Key Features

• Comprehensive Exergy Analysis: Calculate physical and chemical exergy, perform component-level and system-wide analysis.

• Flexible Integration: Compatible with multiple simulation tools (Ebsilon Professional, Aspen Plus, TESPy).

• Advanced Component Library: Pre-built components for common energy system elements (turbines, heat exchangers, etc.).

• Extensible Architecture: Easy-to-use framework for implementing custom components and analysis methods.

• Robust Data Handling: Consistent fluid property models and automated data extraction from simulation tools.

• Open Source: MIT licensed, free for academic and commercial use.

Getting Started

pip install exerpy

from exerpy import ExergyAnalysis

model_path = 'my_model.json'

ean = ExergyAnalysis.from_json(model_path, chemExLib='Ahrendts')

fuel = {"inputs": ['Fuel'], "outputs": []}
product = {"inputs": ['Power'], "outputs": []}

ean.analyse(E_F=fuel, E_P=product)
ean.exergy_results()

from exerpy import ExergyAnalysis

model_path = 'tespy_model_export.json'

ean = ExergyAnalysis.from_tespy(model_path, chemExLib='Ahrendts')

fuel = {"inputs": ['Fuel'], "outputs": []}
product = {"inputs": ['Power'], "outputs": []}

ean.analyse(E_F=fuel, E_P=product)
ean.exergy_results()

from exerpy import ExergyAnalysis

model_path = 'my_model.ebs'

ean = ExergyAnalysis.from_ebsilon(model_path, chemExLib='Ahrendts')

fuel = {"inputs": ['Fuel'], "outputs": []}
product = {"inputs": ['Power'], "outputs": []}

ean.analyse(E_F=fuel, E_P=product)
ean.exergy_results()
