Features
- dhmin is a mixed integer linear programming model for single-commodity energy infrastructure networks systems with a focus on high spatial resolution.
- It finds the minimum cost/maximum revenue tradeoff for the size of this network.
- Time is represented by a (small) set of weighted time steps that represent peak (short duration) or typical (long duration) loads, allowing to basically provide a discretized annual load duration curve.
- Spatial data is prepared using package Geopandas, which supports a wide range of storage formats. By default, ESRI shapefiles are used for storing the street network and edges, together with all location dependent parameters (length and peak demand for edges, capacity and costs for vertices). The other technical and cost parameters are provided as a plain
dict.
Dependencies
- Pyomo for formulating the optimizaton model
- Any solver supported by Pyomo (GLPK, CBC, CPLEX, Gurobi, ...)
- Pandas for all data handling
- Geopandas for geographic data input/output
