Model Template for Renewable Energy Supply Systems (MTRESS)

This is a generic model for oemof.solph that provides a variety of possible technology combinations for energy supply systems. It is tailored for optimising control strategies fulfilling fixed demand time series for electricity, heat, gas (including hydrogen), and domestic hot water using any selected combination of the implemented supply technologies.

The development of Version 2 was funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of Germany in the project ENaQ (project number 03SBE111). The development of the heat sector formulations in Version 3 was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of Germany in the project Wärmewende Nordwest (project number 03SF0624). The development of the gas sector formulations in Version 3 was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of Germany in the project H2Giga-Systogen100 (project number 03HY115E).

Installation

MTRESS depends on solph, which is automatically instaled using pip if you pip install mtress. However, pip will not install a solver, to perform the actual optimisation. Please refer to the documentation of solph to learn how to install a solver.

Documentation

The auto-generated documentation can be found on the GitLab pages.
