shipp 1.1

A design optimization software for hybrid power plants

SHIPP: Sizing optimization for HybrId Power Plants

Description

SHIPP is used for studying and designing hybrid power plants, i.e. power plants combining one or more renewable energy production with energy storage systems.

SHIPP is in development. Its capabilities are currently limited to sizing and operation of storage systems only.

Installation

The package can be installed with pip.

pip install shipp

Usage

An example case is given in the repository folder examples/.

The folder experiments/ contains advanced applications of the code used for scientific conferences and publications.

Further documentation is available here: https://jennaiori.github.io/shipp/

Future developments

• Publish package on PyPI
• Expand optimization problem definition to an arbitrary number of production and storage objects.
• Include the lifetime of storage systems in the Storage objects.
• Remove dependency on class TimeSeries

Dependencies

A valid access or license to a solver compatible with pyomo (MOSEK, CPLEX, Gurobi, etc.) is recommended to solve large problems (see more information here: https://www.pyomo.org/).
