The open energy modelling framework
Project description
Oemof stands for “Open Energy System Modeling Framework” and provides a free, open source and clearly documented model to analyse energy supply systems. It is developed in Python and designed as a framework with a modular structure containing several packages which communicate through well defined interfaces.
With oemof we provide base packages for energy system modeling and optimization.
Documentation
Full documentation can be found at http://oemof.readthedocs.org.
Installing oemof
sudo pip3 install oemof
Developing oemof
We highly encourage you to contribute to further development of oemof. If you want to collaborate see description below or contact us.
To install the developer version two steps are necessary:
git clone git@github.com:oemof/oemof.git
sudo pip3 install -e /path/to/the/repository
See http://oemof.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html for further information.
See the developer version of the documentation at: http://oemof.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.
Further packages within oemof
Feedinlib and oemof.db are part of the oemof framework. They can be used to create energy system models but are not a must.
Examples
The linkage of specific modules of the various packages is called an application (app) and depicts for example a concrete energy system model.
There is one executable example energy system in Storage optimization.
Further example apps in development can be found in Development examples.
