structure is used:
- Level 1: folder with component name (e.g., PV, wind turbine)
- Level 2: folder with used language (e.g., Python, Matlab)
- Level 3: folder with model number, starting with "model_1"
- Level 4: files of the model
