Agrivoltaics Supply Side Management

Optimizes Supply Side Management with Agrivoltaics (Solar sharing between Photovoltaics and Agriculture) by Artificial Intelligence.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install agrivoltaics-supply-side-management.

Case 1

When using by cloning this GIT repository:

pip install -e [ABSOLUTE PATH TO THIS PROJECT]

Case 2

When using a package available in PyPI:

pip install agrivoltaics-supply-side-management

Solvers

We use Python library for mathematical optimization, called Pyomo. As in any mathematical optimization tool, it requires a solver.

For Linear Programming, glpk is used as a solver by default following Pyomo tutorial.

In Macintosh, install it through Homebrew:

brew install glpk

For other platforms, see https://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/

Usage
